Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better?
Gthirteen, the EA's will go lower than the 805's. Although they are rated to go down to 40hz, they still are not going to give you that true full range sound your looking for. No moniter will except for maybe perhaps the Extrema. Trust me, your go... 
monitor speaker for near-wall placement?
Doug: Just make sure they don't have a rear port. I have a pair of Celestion 100's which are a sealed cabinet & do well near the rear wall. 
New Visitor Confused Over Upgrade
Hey Peter...I'll bet ya think BOSE sounds real good too!!! P.S. Be careful... JBL's have been known to cause severe bleeding from the ear canal. 
Best Preamp under $5k??
I'm with you Gasman. The Joule is a real sleeper. It rivals preamps costing thousands more. 
Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better?
Gthirteen: I think you know deep down that there is no moniter in the world that's going to give you the deep bass your looking for. Let's face it, physics don't allow. I own a pair of Sonus Faber Electa Amatours. Although they go as low as just a... 
Rock? money down the drain?
No unique system sounds the same regardless of the source. It doesn't matter whether it be rock, jazz, classical or whatever. A carefully matched system can be assembled to be more taylored to rock music. It's got to play loud, be quick & lots... 
Meridian 508-20 to 508-24 Upgrade
Hey guys...What do you think of upgrading a 506-18 to 24 (would it be huge) and does this upgrade offer up-sampling? Please advise. 
Hospital Grade Wall Outlets
Sorry to burst your bubbles guys. I used to work for Hubbell for a number of years. Their receptacles are truly built like tanks, with the highest of quality & will last forever. Although they are fairly expensive for what they are, (compared ... 
McIntosh Dealers?
Try Harvey Electronics in NY & CT. They sometimes give up to 20% off & put their items up on ebay. 
Tip on room lighting
Can the protective screens be easily removed? If so how? I have a new SONY 53". 
What does everyone think of shahinian?
I had a pair of the super elfs too. Personally I found them to be a bit bright & fatiguing. I was driving them with S.S. Perhaps a lush sounding single ended Triode tube amp would have been a better mate. They are certainly efficient enough fo... 
Wanted: Exceptional preamp w/remote
Avguygeorge: I'm confused about your post in reference to the Joule Electra & CAT. Are you saying you owned the Joule for three years or three months? Did you or did you not like it. Do you own a CAT now? Please clarify. Thanks...Sagger 
Sonus faber Musica,and Guarneri
Hello Otdriller: I have a pair of Electa Amatours...Want to trade? (Ha, just kidding!). Anyway, I'm running a pair of 22 foot lengths. You should keep both sides equal, but do not coil the ten foot side on top of each other. Snake it so the wire d... 
THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS
Bsm: The guys who mentioned Sonus Faber are right on track. I own a pair of the Electa Amatours (originals). They are truly awesome & as full range as you can get for a monitor along with being fairly efficient too (88db 1 watt @1 meter, 8 ohm... 
PS Audio PP300 works great, but......
Meta: That's a great system you have there. Certainly very capable of producing high resolution. Being a detail freak, I would think you would you would absolutley love the P-300. It definatley allowed me to hear more detail in my system. I'm a li...
