Experience with Sistrum or Grand Prix Monaco rack?
Flex- a) I started a thread not long ago about Rix Rax vs. Grand prix, and the consensus was they just didn't like the idea of the support the shelf gets. I do like the isolation/absorbtion they offer but if you have an uneven load on the shelf it...

Experience with Sistrum or Grand Prix Monaco rack?
Frank- First off- Nice system! I have a few friends that use the same gear- I use a cap. II myself. One quick question- are you using the Steelhead? I know that it is a great analog piece but you would be better off running the cap. II into the te... 
Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R?
Speaking of High current has any one had the opportunity to try an Accuphase A/50V on a pair of maggies? I am curious what the results would be, only 50 watts but tons of current and the ability to drive the most demanding load with ease, hmmmmmmmm. 
magnepan 3.6
Danie1k141- Thanks for the clarification! I new the 20.1 used a push/pull type driver and I was unsure about what they meant! I am trying to arrange an audition on the 20.1's but the dealer in my area has never sold a pair of 3.6's let alone the 2... 
are there 2-ways that go down flat to around 40?
I forgot to mention the Merlin VSM and the Talon Raven both are great performing 2 ways that go pretty darn low- the merlin is to the mid 30's and the talon goes into the high 20's! 
magnepan 3.6
Both above posters are correct, some times people just get confused and make little errors when they make ads. The 3.6 has a true ribbon tweeter and a QR midrange driver- there are NO factory variations of the 3.6

My old avalons did- the model Eclipse went to high 30's in a two way sealed design. 
HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas
This does not surprise me much many of the international companies have policies like this- including Accuphase and audio aero. I guess electro. is the same way- its kind of a shame but I can't say I blame them. The way the fellow who was going to...

How do you store a whole lotta LP's?
I concur with albert's idea, not only does it look good but if put in the right part of the room it will help acoustics. To see this set up in action wander over to the virtual systems here at audiogon and go to the all out assault catagory and vi... 
Eidolon vs Opus
I have not heard the Kharmas yet, I have plans to do it very soon. I do have a fair amount of experience with Avalons(they were my last speakers), I always felt myself wanting something I just couldn't obtain with them, not to say they were bad I ...
