Thiel 7.2's with Electrocompaniet AW-220's?
I owned an EC integrated and loved it! No issues what so ever! I bet the combination would sound great. They are definitely some of the better sounding solid state amps avaibable in my opinion.Chris 
Which headphones are comfortable?
Sennheiser 600's. I used to have some really nice ByerDynamics but they were just uncomfortable so I never listened to them. The Sennheisers not only sound incredible, but they are very comfy..KiD 
Triangle Titus 202 Opinions?
I kind of doubt it. They are BRIGHT speakers even when broken in.KiD 
Any Bob fans out there?
BTW.. Picked up Body of Song and Love it! Bob is touring to promote this record and will be at the 930 Club here in DC on Oct 7th. (I am going) Might want to check your local venues..KiD 
Any Bob fans out there?

Nirvana "Nevermind" MFSL soundquality vs Normal
I own it and In Utero and I would agree with the statements above on Nevermind. In Utero has a bigger margain of improvement... KiD 
Legacy 20/20 and Tubes
Mo Drivers! Mo Better! I suggest you audition other speakers...KiD 
Mike Doughty Fans?
Hmmmmm, his new album is rock but he is quite the Wordsmith. He usually tours with an acoustic guitar and a keyboardist. I just saw him a little over a month ago at the Black Cat in DC. He is a fantastic performer. I am seeing him again in Septemb... 
Legacy 20/20 and Tubes
I think Seans input is valid. KiD 
Has anyone tried out new Mapleshade speaker wires
I have a friend that is using their speaker wires and he is very happy with them. I think they are decent wires for the money, however they seem to fall short in that last 10% of "Magic" us Audiofools seem to constantly be seeking. Example, the So... 
Acoustic Zen vs. Nordost
The Nordost cables with Solid State Gear make me think of the Triangle Speaker Sound. Thin, Fast, yet Mechanical and hard sounding. Completely unenjoyable in my book.With your system, I would be looking at the Acoustic ZEN, Audience, or even the h...

Very good thread! Nice mention on the Kula Shaker Timrhu! Here are a few TIMELESS albums! From start to finish, they are fantastic...Chris Matthew Sweet / Girlfriend Ryan Adams / Heart Breaker and Love is Hell.. I am tied! Beastie Boys / Paul's Bo... 
Sony XA9000es/Sony DVP-NS999ES
An XA-777ES used here on Audiogon is hard to beat. I mainly use mine for Redbook with the occasional SACD and love it. I used to own a CARY CD-308. The XA-777ES beats it hands down for Redbook Playback. At least in my system anyway. Good Luck! Chris 
Budget bookshelf system for acoustic bass
08-05-05: Pabelson"There's no such thing as a monitor that goes down to 40 Hz."Actually you are mistaken. The Totem Mani-2 extends below 40Hz and is a Monitor. KiD 
Please compare the following headphones
The AKGs are very nice but I must say, if you can swing it, purchase the Sennheiser HD600s. I use mine with my iPod through the Headphone Section of my Cary SLI-80 and love them.I have owned AKG's, Grados, and BeyerDynamics but the HD600s are real...
