Sellers Who "Didn't Know" or the Convenient Excuse
The ultimate claim is "XX years left on the warranty". Many companies do not have transferable warranties, so the claim is not valid. Regarding Bryston's 20 year transferable warranty, if you email Bryston the serial number, they will tell you how... 
Contact Cleaner
Undilluted Isopropyl is used as an industrial solvent, so Gregm has a point. 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
I've heard a Levinson / Revel system that sounded great. Many dealers that sell Levinson, also sell Revel. Those two companies are owned by the same parent company. They better sound good together. That does not mean B&Ws are bad speakers.I wo... 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
Very interesting! There are old Agon threads that describe Levinson as being "sterile, clinical, lacking in palpability, soft, dull, and to get it right, proper speaker matching with them is important". Are you sure it is the B&Ws? 
Are You Happy?
Just enjoy the music. Live music is better than any recording, but having said that, I have to say that I have never been in a concert hall, etc., that has been free of accoustic problems. Amazingly, many of the problems have to do with bass respo... 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
Krell1 (and others) you're right. I still laugh at a review on Audio Review where one guy trashed some high end B&Ws because they did not sound good connected to his Yamaha receiver. Another person returned their B&W P series to the store ... 
Adcom "B" stock amp into my NAD C340 integrated?
If you are willing to spend $500 and since your NAD is probably worth $250 used, why not sell it and get a much better used integrated for $750.FYI on the above post; Spearit Sound has brand new AMC tube integrateds on clearance for $499. List is ...

I had a more than happy ending with a golf club. Bought a used Taylor Made Burner Bubble Driver a few years ago for only $75 shipped. They cost new about $250++. The shaft was loose in the club head (obviously not shipping damage). I took it to a ... 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
MikeZ and Fdaltoaolcom. I see you both have contributed to a combined total of 3 posts, and 2 of the three is this post. Welcome, but how much experience do you really have? B&W speakers tend to be very revealing (some ruthlessly revealing), s... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Grandpa: You could start with the Blue Circle BC3 with the Despina power supply ($3,300). The external power supply can be traded in for the Galatea power supply later. The BC3 Galatea ($4,650) is Stereophile Class A and it is not their best pream... 
subwoofer setup problem
I really don't know about the technical details. The Stratus and Storm has settings down to 22Hz (not 28). The Stratus has room response down to 18Hz, the Storm 16Hz. They were built to compliment the main speakers, not replace them. Call and talk... 
subwoofer setup problem
Really depends you how the sub and crossover workds. REL subs work best with no overlap. For a speaker that goes to 40Hz, most REL users would set the sub at 34Hz to 38Hz depending on placement. The REL owners guide acutally sais most user make th... 
Sellers Who "Didn't Know" or the Convenient Excuse
It could be worse. A few years back I purchased a new version of an imported amplifier that I bought from a dealer, but it was shipped directly to me by the U.S. importer / distributor. The U.S. distributor shipped me the old version. Both the dea... 
Is it just me or has A-gon become a high dollar
Your chances are better getting well cared for LPs on Agon over eBay. 
Contact Cleaner
I hope someone does not use them to clean their "contact" lenses.
