Signal Cable -- High End Generic?
I think for what Frank sells it for; it is a steal. I have a good friend that just built a system on a budget. He used the Signal Power Cables (digital and standard) and purchased the new Silver Resolution Interconnects. They sound very nice. So n... 
Help me with this choice Paradigm, JM Lab, Sonus
I have owned speakers by Paradigm, JM Lab, and now three pair of Sonus Fabers. They actually do Rock & Roll very well as that is really all I listen to. (See my system)The Paradigms and the JMs may be a little more detailed but will be WAY les... 
JM Lab 707S died on me.
Slappy,You are very welcome. Glad they were able to help you.Chris 
Advice on system and speaker placement-B&W
Jeff,I have been in your shoes before and actually started buying music based on the recording, not what I was into as I wanted things to sound good and not bright. You have gotten some good advice from Dave and Ubglub. Here is my 2 cents for what... 
Sonus Faber GP + cj 2250
Okay, then I would definately try both amps as they are not a difficult speaker to drive. The new Domus would be a little more challenging as the 4ohm load. Take a look at my system, I own them and my Cary drives them with ease. Not to mention the...

Best $1k Integrated Amp for Spendor S3/5's
2 Integrated Amplifiers that continue to impress me at that pricepoint are the Unison Unico and the Creek 5350SE. Both can be had used here on Audiogon in 9/10 condition for under $1,000.00. Everytime I listen to them at my friend's house, I am ju... 
Sonus Faber GP + cj 2250
Ven,You are welcome and the CJ is certainly a nice amplifier. I can tell you that the following amplification works with the Sonus Fabers as I have owned 3 Pair now with multiple set ups. Electrocompaniet, Creek, Cary, and Unison Research. (These ... 
Sonus Faber GP + cj 2250
It is more than enough power to drive the Sonus Faber GP's and should sound nice. My Cary SLI-80 drives my GP's with ease in the 40WPC mode. I listen to Rock at moderate to moderately loud volumes in a medium sized listening room.. The CJ signatur... 
JM Lab 707S died on me.
Slappy,That sucks. Contact Audioplus services and ask for IAN. I believe he is still there. He will help you. They rep JM Lab products for the US and will know the best path to get you a replacement driver.http://www.audioplusservices.com/Chris

Great Album Purchases of 2005
Dlwask,I agree on the Cold Roses Disc. You should also pick Ryan Adams "Love is Hell" full release. It is a Stellar album. I also enjoy "Demolition" and "Rock & Roll" but "Love is Hell" takes the prize IMO.I will have to check out the Mississi... 
whats your idea of loud music.
HAHA.. Good thread. I listen at moderate to moderately loud levels but the mood strikes I love to crank it up and "feel" the music. I do have this buddy who runs a Cary SLI-50 (30WPC) and runs a pair of Tyler Linbrooks. He listens to stuff LOUD pe...

Lush,Nice Selections! Beck Guero is in my car right now. If you like Rancid, try these two Social Distortion albums. Somewhere between Heaven & Hell Sex, Love, and Rock & Roll. Chris

Great stuff! I am a Rock & Roll junkie as you can probably tell by my selections but I purchase and enjoy all types of music. Keep the recomendations coming! Been listening all day, I cannot believe it is already 4PM... What a great day.Chris
