Advice on choosing speakers
the review pairs. They have all the prerequisites you're asking for and more. I've heard B&W speakers. It's no contest between those and the VMPS per dollar. The ribbon panels are lightning quick and smooth. They simply make most other speaker... 
I'm loooking for this system...
reason. The performance to dollar ratio is outstanding. Transients are lightening quick and with excellent clairty and dynamics. Certainly worth seeking a listen if at all possible. You can learn more on the VMPS forum at audiocircle.com. The othe... 
Where to place room treatment?
Realtraps.com has some good reading also. You'll be glad you treated your room. The bang per buck on the improved quality is very good. The sound quality is so much better you'll wonder what you were waiting for. I did. 
Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music
can be used for sub duty. They are better than most of the plate amps that come with subs too. Like I said earlier the VMPS larger for 300 and you're done. You won't be wanting in bass quality or bass power. There's a reason they've sold thousands... 
Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music
You will need an amp for it but for a couple of hundred you can get a used amp that would work for a sub. An Adcom 545 bridged would be perfect. You should check it out. The VMPS sub is very musical and plays down to 17hz. They aren't called the "... 
what speakers for 4k or less new or used
Alot of good recommendations, I'll add VMPS RM 40's, an outstanding speaker for the money. You really need to listen to these as they all sound different. Some people love planars and some people can't live with them and must have cones. The only ... 
Rotel, Odyssey, or Classe with N805's
Going to the Stratos wouldn't be much of a difference. I'd try the Classe myself. Have you considered using a tube preamp, that may help alot with the music you like. Tube pre's are easy to use as they only require a few tubes every couple of year... 
A question for JC-1 owners...
If you have any doubts you can try the AA cord. Go to audioasylum and do a search on it. You can make them yourself. I used Marinco IEC's as they are much easier to work with. Personally I doubt if anybody can hear a difference, at least I'm sure ... 
Tube rolling ARC amps & Steelhead
Most people who have rolled tubes know there's certainly different and possibly better sounds. I've had such bad luck with NOS that I gave up and then my favorite was the current Ei Elite 6dj8's til after a couple of weeks a tube shorted out so I ... 
i need a power conditioner. monster?
Powervar or Oneac, both commercial power conditioners that actually do what they are designed to and can be had for cheap on Ebay or here. Used for hospitals labs or wherever microelectronics need to have clean power. Go to Powervar's website and ... 
Help me choose
You'd never notice the power difference between those two amps. It takes double the power for a 3db level increase and 3db is just noticeable. That said I'd go with the Parasound not only because of the better reputation but because they are made ... 
Powervar 1200 - How good?
I'd estimate they are very good. They do what they are supposed to do and are well designed and built. Hospitals and other places that have labs with very touchy micro electronics use them. Some equipment manufacturers actually require you to buy ... 
amp for infiinity kappa 9
Oops, meant to say check out the ESL 300 for electrostatics. 
amp for infiinity kappa 9
electrostatics may do the job. At 300wpc it has plenty of power. Get ahold of ESL and see what they say. 
B&W 801 Matrix III...which amp to use??
The bigger Bryston,Parasound, Rotel or Marsh are all good choices. I heard these through a 200wpc Rotel and it sounded very good. As a matter of fact the salesman hooked up the same speakers with Krell amps and nobody could tell the difference bet...
