Min room size for Wilson Audio Sophia or WP8
Folks, any thoughts on a 14x14x8 room for the Sophia? I know, a square room is the work of the devil, but it's what I've got. I have room treatments already in place. 
What a better pre-amp Arc Ls-27 or Ref-3
Tmsorosk - How was the bass response on the LS27 vs. the Ref 3? As I said in a previous thread, I bought an LS26 and was disappointed by the poor bass extension and weight, so don't want to make that mistake again.

What do you feel you are you missing that you are looking to the Ref 3 to improve? Obviously you aren't getting everything you wanted from the LS27 or you wouldn't be asking. 
low bass on Audio Research LS27
Thanks folks. About the power amp being a key component, especially for bass management - I agree! That's why I have a Krell FPB400cx - 400 watts of Krell bass. What has been shocking is how big a change in the overall character of the sound the p... 
the natural sound of a cymbal
Nice answer rodman999! Spot on. (from one drummer to another!) 
Aerial 10T MK2 switch to active xover and/or more?
I've owned my 10T's for 10 years now, in 2 different rooms. Some original reviews hinted at a slight bit of bloat in the mid bass in the 10T's. I experienced that with when I used a big Classe amplifier, and the problem disappeared when I changed ... 
Anybody heard the new Aerial 7T?
I still have the 10T's I bought in 2000, and would love to hear a comparison with the nee 7t. 
Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27?
I owned an LS26. Lovely midrange,captivating overall sound, but anemic in the bass (extension and weight), so I sold it and went SS. I love the improved bass, but do miss that midrange magic. Does the LS27 improve in the bass area? I'd hate to was... 
Krell FPB 600 or 400cx?
The bad rap Krell got in t about being bright, sterile etc. pertained to the pre 'c' and especially 'cx' models. My 400cx is smooth & warm and still has that famous Krell slam and bass control. If you want slam and incredible lower bass extens... 
New Aerail 10T's
No, 300W is not too much. I drive my 10T's with a Krell FPB400cx. It's rated at 400W/per channel into 8 ohms, and measured 913W into 4 in a review. And I crank it. 
Krell KCT/FPB-300cx vs. Pass Labs X1/X250.0
Don't fault Krell for the troubles with their SACD player. Krell was one of several vendors, including Krell and Cary, to get burned with a faulty drive unit sourced from Phillips. Phillips hung the vendors out to dry and discontinued it without e... 
Carver sonic holography
I'll fess up. I still have a Carver Sonic Hollogram Generator (stand alone unit that goes in the tape loop). When engaged, the bottom end loses some definition, but the dramatically expanded (wider and deeper) sound stage is a guilty pleasure that... 
Aerial 10T's - Temporary Solution
Correction to my last post - my Classe amp was a CA301. 
Aerial 10T's - Temporary Solution
I used a Classe ca300 on my 10T's for several years (I still have the 10T's today). Sounded pretty good, when it was working. The bought new amp broke down completely twice within 3 years. The first time Classe returned if after factory repair the... 
SLP-05, REF3, LS26, Mac C2300
I owned the LS26. I loved the midband - voices were magical. But I like a weighty, deep-reaching low bass, and the LS26 is audibly light in the low bass. The entry-level VTL 2.5 I had before, and the Krell KCT I replaced the LS26 with, went notabl...
