Upgrade Time Again.... please help
O.K. Dan in that case, given your budget my vote goes to the Joule Electra OTL mono's. Both beautiful looking & sounding. I'm not sure about how they would mate with the 801's load. Generaly speaking you want above 6 ohm nominal. 
Upgrade Time Again.... please help
Wow Dan, that's quite a list. All sonically speaking are very different. If I had to stay within your selections, I would vote for the Lamm you can afford or the Wolcott. 
Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better?
Hey Gthirteen: Did see the Merlin VSM's for $1500 on this sight? I think that will give you everything your looking for at a great price. No sub needed & in IMHO betters the 805's by far.

O.K. I'm with ya Gthirteen...Your gonna think I'm crazy, but I actually like the way the CDM1SE's sound over the 805's. Of course even though I did listen to them the same day, they were in two different systems & rooms. 805's with Krell separ...

Sure Gthirteen...maybe you would like to buy you Porche & perhaps a vacation home. Lighten up for gods sakes. I'm just trying to help you out here. Look, I'm not trashing NHT. I think some of there products are pretty nice (in particular the 3...

c'mon Gthirteen...read these posts. How many times have the REL's been mentioned? There's a reason for that. They are really one of the very best subs out there. They will integrate seemlessly & have many models in all price ranges. REL will e...

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.
