help focal 726v to 836v?
Curious as to why you are not considering the new Aria line? I listened to 3 models in that line about 2 weeks ago and was very impressed. But I haven't heard the Chorus models you are referencing. 
Which REL subs for ProAc One SCs?
I had these speakers in an open living room/dining room/hallway like yours, and the REL Storm III I had worked superbly. Like REL recommends, I had the crossover way down and I never had the gain up past 12 o'clock. This setup worked perfectly for... 
Budget $3000-3500 new or used
I have a local dealer with Maggies. Perhaps I will give them an audition, haven't listened to them since the Tympani IV in the 80's (which I loved). I wonder how they would fare on my BAT mono blocks, possibly not enough power. Right now I am maki... 
Budget $3000-3500 new or used
The repair is too expensive. If I were an engineer, I would jury-rig something with an outboard amp for the woofers. My brother may give that a try. In the meantime I hope to find something I can live with--for less $$! Probably an impossible dream. 
Suggestions for speakers for my setup
The Vandersteen Quattro Wood CT's I heard at at a local shop recently had the most deep controlled punchy bass and kick I have experienced in recent years. $13,000 with required outboard crossover. I would snatch them if I had the funds. 
End of an era: Genesis 500 servo amp died
RhlJazz--I know, I should just get them repaired! Then I would have basically new updated speakers in the old cabinets, good for another 15-20 years or more. Since the system worked beautifully for so long, I know you are right. Twilo, as to what ... 
Best Integrated amp for ProAc Tablette Annivesary
As I recommended on your other thread--find yourself an Audio Research CA-50 and you will find heaven. 
Best Integrated amp for my ProAc
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Audio Research--a match made in heaven with ProAcs. I have an old CA-50 ARC integrated with my ProAc D15's, used to run it with my SC-1's, sounds fantastic. 
Mytek Vs Wyred4Sound DACs
I'm also considering a new DSD DAC in that price range and am looking at North Star Design Impulso and Excelsio. I have had a North Star USB DAC for a couple of years and love it. It just doesn't do DSD and I have some files from Blue Coast Music ... 
Replacement for Squeezebox Touch?
I don't think you need to give up on the Touch just yet. I have 7 Squeezeboxen around my house and everything is working just fine. Of course, if Logitech Media Server is ever discontinued, we are done, but that ain't gonna happen anytime soon. By... 
Higher End USB Cables
I only have limited experience with USB cables for computer audio but here it is: I first tried an Audioquest Cinnamon USB cable but was surprised and alarmed at all the drop-outs I was getting connecting my MacBook Pro to my Northstar USB 32 DAC,... 
Looking for hi value CD/SACD player...
I bought a used Marantz SA-11S2 for about $1500 last year. Sounds absolutely gorgeous on both CD and SACD. 
The New PS Audio PWD MKII
Got my bridge and eLyric working today thanks to arrival (overnight shipping from Amazon) of a new wireless Ethernet bridge. I followed PS Audio knowledge base recommendation and bought a Linksys (Cisco) WES610N 4-port bridge. I was trying to use ... 
The New PS Audio PWD MKII
Thanks Tonyp for the suggestion--I will see if I can enter the Bridge settings manually. At one point I was at that screen and there were no numbers on it--because i was not connected to my network. Stickman I don't know if I will be able to tell ... 
Life of a PS Audio PowerPlant??
I had an older P300 that had no issues other than the blue logo light burning out. I did overload it a couple of times (accidentally) by plugging a TV into it (plasma was way too big a load for it) but I was able to reset the unit and it was not d...
