Media Room Construction
I would fill out the consultation form on the Rives website and fill it in. It will give them a good idea of what to expect from the room, and make the discussion of prices much more accurate.Plus, it doesn't cost you anything. 
Anybody else bothered by $8call.00
For those few companies that actually allow internet sales (Von Schweikert, PS Audio, etc.) most of them require that the dealer advertise the MSRP of the product and NOT the selling price. This helps to avoid price wars, etc.Anyway, that's the te... 
Explain this to me like I'm a 5-Year Old: Matching
Interesting link. 
Hi Fi burnout.
Funny you should mention that... I'm taking up golf right now...Anyway, what was it about the TAD-150 that you like with the Vandies? I'm looking for a good preamp right now. 
The Show vs. C.E.S. vs Home Entertainment
If you can get a press pass you get a LOT of free stuff that you wouldn't get otherwise. At least, that was my experience last year, as an editor of a paper my uncle works for... 
Hi Fi burnout.
It sounds like your friend got caught up chasing somebody else's ideals, if you ask me. I mean, to the point of cutting out measurements to show how well his speakers perform? It sounds like a case of lost priorities more than hifi burnout.If you ... 
For those interested in the PrimaLuna Prologue One
What's the rest of the system that the PrimaLuna is in, and what did it replace in that system? 
VPI turntable again......
***Get a Verdier(the one with the magnet) or any high quality air bearing turntable and you will understand what I mean....my little grasshopper.***Buy a Sirius III and you'll never listen to anything else. See? We can all make stupid overgenerali... 
where to find Pachelbel"s canon?
Pachelbel's Canon can be found playing on repeat in the darkest pits of hell. Oh, and it's being played by 10-year-old violin students.The horror... (too many years of violin lessons for me) 
Prima Luna Owners
I'll join the list of interested parties. Hi-Fi News also reported that Prima Luna was working on budget tube-based separates. Has there been any news on these? They were supposed to be done before the end of the summer...The difficult part about ... 
Great buys on new blues vinyl
Good find-- there are a couple of albums there that I'm interested in, and the prices are just right. 
Vandersteen 2 ce vs. B&W N 804, Any opinions?
Even being quite the fan of Vandersteen speakers, I'd have a hard time recommending them in your situation. As Sdcampbell noted, the rear driver will be very close to the wall, and it just seems to me that the bass would overpower the midrange in ... 
hi I'm italian
The major problem here is that most Italian rooms are very "lively" rooms, to say the least. Plaster walls and tile floors.Comunque, suggerisco che ascolti alcune diverse marche, tranne Sonus Faber, Opera, e alcune altre marche europee. Siccome so... 
Vandersteen 5a. How refined a product are they
Heck, I've heard the 5A sound like absolute magic, and then sound like absolute crap in the same room. Same equipment, too. The difference? The dealer had to move them farther back to make room for other equipment. They still sounded pretty good, ... 
will nad c350 drive low impedance?
As long as they are 4 ohm nominal, you shouldn't have a problem. And to better put your mind to rest, my old dealer mixed NAD with Totem and never had a single problem with overheating or shutting down, and he liked to listen LOUD.
