Deciding between Yamaha or Marantz
Per Bo..."These days I only focus and sell a 3 Dimensional sound. Most 2 dimensional products I only use to let my clients understand the difference in stage between them. It is very easy to make people understand why it is superior."Yeah, I guess... 
Amp for Sonus Faber Cremona M's
I once heard a pair of SF Cremona M's being driven by a Marantz PM-8004, and could not believe what I was hearing - extremely impressive performance. Now I am not recommending this particular amplifier even though I know it will get the job done a... 
Marantz SR700 cost to repair too high... advice?
Definitely use the money toward something new and do not repair what is now an obsolete AVR. Most mainstream electronics, especially AVR's, are not worth repairing as the technology changes so rapidly. Modern AVR's now offer lossless decoding of D... 
Music Hall MMF-5.1 or Project RM-5SE
As a Pro-ject RM 5.1SE owner, I can honestly say that I have had this unit close to two years now, play it at least an hour practically everyday and have never heard any motor noise. And I use the supplied the record clamp screwed down onto every ... 
B&W design quality observation. Any downside
You are not alone Paul and I believe you are actually in the majority. I think our friend Bo has lost so much credibility here at Audiogon, that most don't even bother to comment anymore. As amusing as his inability to spell or write a coherent se... 
B&W 800 D series vs Magico, Avalon, Wilson, Focal
Let me tell you Bo, the Avalons, Wilsons, Magicos all sounded very 3 dimensional but when I heard Up,Up and Away and Wedding Bell Blues on a pair of B&W 800D's, I truly heard music of the 5th Dimension. 
B&W design quality observation. Any downside
I know this is a little deep for you.Yes, it can be heard and compared. The opinion given by the listener on whether it is wide and deep is perception. Nothing more. It cannot be measured.So chill out Dude. As I said earlier, the world isn't endin... 
B&W design quality observation. Any downside
More Bo'isms or since Bo loves music so much, a few more of Bo's greatest hits. "I owned and sold them for many years. It is based on facts."You posted this on 10/16 and I asked you for the facts to prove that B&W's cannot make a deep soundsta... 
B&W design quality observation. Any downside
Per Bo...."I owned and sold them for many years. It is based on facts."Bo1972, kindly site the "facts" that the B&W's cannot make a deep soundstage? I would like to read this in writing. If you cannot provide these "facts", then please underst... 
Best speakers for $1500 or less?
Since you have already found a speaker that you love, your on the right track as to what you like. So I suggest you go and listen to other brands similar to the SF Venere 1.5 to narrow down your preference and find the absolute right speaker for y... 
Looking for $1500-2500$ speaker system
I can think of dozens of different pairs of "quality" speakers within your price range. But that doesn't mean that any or all of them will sound good to you.Besides the very good points already made to you, here are a few more.Do you prefer music ... 
Marantz PM-11 S3 - thoughts?
Thanks for the update Classact. I am happy you are pleased with your new PM11-S3 but frankly not surprised. I'll bet the amp and your Pulsars sound fabulous. Enjoy the music! 
RIP Panny Plasmas
That's too bad but we all knew it was coming. LED's are built for the masses; those that embrace MP3's and IPODs.Light weight, cheap and convenient is what its all about with todays consumer. I was an early adopter of Plasma and had a Pioneer (bes... 
Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution?
Just having my morning coffee and signed on to get my daily dose of Bo...Another excerpt from our resident audio god..."At shows I Always asked the people of naim why it is so 2D. To be honnest many people who even work for distributers there know... 
Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution?
Per Bo once more..."It is just an opinion. The shows with the latest B&W are Always 2-dimensional."See guys, this is why I find his posts useless. Regarding B&W once again, first he states it is his opinion. This is OK as we all have them....
