Oppo/Nuforce 93 CD/DVDplayer: That good or hype?
Sunny:I own the Oppo 93 outright and not the Nuforce upgraded version. I am extremely HAPPY with my unit. It plays all my SACD, HDCD, DVD-A and Redbooks with greatness. The $500 price tag was well worth the look and I have never considered anythin... 
where is another good place to search for b&w's?
Patience is needed if you are looking for used...They will come along...Where are you located??? There is a guy in FL that continues to put his 802 N's up, don't think they've sold yet 
Acoustic Zen or Tyler Acoustics or Dunlavy
Chip:I own a different brand from Ty...I have a pair of the Woodmere II's and they are by far the best speakers I have come across. The gentleman I bought mine from had two pairs and he is currently selling his second pair at a fantastic price, wo... 
used amp or amps for B&W 801's in home theater
Jiminee crickets...A room that size you will need two subs or at minimum a JL Audio Fathom 13 or SVS PB13 Ultra just to achieve the bass from movies. No speaker can fill a room that size with authority or support of bass management. If going the B... 
used amp or amps for B&W 801's in home theater
Overkill??? If you are just looking for home theater and you do not have a designated home theater room per say and this is going to be integrated within your family room..yes this might be overkill IMHO. You could be just as well off with a nice ... 
used amp or amps for B&W 801's in home theater
For your home theater use you will use your pre-outs on the Elite to interconnect to your power amp which will drive your B&W...I would suggest nothing less than 250wpc to run those speakers. There is all kinds of discussion on which because o... 
best bang for buck on used ht speakers? maybe b&w?
Baran:I nearly have the same as you and upgraded over time. I have the Pioneer Elite 94TXH as it had 140 wpc for my 602s..I bought a pair of CDM 7NTs and replaced those fronts with those CDMs and it made the world of difference especially in the b... 
Thoughts on Amperex PQ tubes
Many thanks to all the responses...As I delve into the tube world it becomes apparent that music is just that much better and the folks in this forum are very sincere on their experiences. By luck I have been able to locate a matched pair and soon... 
Thoughts on Amperex PQ tubes
Mofi...Many thanks for your reply..I did take the plunge and bought a Modwright SWL 9.0SE and had Dan upgrade the power supply...totally new dimension to my music. I am hoping that a few Amperex will make it just that better.Mt10425..thanks for yo... 
which flagship receiver
I use a Pioneer Elite VSX94TX...It will not dissappoint you in any regard and will have plenty of ummph for your speakers. 
Speaker Choices
I would stear towards the Vanderstein 3A or even a Vonshweikert VR33. These are both relatively wall placement friendly and very musical. These also don't require gobbs of power to run amplifier wise. Really depends on your room and placement vs f... 
Question for you B&W guys
I agree...I have owned B&W for years now and you will not really find a major or noticable difference other than less money in your bank account. Your mix is really ideal and if there are no qualms about it, there is no reason to move up the c... 
Towers with massive dynamics & soundstage $3k?
I concur with the Tyler Acoustics...I purchased a set of Woodmere's just above your price point and they are phenomenal. I would give Tyler a call, he had a good deal on some custom made full range in his shop that were traded in not long ago. 
Any experiences with Modwright SWL9.0SE ???
Mofi..It also appears that the Amperex Holland 7119's are tall. Is there a height issue with these tubes when the cover is put back. I have read somewhere that once of the tubes is taller and one might have to cut holes in the lid to accommodate. ... 
Any experiences with Modwright SWL9.0SE ???
Mofi...What speakers are you experiencing this wonderful sound with??? Got any leads on a good venue to obtain some of these Holland 7119's???
