Cable suggestions for Martin Logan
Bill at Miller Sound is not making cables anymore.If you search the Agon classifieds there are some for sale used. 
B&W 804 Nautilus help
I think you should bi-wire, and you do not need double posts on the amp. If you get bi-wire cables, they are always combined (2 ends) on the amp end, with 4 on the speaker end. If you have two pairs of single cables with spade fork ends, you can a... 
What speakers for an old Nakamichi receiver
I agree that $1200 speakers would be overkill. They may also be revealing, and show the shortcomings of the receiver. She really could put together a nice small system for $1200. What CD player does she have?Whether or not she wants to keep the re...

Music Hall makes the MMF1 for $79.00 at J&R Music World.Too cheap? Then how about the Blue Circle BC23. List is $1250, but is available new under $1K.

Cable suggestions for Martin Logan
Blue Circle BC92. Blue Circle founder and designer Gilbert Yeung has Martin Logan CLS IIz in his reference system. I would think these MLs were used to design the cables. He does still use them in the system. You can always Email Gilbert and get h... 
What's the best Sub ??
The best sub? Love a meatball sub!Sd has given you a good list. The REL Q subs may be preferable for a dedicated HT system. The HSU VTF subs are also good for so little $$$.

For the N804, the more power the better, even if it is over 200 watts. Don't worry about too much power. More than brand, since you are concerned about the impedence curve, choose an amp that has a power output at 4 ohms that is double the 8 ohm r... 
Does it hurt when you sell at a loss?

Experience with Blue Circle amps
I am willing to bet BigCop and Thirty40 are the same person. BigCop just registered the other day, and has only posted to this thread. It's also because BigCop seems to appear at the right moment to defend Thirty40.I also heard from Gilbert's asso... 
Best Upgrade for 1,000- for my system
Gee Stehno, you want him to replace his whole system! 
Best Subwoofers? for my system
The Vandersteen or REL would be a good choice. The Vandersteen 2W comes in two models; one for HT and one for music.REL has two lines. The Q subs (Q100E, Q150E, Q201E) are their Home Theater Line. They are still very musical. REL's audiophile line... 
YBA Passion Integre
Audiogon member Lgregoir has one. He told me that in his opinion it is better than the Series 2 separates, comes close to the Series 1, and is worth the extra money over the Integre DT. Send him an E-Mail through the Agon system and I am sure he c... 
apt holman problems
I am not familiar with that Rega, but does that Rega turntable have built-in RCA cables?? I would also suspect a worn out cable, possibly at the RCA plug, especially if the cables are old. With the turntable on, try giggling the wires at the RCA p...
