Room Acoustics Problem?
Thanks all. I did measure at listening position and did adjust the readings to correct for instrument design. Speakers are fairly parallel to one another and I do have an oriental on the floor. But, I used a slightly different adjustment than Nilt... 
Vans Evers vs. Monster
I researched the PS Audio Power Plant and didn't like the efficiency factor much, as Sugarbrie suggests. At the end, I purchased the ExactPower 2000 which seems to do the same kind of job with a lot less waste. It made a world of difference -- voc...

Ehider, from the sounds of yours and other posts, I'm afraid there aren't many truly reliable reviewers, so it pays to go to lots of sources. Even if someone is trying to give a great and objective review, other factors enter like the room acousti... 
Musicality" in a system? What IS that ?

Tube preamp for Bryston 7B-ST
Thanks Abstract7, I am also exploring power regenerators and would certainly like to try before I buy. Since relocating from Boston, it's not real convenient to bring stuff home, so I appreciate all the feedback from fellow Audiogoners. By the way... 
Biamp w/2 Bryston4BST s or 1 14BSTw/B W?
Bwyoung is on the right track: I owned a pair of 4B-ST's and loved them ... until I heard my system with the 7B-ST's. The trade-up was a no-brainer for me since I enjoy a well defined bottom end and my speakers are tough to drive. Overall, the sou...
