Eggleston, Merlin, Jean Marie Reynaud????
I would go with either the Eggleston Fontaine or Merlin VSM.I have owned most of what is mentioned above personally. They are all good suggestions, but you consider auditioning the 2 mentioned above. The Eggleston Fontaine with the Jeff Rowland Co... 
We are normal unlike the rest eh??? ha ha
Thank you so much Mikelavigne, I am always on Audiogon for years and years now and I missed this excellent Video out, thank you so much!Ravi 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Apogees - I have 2 pairs in Storage (waiting for a better room) I have a space made for it along with the grave,nothing out there like it ever. 
Aurum Cantus leisure 2 SE VS Sonus Faber Guarneri
One should not compare this 2 speakers since its not fare.They are in different leagues all togather, in Price and performance.It like comparing a Mac F1 and a Nissan 350Z, both great cars, different league and performance and PRICE. 
Sonus Faber or Aurum Cantus
I am so sorry to say this!There is no comparison actually, I tried a broken in Aurum Cantus and I was not impressed. Good but nothing out of the oridinary. Mind you this is comming from a BIG Ribbon fan who still devotedly owns 2 pairs of Apogees.... 
LINN Majik vs Classik vs Wakonda vs Kairn
I wonder if there were differences in all the Majik's.My integrated has a huge Toroidal Transformer, I was quite surprised, nothing close to my Krell but it pretty big for sure for a 33 watter. 
Who makes speakers with relaxed high freq.?
Very tricky, you want small, good bass and smooth!Sonus Fabers family would be ok, used of course, spendors are ok....these are very general answers of course....but get a pair of Ribbon based speakers and dont come much smoother than that, dont g... 
PS Audio Outlet 15 or 20 for my Krell integrated?
I have the 500i Integrated which comes with a 2-kVA-power supply and thats why I am not sure if I shold go with the 15a or the 20 a high current, Do you think the 15A High current version will work well? Thanks 
How does Krell KAV 400 XI compare to KAV 500i
NO! The 400xi is not better then the 500i in my opinion.I had all the Krell integrateds and a few pre powers, except the new FBI integrated.The 500i makes the 300i, 300il, and 400xi look like toys believe me. Its a different beast all togather.The... 
Suggestions for Cables all with Krell
Powercord for the Krell - Go for - AUDIENCE!You will not regret I assure you. 
Is Audience or Cardas a better choice than Kimber?
Give us a little more info on your system?That will surely helpGenerally Au24 is detailed and smoothCardas GR - Detailed and much more neutral (laid back side a little) - very very nice if you have a more lean sounding system - works well on my Kr... 
VPI Scout - HELP Not sure how to pack my .......
Thank you! It worked like a charm, thanks guys 
How much better is the Krell 400xi compared to the
I have had both and plenty of other amps, my question is has anyone made direct comparisons between the 300i and the 400xi?They are both terrific units but other than the 50w difference which is not really vital for me based on my secondary system... 
Bellari VP129 thoughts/experiences?
I have had some very exotic phono preamps, like Vendetta, Spectral Preamps, EAR and more...The Bellari - VERY NICE, and for $250 I assure its a joke.You can place this with an expensive analog setup, and there is no intimidation. Slight hum but th... 
New room, very small .Speaker Placement???
Well I made my Apogee full range ribbons work in a 10 X 15 room and everyone said it can be NOT done, when I got a new place, my room was much bigger and there was subtle difference but better difference since the Apogees need lots and lots of bre...
