JPS Labs makes a power center at three levels the highest is a Kaptovator outlet center which is very pricey, the middle is a power center (I think) and the lowest is a GPA power center. They are essentially high quality outlet strips with an inte... | |
| Good speaker match for Krell/Naim? I am not a fan of Krell but enjoyed hearing one of their amps with Avalon speakers. You may want to explore that option or go with the classic pairing of Wilson and Krell...-Vik | |

| Best imaging stand mounted speakers? Imaging wise I loved the MErlin TSM-m and the speaker I purchased the Dynaudio 1.3se. the key to both these speakers, leed though with the Merlin, is placement. Moving the speaker foward and back will make a HUGE difference in the sound. You have ... | |
| B&W Nautilus 802 B&K would be a nice choice but if you already liek the tone of the B&W I woudl go with he Bryston Pre/Pro combo. Sonically the sound of stereo sources will be better with the Bryston and its full analog bypass. In addition HT duties will n... | |
