Who has heard the new Avalon's?
Thanks Shubertmanic for your accessment on the new Avalon.I have the BAT VK 200 SS and BAT 30 tube preamp which should work well with the Ascendant. I realize spectral is proably in another league butI will get to listen to them in my setup. Thank... 
Upgrading from Tyler Ref Monitors
I own the Linbrooks and they are outstanding. The Avalons you have listed are in another class and I would love to own these. However I am completely happy with the Linbrooks and would rather spend my money on music than different speakers.

David,Thanks for your response. I use a BAT 300x with 150 watt @ 8 ohms & 300 @ 4 ohms. I would assume that would be enough power for the 3.6's? 
Chesky Audio C-1 - Who has heard them?
I use a BAT integrated and my CDP is fully balanced (Electrompaniet) when I purchased a XLR balanced IC for my CDP it dramaticily increased the volume level, so 35 -50B is my normal listening level. I will occasionally listen at a high level like ... 
Chesky Audio C-1 - Who has heard them?
Thanks for your responses. This will be a speaker I will strongly consider. My listening room is 29 x 17 with the speakers on the shorter wall, would the C-1 get lost in this size room? I normally listen around 35db - 50 db jazz, classical, rock a...

Review: Ridge Street Audio Midnight Silver Edition Interconnect
Three weeks ago I had never heard of Ridge Street Audio but was very interested after reading the above comments and checking out their web site. I now have had Ridge Street Audio Midnight silver's i/c's in my system for 1 week and they are every ... 
Plinius 8200 MkII -- best integrated ss amp?
You need to check out the BAT 300x. You can have the best of both world's with their hybrid models with the tube being in the preamp section. I did hear the BAT with JM labs speakers (don't know the model) and it sounded great. I compared the BAT ... 
Pathos Logos vs BAT 300X
I have not heard the Logos but I have owned a BAT 300x for 1 month and it is a keeper in my system. I was looking for a 1 box solution and the BAT is one of the best out there. The BAT replaced a ARC VT 100 mk2 & LS 25 and I have not been disa... 
Integrated Amp comparison
I own the BAT 300x and love it. I compared the BAT vs. Rowland and like the BAT in my system better. Both products are great and most will be very happy with either. 
What preamp?
Subaruguru,What is involved in this mod? How much? what amp are you using? 
Time coherence - how important and what speakers?
I have owned a couple pairs of Vandersteens in the past and I thought they were great but now own a pair of Tyler Acoustics Lynbrook monitors and they are the best speaker I have ever heard under $10,000 and I have listened to most big name models... 
Electrocompaniet owners
Thanks for all the replies on Electrocompaniet equipment. It seem that there are to many complaints about customer service to be ignored. This says alot about the company. It looks like I will look elsewhere to upgrade my system. Again thanks.
