What does State of the Art mean to you?
Hi all, I've been gone for a while. Skimmed thru the above post and can see all are getting along as usual. But with out further comment on the above. State of the Art to me means I will be spending more money out of my pocket and hoping that it i... 
New Maggie Owner; What amp????
I don't own mags but I did hear the 3.6 with a byston 4bst and it did sound quite amazing. With a 20yrs warrantee. I myself run a bat vk200 with aerius i's and I am very pleased with that combo. My friend ownes the little mags, I think they are th...

Sean, you really should consider opening an audio shop or having a going out of business sale, about the sale please send me a notice, I'm always looking for something I don't need but just want.for me: 1 cd player, dvd player, 6 speakers, tape pl... 
Upgrade advise: ATI, Bryston, Aragon,
If your wondering who will be around, then buy yourself a bryston. I had the 3bst and it was solid like a tank(20yrs warranty), tho I did sell it to buy a bat vk200. I would go 2 channel amp for front and maybe a 3 channel for rear and center, unl... 
Beating a Dead Horse. SUBS
No money, I have the aerius i's now and looking for a sub to intergrate seamless with them. Eventually the aerius will go to the back of for ht and I'll be looking to upgrade to the cls2z for the mains. Just hate to spend the hard earned $$$ on a ... 
Beating a Dead Horse. SUBS
When I spoke to a Martin rep., he said somewhere between $2,000 to $3,000. This was about 2mos ago. 
Unbelievable Solid State Amp at 2-3k ran
Check out the bat vk200, very musically and great bass control. 100watts but I would say its closer to 200. Can be had for 1600-1800 used. Never listened to the bak vk500 w/bat pack, but it does have more power, seen them used around 2400-2800. Bo... 
Solve this fun puzzle
Good call Sugarbrie. I was thinking either b&w, nht or the paradigm. But b&w is probably the best bet. As far as were to start I guess that is personnel preference. I start with speakers myself, spending as much as I can on the speakers an... 
Stacking power amps mono blocks
I do not believe a half inch is enough space. Not only should you be concerned about the lower unit, but also the tube amp above, so much heat in a tight space is probably not good for either of them. I would take ed's advice and buy a couple of a... 
Martin Logan Don t Rock
Minalt, I agree with you on the sl3's, I did not like them and bought the aerius i's and am very happy with them. Lev335 has the ascents and loves them also, eventually I will try them, but I'm leaning more to cls2 with 2 subs for music. Just have... 
Magnepan vs Martin Logan
Nicely said audiokinesis. Lev I too enjoy the martins. Apparently you have one of the amps/pre's I've never had the chance to audition with my aerius i's. But I've tried many others to name a few okay ones were bryston & rotel. To name the one... 
Martin Logan Don t Rock
Like no money said the 10t's do rock. But what are you using for an amp w/your SL3's. I have tried many amps with my aerius i's and your right they don't rock, UNLESS properly feed. That may be your problem. It's all in the pre amp/amp that makes ... 
Magnepan vs Martin Logan
Joel, I have listened to the big maggies. They did sound nice and were driven by bryston 4bst. I did not get to compare them with the ML's, side by side. But I did end up buying the ML aerius i's. At the time I bought the aerius I's I also bought ... 
Warm sounding ss power amps
The bat vk200 is supposed to be more musical, never listed to the vk500. Like John said, may depend on power needs. I feel the 200 has plenty of power. good luck pete 
Best surrounds to match with SL-3 s
I agree with Bill. Get another pair of Sl-3, if ya can't swing it get the i's. pete
