the best not always the best
Cody my system is very transparent, sometimes I feel its to transparent to my liking. The problem is some of my cd's sound great and I float into audio heaven. But some of the cd's I have are terrible recordings. You can hear the hissing and it al... 
What to do with your tax return?
With the unfortunate down slide on the market in the past year. I decided to hold the cash for next years oil. I figure next winter will run about 2,200 for oil(100 yr old new england colonial). I did have the wife talked into used vk3i and possib... 
Lets fight Part2
Well I guess we all can't play fair in the sandbox. I just read tireguys thread on best value speaker. And replied on what I personnally liked for speakers. Someone out there gave me a -2, -2 for something "I enjoyed??" Being in the military so lo... 
Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts?
God I hope not. I know the usually have empty wallets after going to the local dealer, hopefully I'm not the only one who experiences this.

Gey Lev335, you have made many friends I see. I see what your saying in your email to lakefrontroad, BUT you could have left out the "deal with it" comment and your little email to him may have been a true apology with no hurt feels. You may want ... 
Spendor, Harbeth...why so hot ?
To all who would listen to this speaker splendor, try them with the passion tube amp. Though it did not rock the house, they were quite beautiful to listen to. I found great pleasure with there musical performance. 
Best value speakers available
For least amount of cash spent, I'll go with B&W. Abstract I think they can be had for around $600 and they do sound very sweet. I love My Martin aerius i and will eventually buy the cls2. But if I had the cash I would buy the varsity parsifal... 
Home theatre and Musical Experience
Steve, this can be done but as mentioned above it is expensive to do, this is what I have come to experience. First of all I run Martin aerius i's which the cost of a good amp has made my journey a pricey one. I'm using a bat vk200 amp to drive th... 
Speakers?
For 1,500 the B&W gear sounded rather nice and nht does make for some good sound also. Never had the pleasure of listening to AT or energy, but I was impressed with the sound that came from the small B&W monitors. good luck.. 
Resale value of BAT gears
Paul you are so right about my mileage varring. Since I started this upgrade thing, I think I put more miles on my car going to dealers than going to work. pete 
Stunned by a cable upgrade
I experienced the same when I tried a pair of nordost speaker cables with my ML aerius i. The sound was ear piercing with the nordost. The dealer suggusted transparent and that fixed the problem. I bought a new component, bat vk200 and was not wil... 
Lets fight Part2
I didn't mean to start a fight with the orignal LETS FIGTH thread, just looking for some comments of why people have to give them. How can you rate an opinion? The truth of the matter is it is just an opinion. We all have different setups in our h... 
Speakers?
I think a martin setup makes for a nice ht. A little pricey, but very transparent and detailed. Sub is a must if you want to make the room move. good luck pete 
Tight Bass
It's hard not to use the term tight bass. I was checking out subs the other day on the net and went to about 4 different sub manufacters and all of them used the term tight bass. Najo, where do you find one of these subs that don't add the extra ... 
Resale value of BAT gears
Just like a car when you drive it off the lot. I think alot of the other gear is over priced, used that is. I've tried the AR, classe and afew others, don't understand how they kept their value, but they do. Not my taste but apparently many others...
