| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Just a thought here... I manufacture products aimed at engineers and they're right straight from the box. It doesn't make sense that a manufacturer would make a product that you have to "burn in" before it sounds good. Why wouldn't the manufacture... | |

| Recommended Preamp for pairing an Adcom 555II Amp and Theil CS 3.5 speakers I have a pair of 555 Mk2's driving a pair of Kef 107's and I use a Cary SLP03 with them. I replaced an Adcom GTP760 with the Cary and there's just no going back. You can find this pre amp for around $1000. | |

I rewired demo rooms at a store I worked at years ago in order to accommodate the higher end... | |

| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? I just picked up a pair of Kef 107.2's for $1400 and they're pretty damn good! These have had the driver's surrounds replaced and crossovers serviced so they're in pretty good shape, you could probably find a similar pair. I've also got a coupl... | |
