| Mid-Fi Amp/Preamp for Martin Logans At your price range I can recommend for HT and 2 channel,to go for either ADCOM or B&K,very decent sound at that price.Or you can get a Conrad Johnson for 2 channel like the MF-200 MOSFET power for your 2 channel and use the ADCOM 5 channel fo... | |
| B W 802 Matrix III: Bright shrieky? I heard the N802s at Stereo exchange with Brystons driving them,and they sound great.I have the 802 IIIs,If I can afford it I would upgrade to the 802N but I'm very happy with the 802IIIs,and they sound great with tubes on top and S.S.on the botto... | |
| Whats better Nautilus 802 or 801 I had the oppurtunity to hear both speakers at Stereo Exchange,and while the N801s are beasts,they do sound much better in an open large area,but dont need as much power as the older 801s.They still need plenty of juice though.The N802s are easier... | |
| Upgrading to Tube; Amp or Preamp Try to get a PREMIER 3 by C.J.has a great phono stage.Otherwise try to get the PV-5.This would go good with a S.S. amp.Audible Illusions is also a good choice.good luck in your search. | |

| Audioquest Diamond Sound I have a pair of Diamonds and also the x2.My opinion is that these interconnects are a bit on the bright side,which is fine with me,i use a C.J. Premier pre and C.J. MOSFET power.I would not know how it would sound in balanced as I have it in RCA.... | |

| Passive bi-amping works ? I've done it with B&W 802 with tubes on top and solid state on the bottom,yes it can be done passively,and it eases the demands on the amps too.Make sure the preamp has 2 amp outputs. | |
| Best Speakers at Stereophile show I have to admit the HIRO monoblocks and preamp with the B&W 801 Natilius speakers were wonderful,but also the setup in the HARLEM room,Wisdoms with the VTLs and the other equipment was nice sounding but only a 5 minute listening session wasnt ... | |
| Help with tube amps I would go for,the C.J. MV-75 plenty of bang for the buck. | |
| Upgrade from Audioquest Lapis I would suggest like mostly everyone else to go to DIAMOND,I have the Diamond X-2,seems x-3 in RCA is hard to find,but X-2 is around and it's good and can be found at a fair price. | |
