Basic Repertoire
Pbb, you might be onto something. It doesn't have to limited to classical, though thats where it will probably do the most good. Perhaps we could solicit a "best recording of: ..... " thread. A discussion of parameters might be in order, so that a... 
Do You Understand Music?
I try my best to give everything a chance. I will listen to any and every thing through till the end. I will admit that there are some "categories" I find consistently challenging.I find most opera difficult. Perhaps the language barrier is to dis...

Dunlavy SC-IVa how best driven
Evo845 I believe the 150 watts max that I applied to the Dunlavy IV's came from Dunlavy's old web site. It was in context of recommended power not short term power capability. Yes the soundstage of the Dunlavys when set up right is huge. But my fr... 
Dunlavy SC-IVa how best driven
I had a friend drive a pair of IV's with a pair of B&K M200's. He then added a second pair of B&K M200's (all amps sent back to the factory for calibration). The differnece was startling. I know these speakers are 91 db efficent. I know th... 
Downsizing advice
I think you can down size and still go with seperates and still stay in your budget. I'm not that familiar with your gear but judging by your choices you might like the (all used) better C-J solid state seperates or the better Electrocompaniet int... 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
As perhaps the largest speaker manufacturer existant, it would make sense that some of B&W products would be marketed to the mid-fi(?) segment. That association does not necessarily bring down the quality of their more ambitious products. Ther... 
How long can Magnepan speaker last?
I am not nor have I ever been a Maggie owner. I almost did buy a new pair of 3A's a long time ago. I have admired all of the 3 series. Not that it was the reason I didn't purchase Magnaplanars, but I have heard that the ribbon tweeters while easy ... 
4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean.....
Of course your right Marakanetz. I don't want to belabor the point, but the key words here are "gross generalization" and "usually find". I must admit that I was unsure as to whether or not I should have made the previous post. In retrospect, perh... 
Is "Paypal "in legal trouble?
Looks like ebay is about to buy Paypal. 
4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean.....
I know that this is a gross generalization but I usually find that speakers with lower impedances have better bass. 
Is a Tube Amp Capable of High Current?
I don't think a 6 Ohm load will require that much current. 84 db's will require power though. A high power tube amp should fit the bill. Though a high power tube amp usually comes with a high bill. I'm not familiar with your speakers but a high po...

More losses. I will particulaly miss Ray Brown. 
Where to get chassis for monoblocks?
Sorry to get off topic but, have you any plans for a line stage? I have no technical ability, but a simple idea that might work?
