Best Amp for Magnepan 1.7?
Bel Canto Int amp or the higher powered bel canto power amps. 
Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha?
I agree also that Focal and Accuphase has a nice synergy to them. Add Purist cabling to that system and it will be very heavenly. 
Help with Turntable selection
hard to go wrong with a VPI Scout. 
TW-Acustic Arm
Any new updates on the 10.5 tonearm ? 
Pre-audition advice needed
suggest you try the Harbeth HLP3 ESRs. They are very good in a small - medium size room. 
Wilson Sophia 3
Nice color! i hope the wait is not too long. 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
Bel canto amps are also a very good match with Thiel speakers. Heard them at a Singapore dealership 2 years ago and it sounded sublime. 
Wilson Sophia 3
Congratulations Cbd0815!! what color did you order the S3s in ? 
Audience vs. Auditorium speaker cables
i agree with most of the posters here.the au24s sounds more hi fi, energetic.The au23s are very natural sounding. The tones, harmonic richness is spot one.For the price, one of the best bargains in cabling. 
New Von Schweikert VR 33?
I've heard a few VRs in the past few years and I must say, they are some of the most impressive speakers i've heard.Set-up properly they can be spectacular !! 
What Wilson to Buy?
Janeb,Hopefully someday, DW can investigate other possible tweeters for use with his Wilsons.There must be a good reason why over these years he sticks to the Focal Tweeters.Must be something special to them. 
Experienced audiophiles best speaker
music lover speakers = Harbeth, Spendorsaudiophile speakers = wilson audio, magico, Dynaudio 
What Wilson to Buy?
Somehow Wilson audio likes the focal tweeters. Someday, they should experiment some soft dome tweeters on their speakers.I think in most cases, its those focal tweeters that is standing out in their speakers & calling attention to itself. 
Bel Canto Ref500M and Aesthetix Calypso
The Bel Ref 500s are nice amps! they are also very powerful.Midrange is smooth. I like that little amp quite a bit. 
Smooth sounding copper IC like Kubala Sosna
The closest cable that has the smoothness of the KS without becoming lean is the Purist audio design museus.I own a few of their cables & they are very close.The KS is just more refine, more smoother but the PAD is pretty close.
