Best Concert Film
The Who "Tommy" concert from LA in 1989, recently released with their "Tommy and Quadrophenia Live" 3-disk DVD. Video is not so great but performance captures the Who at their best.. "Live in Boston" and "Live at Royal Alberta Hall" are just OK.Ge... 
bryston14b to krell 400
If you mean the FPB400cx then yes. You should be able to get it for around 5-6K. 14B is no slouch either but Krell will be more musical. 
Shunyata Hydra-vs-Balanced Power Tech Ultra
I used to have the BPT Signature Ultra. It did extraordinary things in my friend's setup in terms of completely holographic presentation and over definition. In my system it was stellar on video/tv, sonically it improved the bass on my cdp but slo... 
Richard Gray's 400 Pro = Emperor's New Clothes??
I used to own RGPC 400 MkII and it resulted in a better focus but slightly leaner sound. It did great things to video/tv but I sold it having hard time to justify its sonic. Later I got the original RGPC400 and it had zero effect/benefit like it w... 
Behringer DEQ 2496 question
After you press AutoEQ go to page 3 of the RTA menu and you will see which frequencies are being adjusted. 
Can Electronics Affect Speaker Placement?
As you know every new component in a chain will result in a different system response. I think adjusting distance to rear wall and toeing the speakers in/out should suffice. 
Has anyone compared Ayre K-1x to Pass X-1
I have tried both. Ayre is probably the one of the most accurate preamps out there with great tonality, soundstage, speed, papability - you name it.The X-1 was not that far behind, also very accurate but less than Ayre, it has a very deep soundsta... 
Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system?
Thanks Honest1, thats a very valuable input. My system is also very resolving and I would only be trying to boost some upper bass regions. Do you use the analog in/outs or just digital path? 
Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system?
Thanks, I will try it. When you think about it it costs as much as a decent interconnect but the potential gains may be worth thousands. I am just afraid about their reliability, there seems to a lot of quality problems as of recently. 
The most detailed speaker cable??
Very detailed but not a good match with superfast gear 
Parasound - Pass Labs - VTL - Krell Amp Selection
I have owned JC-1 in a past. I don't know what it was but they didn't do anything well. I waited a month for them to open up (they weren't new when I got them anyway) but nothing happened. Make sure you listen to it before making a decision.I own ... 
Amp for Maggies 3.6R
Try Bryston 14B or 7B monos - they were used to voice 3.6Rs. Another alternative is a used Krell FPB 200 or 300 
Krell FPB 200, comments?
I used to have one, was happy with it but sold it when the upgradious made me try Parasound JC1. Guess what: going back to Krell when money permits.I used to have Classe CAP150. If you find your CA200 too bright Krell will not help here because it... 
Dunlavy SCIII
Mine are very sensitive to their room location as well. I have to set them up before I listen every time because of my 3 yr old (I just put them against the wall). Anyway, I get similar results (left channel is stronger) and it takes a while to se...
