Vandersteen 5A's Internal crossovers/batteries
I think the Advanced Lithium 9V Battery is the only one they make. Are you sure you're not looking at the rechargeable 9V battery? Also, if I remember correctly, you have to soldier the batteries. They don't just plug in. 
WILSON CUB 2 VS B&W 803D
I forgot to put in my first post, if you go with the Wilson's, you need to make sure your equipment will work with them. They're very efficient and are susceptible gain related noise or hiss. It doesn't really matter how expensive or good your equ... 
Beware How I was ripped off
"01-29-15: SchipoDkarmeli that story just sounds to fishy to my ears...If what you say is true? All of us would be purchasing 25k speaker systems, and putting in false claims while burning the candle at both ends keeping the gear and cash...there'... 
Audio research mod

Beware How I was ripped off
Dkarmeli,That's incredible. Reading your post, it looks like you are in Canada. I don't know what the laws are there, but if you were in the US, you could go after paypal, and possible recover some, if not all of your money. At the very least, you... 
WILSON CUB 2 VS B&W 803D
I have a pair of Cubs in my 2nd system, and I used to have the 802D's, but only for a few months. The B&W's can do a little more, but I still prefer the CUBs. I wouldn't use the MF amp with either one of those speakers, though. Not a good matc... 
Beware How I was ripped off
Wiring money is very risky. There's almost no protection if something goes wrong. Its not something that can be undone."01-29-15: PmotzTruly sad, but don't assume PayPal will cover you. I got ripped off by someone a few years back and used PayPal....

"01-27-15: AudiolabyrinthHi Zd542, Do you remeber the Krell kps 25sc?,"Yes, I do remember it. But, to be completely honest, I never liked Krell Digital. It was definitely built well and looked amazing, but I just didn't care for the sound. I just ... 
is there an audiophile war going on
Tom32,Its good to see that you're using brain instead of some silly meter. Its not too hard to figure out you can't measure things like timbre. Most EE's pretend that stuff like that doesn't exist. You're way ahead of most of your peers. We need m...
