ss amp synergy w/wilsons
wow! great to come home and see all the responses! real surprised to hear all the ayre suggestions as i have heard them to be not a great match for wilson (although stellar amps overall). i have not heard the halo's but appreciate the suggestion a... 
ss amp synergy w/wilsons
spectral is sort of hard to find. i suppose dma 180 and maybe dma 50 for the center? i did audition wp's with spectral so i have heard the combination years ago. 
Watt Puppy that much of an improvement?
stvrvin-they are different sounding speakers, wp/b&w, so it becomes a preference. i have lived with wp 7's for many years and i really don't think much about changing them. to me, they are outstanding and excel in everything i look for in a sp... 
theta or lexicon or NAD
always subjective when you ask for those types of suggestions however i have owned all of the above and with confidence i believe theta to be in a much higher class. agree with raks that every piece of theta gear i have heard or owned has been exc... 
Is EAC compatible with Windows Vista
i am also having some trouble on my first day with eac. like someone above, i am able to rip but the files are sent to my documents as individual songs. no album art and no organized album file. is this the normal result? i am considering just usi... 
Who's your guitar daddy now?
i am old but always has been adrian belew. 
Krell 300c, 300cx or 250m???
all are very impressive amps so it is a tough question. that would be a back breaking audition session!i am getting ready to list a 600c if you desire a bigger animal... 
theta crossover question
thanks for the response buff. they can all be set independently but only down to 40hz. why set the center at 50 if it only plays to 55? 
what are the recomended freq/slope for xover?
rleff- very little as they recommend phase perfect to be the better of the 3 for most situations. 
what are the recomended freq/slope for xover?
ironically, i actually prefer the sound of the sub where you suggested not to place it! i move back and forth but now it is centered. this is also thiels recommended placement for 2 chanl. 
what are the recomended freq/slope for xover?
that is sort of what i did. the surrounds frequency response is 45hz to 22khz and the center is 55 hz to 22khz. the theta crossover is set for front and center at 50 freq and 12 slope, surrounds 60/12. a theta guy who used to help me out had them ... 
Sub users...
i have found that the only way i can get seamless integration with my sub (for 2 chan) is to center it between the l/r. this is most noticeable in situations like you describe, drums that move across the soundstage. this is also thiels recommendat... 
DVD movies must have
the jim jarmusch film "year of the horse. neil young and crazy horse live"...great dts recording, great film overall...made to play loud! 
Krell processor up grade for audio stereo .
not to complicate things but i was just doing some experimenting with my krell amps on saturday. i use the 3250 for my surrounds as well and krell fpb600c for fronts. i wanted to see how the 3250 would sound on the fronts and oh my, it was a huge ... 
Wilson Benesch Torus and Thiel SS2 subwoofers
yes, i do have allot of noise from the sub. i am dealing with a hiss issue throughout my system (thread going in amps forum) so i attributed some of the sub noise to my system trouble. it is a large amp and i was expecting some but it does seem ex...
