Anthem AVM20.Good luck, 
Aragon versus Krell
I used an Aragon 8008BB with both B&W N805's and N805Sigs and was very happy. This amp has power to spare and loads of detail. I've never owned a Krell.Good Luck, 
Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?
I think Sean and Slappy need to get together and do a question and answer show. Should make for some insightful answer and laughs.I hope nobody takes this the wrong way. I enjoy reading both Slappy's and Sean's post.Thanks, 
Pre/Pro choice at around $1500 new...
The atlantic tech unit is based on the same East-tech unit as the outlaw and sherbourn processors.Good Luck, 
Newbie Question
Rear speakers should be "voiced" like the front's. It's best to use speakers from a single manufacturer so that pans are seamless from one speaker to the next.Good luck, 
How many amps should I buy for my speakers?
Having lived with the N805's for almost 5 years now I like to add some observations gleened from lots of experimentation and equipment changes.1. Take the grills off when listening. This does wonders for the width of the soundstage.2. The more pow... 
How many amps should I buy for my speakers?
The B&W's like power; 200 watts is good. I owned a pair of 805's and currently own the 805sigs.Good luck, 
First pre/pro and hopefully last

I take wood descriptions online with a grain of salt. I once bought some "exotic" african wood; turned out to be the local equavilent of cheap pine. Ended up using it for templates and cauls. I came across a description for eastern douglas fir on ... 
Designing a Plinth
BTW, hickory is one of the the strongest woods on the planet. Incredible high shock resistance and stiffness. Hear's an idea, make the plinth from hickory (no sap wood) and cover it with 1/4" or 3/16" exotic veneers. Good luck, 
Designing a Plinth
4yanx,I buy wood regularly from about 6 different suppliers on line and two local suppliers and they all sell tropical lignum vitae by the pound because it is so rare. One local supplier charges $95.00 a foot for 1" dowels! However, I did find one... 
Designing a Plinth

Seperates or Receiver on a Budget
For the money, the outlaw is a no brainer. I just hooked up an outlaw pre/pro and amp the other day for a friend. It's amazing what they can do for $2200.00.Good luck,
