Allen Toussaint album: The Bright Mississippi
I will look for that episode of Treme Chazro.Martykl, SQ = sound quality? I presume...I was thinking about The Bright Mississippi album and noticed I did not give my own two cents. It occured to me the beat is a bit reminisent of Tom Waits (of cou... 
will they go louder
I had 1.6 Maggies with an Innersound ESL amp (a special one with an extra big power supply) so it had about 1000 watts and they played insanely loud. I have heard the 3.5 tweeter is a bit more sensitive than the QR but I do wonder if you have enou... 
Having an ear for Jazz
noisy is a term I use myself to describe all types of music that annoys me.I often prefer slower or simpler (and often older - 30s, 40s 50s etc.) music these days...I too have evolved toward more jazz and find myself listening to it almost exclusi... 
Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences
maybe look into Audio Note speakers, crystal clear and easy to drive, also, if you buy the model E, they are nearly full range.enjoy! 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Sonicray, the answer varies depending on the system it is in, I have found... but, if the IC is put between the pre and amp it will affect all the sources you use for your stereo (presuming you have other sources)fwiwenjoy 
Chicks With Guitars
Bonnie Raitt! 
Warm, fullbodied, smooth, and transparent
Gabriel Gold has a beautiful tone (with a slight golden glow) and terrific detail/soundstage/imaging 
Can Redbook CD Be Saved
I think just the simple fact that a CD has a case with pictures and information on it helps their cause quite a bit. I find it handy and also like the physical presence of something I have purchased as a reminder of what I own and to listen to it.... 
Speakers for Bryston
Maggies (if you have the room) are the first speaker to come to mind.best to list the room size and which end you will place the speakers 
Which speakers... B&W 802D or Vandersteen 5A's?
I have listened to the 802D several times and thought the bass and lower midrange was thick and colored, also they are known to be difficult to drive. I am sure the Rogue 180 is beefy but I wonder if it would be enough to really light up the 802D....

New NAD 326 BEE Owner -Disappointed Help
the 326 is supposed to be a step up from the 325 especially in the area of refinement and detail... 
New NAD 326 BEE Owner -Disappointed Help
I have been thinking about the tonal balance of my system with the 326 and 300ti speakers (which I told you before is on the warm side) however, I use old Tera IC which are warm and the speaker wire is White Lightning DIY which is warm as well. Wh... 
New NAD 326 BEE Owner -Disappointed Help
I use a 326 BEE with Sound Dynamics 300ti speakers and am very happy with the bass. The overall balance is a bit full and I agree there is a bit of 'murkiness' but the sound is dynamic and vibrant. Also the 300ti's go fairly low and the NAD seems ...

Dan ed,actually I can not get local channels in my set up, there is a big tree right where the dish needs to aim to get them. But why would I want to pay when I get the off air service for free? and like I mentioned the off air is better sounding ...
