Static noise from right speaker
Does the hiss vary with the volume control?. Also when you swapped Ic's did you do it at 1 end only? May want to try swapping the entire cables from 1 side to the other. Try swapping speaker cables next  
Cable length dilemma!
The worst part is if you ever want to sell the cables.  
Rogue Cronus Magnum (hum/noise)
When I owned an Octave V70se and later a V110 there was absolutely no transformer hum or anything through the speakers at any volume. I did have a Naim XP5XS power supply that had a transformer but nothing through the speakers.  
Hum in speakers
How old are the amps and is the hum a new problem? 
Hum in speakers
With the Amps just plugged into the speakers the hum is still there Is the preamp disconnected or just turned off? If off disconnect the preamp at the amp end. Also is the hum coming out of both speakers? Does the hum occur all the time? Which am... 
Marantz 2230 to subwoofer ?
You would need to find a sub with 'high level' input to connect to the speaker terminals. 
Subwoofer doubts: crossover setting for 60hz speakers
IMHO, the main reason so many people have issues integrating subs into their system is that they try to cross them over WAY too high. If your -3dB point of your speakers is 60 Hz, I'd begin experimenting with a sub crossover point of 0.7 x 60 ... 
Monitors for Pass Labs 60 INT
I felt that the amp was too warm and not fast enough for the x1. they craved speed. I haven't tried the c1.1s. not sure if those will be any different. The C1.1/D1's will be very much like the X1's but with a bit more low end. Dynaudio C1's co... 
Looking for NEW amp...would a Bryston 3Bsst output more power than a Krell 400xi amp?
PS. Is there a huge difference in sound between the Bryston 3Bsst and 4Bsst?I believe the 4Bsst would have double the power of the 3Bsst (150 vs 300W). You will notice a hair more ’control’ in the music with the 4Bsst. But nothing earth shatterin... 
Raidho D3 vs Magico Q3
@folkfreak - Nice article. Funny he mentioned Robert in the comments. I met him at Le Roy's after he got the D5's (I helped install Le Roy's D5's and Soulution). We tried to get Robert to compare the Q7's to the D5's but he didn't because the one ... 
Raidho D3 vs Magico Q3
Both are excellent speakers. Both also sound best when set up properly and driven with good electronics. I'll admit I've only heard the Magico's at shows (not the most ideal rooms). The Magico's never drew me into the music but have excellent deta... 
Best KT88s (specifically for VAC Auricle Musiblocs)
If you’re considering KT90’s look for the Ei KT90 Type II. They don’t come up often but when they do they are a bargain IMO. Tough as nails with mids similar to El34’s but with more sparkly highs and tighter lows. I found the sound stage improved ... 
Dynaudio's best sounding bookshelf between $500-1000
sunnyjim - The 2/6 2/7 line was the entry level 'DM' series which has been recently replaced with the Emit series. Excite series model 12 is discontinued while the 14 - 18 - 34 - 38 and 44 is current. The model 110 is a much older Focus line. Now ... 
Scansonic mb serie
davegoodrich - That's a pretty large room. You may be better off with MB3.5's or the new MB6. I asked my dealer which models he is going to have at Axpona and I can't see him bringing that much with him. He wants to bring MB1's - 2.5's - 3.5's and... 
Scansonic mb serie
Davegoodrich - My local dealer will be at Axpona showing Raidho. I'll ask if he will demo Scansonic 2.5's again like last year. Have a gut feeling he'll want to show the MB6's and Raidho's new Dx.1 series.
