Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound?
I have always felt that the best jumper is "NO" jumper. Bi wire is much better IMO. The problem with that statement is that there are different beliefs if bi-wiring offers any better sound than using jumpers and a single cable per speaker. I will... 
Replacing crossover in Apogee Centaur Majors?
Don't forget too that the late Jason Bloom "Mr. Apogee", put allot of work into making your Apogees sound it's best. It was one of the many speakers that I feel were designed with little compromises. Don't forget to try some tubes. It is important...

Apogee & Tubes
I say yes if the amp can handle a 4 ohm load you should easily drive the Slant 6's. I drove a pair of Centaur Minors and eventually moved up to a pair of Centaurs with the 8" woofer for several years with a Modified Dynaco Stereo 70. I used them i... 
"I'll pay you later today"
Rex,I agree with you 100%. But you have to look at timing of the item that was listed too. I will sometimes wait 2 months before putting an item up for sale. I will not place an ad if there are 2 or 3 others like it online. That reduces competitio... 
Alon I MKII speakers or B&W 600 series as AV speak
As an owner of the Alon I Mk II's I think they will be a great addition to your home theater. Simply because of the radiating pattern of the midrange and highs. The speakers simply disappear. The B&W's a good but the Alon's to me seem sweeter ... 
Using Sound Valves tube pre EPL function.....
Hello,I believe the EPL was used to connect an equalizer or dbx type box. Hafler and several other manufactures placed this function on their preamps. The new digital gear may not be comptiable with the VTP 100.On the sound of the VTP 100 vs the S... 
"Integrated Amp" Do I dare go there??????
Some of the suggestions are good. But there are several that have not been asked: One- What speakers are you using with your Krell gear? Two- Do you need a phono stage? Three- What speaker wire and interconnect(s)are you using? Four- Are you using...

AMC tube gear... any good?
I wouild personally stay away from it. There are several other units out there that sound better. From China and other places in the Orient. The integrated amp wasn't as good a my Stereo 70. Sound stage depth wasn't there. The top end was simply o...
