Would like to start a Stereo Club in the midwest.
What is ironic is I think this concept would work better with interconnect, speaker cables, and power cords as long as certain parameters were abided by as lengths go. The advantage of cables is that they do not degrade (and actually sound better ...

Are you talking about a P9? If not... what is a P0?KF

An important item you did not address (in your answer to my post) is an important issue. What happens if no one wants a particular gear? Who is responsible for selling the piece, and who determines how much money the piece will be sold for? All I ... 
are there 2-ways that go down flat to around 40?
40hz is not that tough to get +/- 3db to. 30hz is significantly harder. There are quite a few two way speakers that will go down flat to 40hz. The real trick is to have the electronics that will drive the speaker well down in the lower frequencies...

I'd look at a Bryston 9BST.They can be had relatively new for around $2500 or so.Not only do the Brystons sound pretty good, they are also bullet proof with the best warranty (20 years) in audio.KF

If you can make this work... More power to you!I doubt it feasible. There are too many variables in this equation. And when you start playing with serious money aka thousands of dollars, an amount of accountability comes into play.Ask yourself the...

I'd like to get a tube preamp recomendation
Ayre K-3x preamp with phono pre built in.Why go tubes when this preamp would match your system perfectly? Not to mention it is an insanely good preamp.KF 
HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas
Subaruguru,I think it is time you give up on that player and Electrocompaniet in general. Any company that has policies such as this is asking for trouble. What is kinda amusing is that I am told in Scandanavian countries Electrocompaniet is reall... 
The triumph of mid-fi
Ozfly, the main problem is that even if most of the smaller and mid sized hi end manufacturers banded together, they really have little insintive in developing a new medium. Nothing compared to the insintive that Sony has... Sony controls all aspe... 
Help with pre/pro for Krell/B&K/Martin Logans
I would consider an Anthem AVM20 or a Bryston HT 1.7 preamp/processor used. They may set you back a little more than $2k (not much more though, negotiate hard right now it is a buyers market). Both of these preamp/processors do a good job with 2 c... 
The triumph of mid-fi
I agree with Vik.Sony and Phillips are HUGE companies with mega R&D budgets. These companies want to dominate the mass market (where the money is), and even certain high end markets. Just because Sony does not necessarilly make a world class p...
