Need complete analog setup options/recommendations
Twl...thanks for the input. Other questions to add then are won't I have to consider a pre-amp or a phono amp? How does a linestage play into this if at all? What about volume controls? 
Looking for opinions on ATC Active 10's or 20's...
I bought the ATC SCM 7s for my home theater from a dealer who had both the 10's and 20's. I became pretty good friends with them so I bring music over a lot to listen to both of them. Originally they only had the 10's. I was not that impressed. Af...

Ayre K=3x preamp? Turntable suggestions?
I am not sure if I can help specifically but there is one thing to listen to when it is all hooked up. Listen to a piano peice and see how long the notes last. I was at a dealer a week ago and they were comparing this and a tube pre-amp. It was ve... 
HELP Federal Express broke it and WON'T PAY

Magnepan..the sun rises and sets on..or does it??
I have a pair of 2.7QR's that are powered by Ayre. This is not bad at all. It just depends on your budget and listening taste. I am beginning to look at a much better system to replace my current system. Where are you located at?

So is silver taboo for this? I am new at this but I ordered and waiting for an AA and I will have Kimber Selects 1120 balanced connections directly to an Ayre amp. Is this going to have the same result? 
Tubelike solid state: Ayre Vs Aleph
I listened to a pair of AP hooked to a Cary amp and fell in love with the sound of the AP's. I would hate to give that sound up too. It was also a little weak on the bass though. I have a V-3 that I have been dying to bring over to the AP dealer t... 
Need amp/pre recommend for Maggie 3.5s
I would start matching with an amp before worrying about a pre initially. I have an Ayre V-3 hooked to my Maggie 2.7QR's. I have listened to the Bryston and Mark Levinson amps connected to them. The Bryston is bright with good punch to it (better ...
