Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W
Meow......... LOL! 
Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W
Craig: Margins from 40-60 points is real world markup in this industry you and me both know it. Electronics range in the 40-45 point range.Speakers and cabling in the 45-65 point range. One example is Wadia. Average dealer markup is 40 points with... 
Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W
Stehno: Sure, its a garentee that Worldcat bought speakers and gear without truely auditioning them to begin with or even having and makes obvious comments that point towards that, and Craig doesnt keep any stock on hand for auditioning either. Wo... 
Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W
Craig: I will politely decline comment here. But be aware that "worldcat" has put evaluation on speakers I dont even think he ever physically heard in proper perspecitve(if at all even) in another thread, epsecially if he bought em from you(for ob... 
Wadia 861 or keep Electrocompaniet mk2
The exerpts from Wadia's site really dont have any true merit agreed, but there are noticeable improvements over the older 860x. I just brought it up due to the fact that the DAC board was redesigned and now incorperates 0 global feedback cleaning... 
Wadia 861 or keep Electrocompaniet mk2
Ejilif: A Wadia 860x and an 861 are 2 different animals altogether. There is a very noticeable increase in resolution and image focus. This is taken directly from Wadia's site: Available immediately, Wadia has introduced the 1 Upgrade for owners o... 
Wadia 861 or keep Electrocompaniet mk2
Go with the Wadia. I like BAT products and owned a VK50se a couple years back with a ML CDP and Wadia 850, but it is nowhere near as transparant or dynamic as a stand alone Wadia product. This comparison was with an 850 too mind you which is a ste... 
Wadia 861 SE VS. Wadia 27ix v3.0/270 transport
THe transport section on the SE is considerably better than the 270. The 861se is basically a 270se transport that uses Digimaster v2.4(32 times resampling from the 861 player) software(which has adjustable algorythms). Where as the 27ix uses Digi... 
Revel Studios for half price?
Id be very interested in hearing a pair of the C3's, Ive heard a few people make claims on them,I would also like to see a speaker that truely is +/- .75 DB in its specified response range as the GMA's claim to be(along with parts tolerance and pa... 
Help me to tame brightness
I doubt its the speakers fault for sounding bright. Put more of the blame on the room itself. All first reflection points should have some sound absorption material on it. If you have alot of bare drywall, the first reflection points are going to ... 
Revel Studios for half price?

True Fully Balanced Amplifiers
Aragon makes true balanced amplifiers. They have quite a few excellent ones to choose from too. 
SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel
Nrchy quotes: "Ritteri, the point I made with your cymbal crash was that it extends higher than 20 kHz, not that the bass wasn't being reproduced. The point is that 44.1 kHz cannot reproduce anything above 20 kHz, it has nothing to do with the bas... 
Revel Studios for half price?
GMA quotes : "We do indeed match to tight tolerances as stated above- always have. I personally have re-checked drivers and crossover parts from customers' speakers we made going back 20+ years, and seen no remarkable changes. Your measured differ... 
Full range or sub/sat ?
Yep, thats basically what I said in a nutshell. =)
