To cryo or not to cryo
First of all, you know that stores set up their tvs so that the ones they want to sell look better. You have to do some research before hand, or at least look at the same tv at two or three different stores. 
To cryo or not to cryo
If you buy a TV based on how it looks in a showroom, you might be interested in the bridge I have for sale. I have some great pictures of it! 
Mixing speakers, 6 and 8 ohm?
Thanks to all.the rustler 
To cryo or not to cryo
Douglass at Cryo-Nebraska (recommended by BPT) said either $3 or $4 a pound. The Pure Power Center is 5 pounds shipped, so it wouldn't cost more than $20 for the whole thing.I'm just trying to figure out what it DOES!! 
To cryo or not to cryo
Surely it can't be completely subjective! It's not that expensive either. I'm just trying to find out from audiogoners who have a reasonable sense of objectivity. 
To cryo or not to cryo
BPT has referred me to Cryo Nebraska, a firm that gives us a discount. They charge by the pound, believe it or not. I wouldn't be doing this on my own! 
Best Live Shows 2006 ?
OK: Hands down winner in my book. Tom Waits in Detroit Opera House. Unbelievable show; astonishing presence; great band; set list to die for. Anybody else catch him on this tour?rustler 
Thiels or Von Schweikerts
Boys, boys, boys! I unloaded my Adcom relics quite a while ago. I'm in the process of buying a Cary SP81 integrated, which should pacify even the most audiophillic among us, either that or a Manley Stingray.The rustler 
Thiels or Von Schweikerts
Boys, boys, boys!!! We can make this thread into a monster if we all pull together as a team! 
Thiels or Von Schweikerts
Will do; although, my decision might be a few months down the line. If/when I make the call, I'll start a thread to that effect.rr 
Thiels or Von Schweikerts
Thanks to all of you; obviously I have to go and find speakers to audition! I love the way this split almost down the middle, with Thiel coming on strong down the stretch.Later,the rustler 
Gallo REfF3's-All their cracked up to be?
Tantra, that's wonderful advice. I was thinking of using a powered subwoofer to supplement the Gallos. Would that be overkill in your opinion? I have a Von Schweikert powered sub, which is incredibly quick and musical.Many thanks for the input.rr 
Gallo REfF3's-All their cracked up to be?
How much power do they need? I'm thinking of getting either a Manley Stingray or a Krell 400xi integrated amp. Would the Manley tube piece be enough? The lit says they can handle up to 350! rustler 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
ADS L810s get my vote. When I first heard them in about 1974, they blew my mind with their incredible clarity and definition. I finally bought a pair in 1979, and I absolutely loved them until my son blew them up listening to Magical Mystery Tour ...

To say Michael Bolton serves a purpose is basically like saying that there's some obscure cosmic justification for Burt Reynolds!Who knows?
