Which ohm speaker to choose?
I'm in NYC too - I just drove out to Bklyn and picked them up myself. They don't demo, they only sell direct - they believe in letting you check them out in your home, with your gear.I'd have you over to my place, but I'm finishing up a renovation...

Which ohm speaker to choose?
I'm not familiar with the old models, but I have a newer pair. From what I've read, the new ones are much improved. The model to choose is largely dependent on room size. Best to call them and ask. 
Need Help: Integrated 'Tube' Amplifier for Arros

Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please
Hey Rebbi - Nice score with the Unico - I had a feeling that would be a good match for you. Glad to hear that the Arros are working out, sound like they have a lot more breaking in to do. By the time they loosen up, you'll probably find the sweet ... 
how do they do it? 4tc vs Clear Oval
Thanks for the replies - Yes, I'm keeping the clear ovals for a little while so I can check my initial impressions. I've never heard much difference with interconnects, but with speaker cables it's been more noticeable...

Ok then. I was thinking you were so enraptured in beautiful music, that you forgot to report back... I just made some changes to my system, so I'm also in new toy mode... Have fun with it!

Hey Rebbi -how are the Totems working out?! 
"Budget" cable advice, please
I just received a shipment of coax, optical and HDMI cables from Blue Jeans Cable. Nice service - they didn't try selling me something I didn't need (they suggested the less expensive HDMI cables).

Optical to Coax converter
The monarchy looks good - I also found one from Audio Authority that automatically switches - will this affect anything, soundwise?http://www.audioauthority.com/product_details/1177A/Digital_Audio/5/1) 
Integrated amp with phono section for Totem Arro
The PS should be fine - like Dave said, sit with it for a while. Get used to the speakers, let them break in...I would not suggest going crazy on cables, but after a while look into a solid state Naim Nait or a Unison Reasearch hybrid. Otherwise, ...

Mapman,I feel the same way about my Ohms - I recently checked out some speakers after not being in a stereo store in a long time (or hi-fi show for that matter) - I still don't think I can ever go back to conventional speakers again (I've had my O...

I've heard a few of the Naim label recordings with just a stereo pair of mics. Some performances come out nice, but many of them had muddy balances between instruments, or were just swimming in natural reverb... I like minimally mic'd drums, but r...

Rebbi, a lot of good advice here. Mapman, I see that I missed out on the Ohm threads... Let us know what you think of the Arros!
