| Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr. VMPS ribbon monitors may be the best choice. The speed and naturalism with acoustic instruments must be heard to be believed.

| which amp should i get another marsh, aragon, eAR Sounds to me like you either have a room mode situation(common) or may prefer a different speaker. Unless those qualities you're talking about are infintesimally off for your taste, you need possibly room treatment or different speakers. Try speak... | |
| Subwoofer choice with B&W 805 Signatures? VMPS subs do music excellently. Have received many great reviews both for speakers and subs as price is also excellent for what you get. For a grand you could have bass that rivals 3k subs. Check out the VMPS forum at audiocircle.com if you want t... | |
| Which of These Budget SS Preamps? Unless you've already tried a tube preamp now may be a good time to check on out. An Audio Research is what I'd recommend. You may find out you love it. Tube pre's need only tube changes every couple of years, other than that they're turnkey and t... | |

| McIntosh solid state amps, left on at all times ? Heat is the amplifier's enemy and would have to shorten the life. It takes so little time to warm up I don't understand why people worry about it. Also if your amp sounds so much different from warming it up for a little while compared to being le... | |

| Best Tube Preamp for JC-1 Monoblocks? Try an Audio Research they don't give up much at all of dynamics and many tubofiles consider them too SS sounding. I think it's a match made in heaven. |
