B&W 805S.. Anyone listen yet?
I think the closest you are going to get is to buy their new 40th anniv (?) model. The white one with the marble tweeter housing. It's a two way with diamond tweeter, but not a monitor. It's a full floor stander. Don't think you'll see anything el... 
B&W 805S.. Anyone listen yet?
The differences between the sig 805 and the 805S are large, yet the sound difference is not that large. 805S uses a different woofer, tweeter, cabinet, wiring, and crossover than the sig 805. The above could also be said about the difference betwe... 
B&W 805S.. Anyone listen yet?
No one is contesting the difference between the Nautilus 805 and the 805S that you have quoted above. It's clear the 805S is better. Where the fog lies is the difference between the Signature 805 and the 805S. 
PS Audio GCC-100 or Bel Canto s300ui integrated?
I don't know exaclty what your budget is, but I would look for a couple different things. First, the Musical Fidelity A308 integrated would sound really good with the audio physics. If you can't track one of those down, I would look for the A3.5 o...

His job is to criticize the best components out there. He needs it as a reference, I have no problem with him taking a tax deduction.What is he supposed to compare other expensive turntables to, the Rega P3?

Paradigm Monitor Series? 
Best "plasma style" main speakers
B&W makes the XT line for exactly what you are trying to do. They also have an LM series that may be worth looking into. 
on Schweikert monitor
They only make one monitor and I don't think it beats the studio 20.Instead of looking so hard for a product to beat studio 20s why don't you just buy them? 
Sophia 2 against a wall, with Meridian processor?
I'll be interested to see how you like the Duette in your house on stands. Hopefully with the dealer setup?? I'm convinced that if you are going to spend the money for wilson, you really should spend the money to have the dealer set them up. (If i... 
What is the process to demo speakers?
Not true, they are also designed to work as a standard monitor. That's the reason for the stand. You can do a crossover mod if you are going to use them in a normal audiophile setup.One of my friends had the wilson dealer setup his watt puppy 7's.... 
sand in speaekers
I'm pretty sure he is talking about specific models that are designed to have mass added to them. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I know there are manufacturers that make a cavity available for this purpose. 
Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound?
Clio09, that's exactly how I do it. I honestly can't tell if there is a difference or not. 
Insanely Expensive....and Worth Every Penny
9rw, that was great! Had me laughing out loud! 
Insanely Expensive....and Worth Every Penny
Tennis, you missed the point. Regardless of how many other components you buy, each and every one should still be worth (to you) what you paid for them. It doesn't matter how many new components you bring into your system. 
Insanely Expensive....and Worth Every Penny
If it isn't worth every penny to you, why would you buy it?
