Looking to buy a complete 2 chanel system
Tyler has a complete Bel Canto system on here for under 5k. Leaves you enough for a killer set of speakers and some change. 
Zu Soul Superfly
The Zu website has a list of amps they tried the Soul with. The recommended a Dynaco st 70 unmodified I believ, for best bang for buck amp. Check the site, I may be wrong. 
amp to power paradigm studio 100s
I'm driving my studio 40's with a B&K ref 200.2. I'm quite hapy with it, although I haven't compared it with much.

members with no feedback?
I did it one time. Never again. Was told the Totem's were 6 months old, an e-mail to Totem confirmed they were 9 years old. I payed via paypal immediately, only to get the run-a-round for a month until I finally disputed it with paypal and Visa. M... 
One speaker putting out -3db less?
I've moved them all around, changed channels, changed sources, chnged cables and everytime it's the highs in one speaker. Found a local dealer to get me a replacement, just have to take him an invoice since the dealer I bought them from doesn't se... 
One speaker putting out -3db less?
My speaker cables are the same length. And as far as room boundaries, these speakers, and everything else, have been in the same spot for almost 2 years. I used a Blue Sky calibration disc.40-80hz I'm almost dead even.500-2.5hz there's a huge diff... 
One speaker putting out -3db less?
These are all great points. I used a handheld spl meter in the center and moved my balance left and right.It's a noticeable difference. I noticed my soundstage had moved slightly to the left, particularly the vocals, that's what caused me to check... 
No sound from cdp.
Sometimes just turning off the cdp and turning it back on will work. Sometimes I have to turn everything off to reset it. It never does it while playing. I'll listen to a cd and it may play fine. Take that disc out and put another in and it may no... 
No sound from cdp.
Good points as usual, that's why I post here. I'll do a little more troubleshooting. I might just bypass the dac for a few days. I only bought it to play the files from my computer anyway. 
No sound from cdp.
Thanks for your response.I have my music files from my computer running through my dac. They play just fine. I have tried bypassing the dac, and my cdp plays just fine. However when I hook it back up to my dac, it plays fine then. I just had this ... 
Need help identifying these cool speakers?
I thought the same thing about the port. It looked like Moth. 
Cable Elevators - What do you use?
I'm considering using bundles of helium ballons tied to my cables. I was thinking of getting them after birthday parties and such, pretty cheap. Forgive me for the levity. 
integrated or separates...on a $1200 price point?
I picked up a B&K Reference 5 s2 pre for $400.00, used and a B&K Reference 200.2 s2 amp for $650 used. I think it works quite well with my Paradigms, but don't know how it would do with the B&W, but I imagine it would be pretty good.

Dopogue, Interesting you mention static. When I took the cd out I was listening to, I "shocked" myself on my cd player from typical static after walking across the room. Perhaps that did it. The pre was fine, at least the tuner and my dac from the...
