B&W N805 vs. Revel M20
Hey Tim! You were right. There was a thread with my exact title. I usually mention to people to check the archives, and I didn't do that myself. Seems like I should take my own advice. I'll keep ya updated. 
Building a system for a friend...Please Help
Audio refinement integrated. They are supposed to be bringing out a 150 wpc in the near future. I agree with the Arcam cdp. Also, look into the Music Hall CD 25. Also the Creek 5350SE would be a great choice. 
Speakers
Hi, first you are going to need some fairly effecient speakers since you are using 80 watts. Not bad by any means, just means speaker choice needs to be important. I was just going suggest B&W N803, but they need lots of power. You might want ... 
Electrocompaniet owners
I wouldn't count out Electro yet. If you have heard it and like it, it shouldn't matter what others think. 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
someone new, but I would have to say Sean Watkins from Nickle Creek. 
Suggestion for good used Integ. Amp for $ 5-600?

$500 total to get into vinyl, what would you buy?

Maybe hold out for the new Avantgarde Solo? 
Anyone familiar with Audio Refinement?
I've owned a Complete integrated for a while, I just recently sold it. It was a great little amplifier, and I almost really regret selling it. It is made/designed by YBA. Their products, especially when bought used, are of great value. I stepped u... 
Who is the Youngest Audiogoner??
23, joined when I was 21. I know there are younger people than me, however. 
Biamping help needed
If I follow you correctly, you would in fact, free up one set of pre outs because you would only use one right and one left, leaving the other set open. Running in vertical mode works for some people. My experience was different. When I vertically... 
budget amplification - what to get?
Sometimes you can find the Anthem INT 2 that low, also look for the audio refinement. How about Parasound separates from a couple years ago? I forget the model of the pre amp, but the HCA 500 amp is a little 50 watt solid state that leaves you ple...
