best speakers for vocals?
Thanks everyone...great speakers and many I have never even heard of. I am looking forward to hopefully auditioning all of these. Unfortunately, some like the Wilson Benesch are not readily avaiable in my area...I have heard the Sonus Faber and th... 
B&W 802D + Pass Labs X350.5 a good match?
brianmgrarcom:i thought that 802Ds need a lot of power? how do you find the mac powers the 802ds? 
B&W 802D + Pass Labs X350.5 a good match?
Yes, I have heard great things about Plinius. My only issue is availability in my area. Not many dealers carry Plinius which makes we a little worried if I ever need support. 
B&W 802D + Pass Labs X350.5 a good match?
Tnanks everyone. Right now, Pass Labs, Classe, and Ayre are on my shortlist of amps to consider. For the Classe owners out there, would you say the Classe amps have a slightl warmer, musical sound? What about the Classe (CP 500) and Pass Labs (X1)... 
best speakers for vocals?
Thanks everyone. My only problem with electrostats are their size and lack of bass...granted i have only heard the martin logans. but i agree the sound is crystal clear. one thing though, i did not find electrostats be as warm and emotional and I ... 
Roku SoundBridge vs. SqueezBox3
just to be clear, if all of your music is stored on an NAS you do not need the pc to be on. trust me, i have the sonos and i do not have my pc on... 
Roku SoundBridge vs. SqueezBox3
May i suggest Sonos (www.sonos.com). It is self amplified, does not need a pc to be, comes with a great controller with a large color screen, and most importantly is very reliable. 
Does having an object inbetween the speakers bad?
thanks Phd. I totally agree with your post. I am actually in the midst of upgrading both my preamp and amp. My shortlist is currently Classe, Ayre, and BAT. 
Awful sound from B&W's: Break In needed?
remember also that b&w speakers are very sensitive to speaker placement. try playing around with that. also, what kind of cables are you using? i used to run nordost blue heavens to my 804s which made them sound a bit harsh. after I switched p... 
Which CD with Volume control up to $3500
Another vote for Wadia though I must also nominate the Cary 303/300 cdp. 
Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system
I have the Purist 20th Anniv Aqueous cables and i really like them. Very smooth cables that just seems to work with my system. I do not think you have to have the same cables throughout your system. I use Acoustic Zen Silver Reference IC between m... 
Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables?
louis1, I am thinking about the Aqueous or Venustas as well. If you dont mind I would be greatly interested to hear what Purist says about these two cables. 
Preamp to match with Halo A21
dariox, i have not heard the rotel or primare. I can definitely recommend the ayre or plinius if you want a slightly warmer sound. also keep in mind that cables and interconnects can help as well. i just switched to purist audio design speaker cab... 
Preamp to match with Halo A21
Hi, I have a A21 and currently have it mated to a Parasound P3 preamp. The results are ok. For the price, the P3 is not bad. But I will be upgrading my preamp soon. I have listened to both Ayre k-1xe and Plinius M8. Both great preamps. The Ayre is... 
Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables?
nutella, i am auditioning the Aqueous cables right now in my system. I have also auditioned the Museaous cables. The Purist cables are very smooth with a nice solid bottome end. My system does not exhibit the Vividness that Jafox describes but I l...
