Looking for a new speaker. Wilson Maxx II ??
Goatwuss,The Maxx II compared to Revel Salon,MaxxII is a complete sound, not detached between crossover freq. Compared to Maggie 20, equal is mid resolutin and bass to boot. Krell LAT-1 with Master Ref Sub, Maxx II beats these in all area even bas... 
Looking for a new speaker. Wilson Maxx II ??
I recently purchased a pair of MAXX II's and I have owned several of the above mentioned speakers and a little food for thought for you.-Every speaker I've owned is made with a certain brand of cable. Wilson are made with Transparent Reference XL ... 
Preamp matching for Krell FPB amplifier
If you are an FPB amp with no cast then the new Krell KAV preamp is perfect for that beast. It is esentialy the KCT without cast and paired with XLR cables you will get the most neutral and pure (unmolested) sound. 
Krell x-series, are ther any sonic benifits?
Krll, are you a Krell guru? To everyone else who reads this, the answer is definatly yes, this guy actualy does know the scoop quite well. I would take his word on any Krell question. I wonder though why the guy who had the MR subs, where you audi... 
Soudstage Height?
Speakers set up, cables and room depth. obviously electronics enhance this effect, but my own trial and error says set up first and then cable match to the system, then far field listening if possible size of room. 
Pass Labs X-1, X-2, X-0
I owned an X-1 for a year until the Krell KCT demoed a-b against the X-1 in my system. I was very surprised in the difference. The KCT was much more neutral and definatly cleaner. I sold the X-1 bought the Krell. The X-1 is still a very good piece. 
Krell x-series, are ther any sonic benifits?
I wonder the same thing? I have a krell 600c and think personaly if they just gave themselves a honest power rating and put an x in the name. It is only slightly different cosmetics. Maybee the output devices are different, if so I'll bet there is... 
Audiophile's New Year Resolutions?
Just as soon as I get the three big pieces ( Krell 600c, Wilson surrounds, dcs percel upsampler ) I swear I won't spend another dime on anything else. Of course if Krell updates the five channel HTS to Seven, then I might do that and then of cours... 
Advise on used 1k to 1.5k pre-amp
Adcom 750 pre is unbelievably transparent with no feedback designed by nelson pass and class A stereophile recomended,I also agree with the B&W choice. 
Pre-amp for sunfire signature 2 channel amp
Ditch the sunfire, get a Krell 300i used integrated for around$1,500.00 and you will be very happy with the results. I owned a sunfire and it just couldn't do it with bass. Don't get me wrong but it does have alot of shortcomings when comared with... 
Most beautiful violin recording you have heard

what speakers do the best "disappearing act"??
I personaly have owned Alon, very good very warm and image christal clear. Quads even better but my end all search was with the Wilson watt puppys. If you can afford them and at least 600 watts of power to truly experiance the disappearing act, I ... 
King of High Current Amps
I just dumped a sunfire because of its frequent loss of controll in the bass region. For under three grand you might think about a KAV Krell unit on closeout. You can save 30% at almost any dealer right now and have an amp that will hold decent va... 
Tell me about NAIM
I personaly think that Naim makes a very good soundstaging product that competes well with american brands at their price piont. if you want dynamics without slam, Naim might be good choice.
