New Wadia stuff CES?
Hopefully this will lower the price of the 27ix on the used market so I can afford one. :) 
How much Power do speakers really use ???????
Thanks Sean. I'll see if I can audition some stuff in my area. 
Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII
Actually my Theta gear is pretty good right now. I was playing a Patricia Barber CD the other day and my wife walked in and said "It sounds like her concert we went to." It actually did sound pretty good, but then I think...could it sound better?

So it sounds like tubes are not the best for these speakers then? Sounds like a tube preamp and something like the Bryston 14BST is the better choice? I was thinking about getting the Theta Dreadnaught II as well, but that is only 250w. I don't pl... 
Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII
I got an email about a used one and it was for $3000. I'd prefer to buy it new at that price. If anyone is interested though the person responded to my wanted ad for the Opus 21.I spoke to RA and they said the Opus 21 is back in stock in two weeks...

So it sounds like the Rogue 120's or perhaps a CJ Premier 12 or 8 is what I need then. Thanks.

Ok, I've got a question. I've got a pair of B&W 803's in a 12x20ft room. Moderately furnished. I play classical, jazz and hard rock almost about evenly. I like my music at concert levels some of the time and others loud enough so I have to say...

Thanks for the info Tireguy. I'll give him a call. I'll look around for information about on the Meitner too. 
Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII
Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm in the Portland Oregon area. Price isn't so much of a concern vs. just getting the best sound I can. I'd like to get my CD playback where I can live with it and then start working on SACD and vinyl. I plan on h... 
5 ch amp decision- opinions please
I use the Earthquake Cinenova Grande 5 Ch. amp. It has 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms and doubles to 600 at 4 ohms. The stats are great at .001% thd and 110 s/n ratio. These stats are comparable to the very high end stereo amps. It has five tot... 
REL strata III vs Spendor Sub 3, which to use with S3/5?
I am looking at the Storm III or the Stadium III. I would like to get 2 of them and hook them up in stereo right beside my 803N's. Are two Stadium's too much of a good thing? or even necessary? 
Anybody heard the ML Descent Sub?
How would the Descent compare to the Rel subs? Anyone heard both or a/b'd them? 
Speaker Placement - Vaulted Ceilings
Subaruguru, thanks for the response. I am relatively new to this....but can you describe what the "mess" sounded like? Or explain what "severe incoherence" is? With my pair of 803N's I can hear, for example, Patricia Barber's voice exactly in the ... 
What is a good online retailer for XRCD's, etc.
Thanks...I checked them all out and bought some discs. 
Conrad Johnson 17LS Stock Tubes
I looked at both of the websites. Upscale Audio seems to be limiting their "best" tubes to people that buy gear there (cookie jar). I'll call Andy Bowman at VTS on Monday. I think I will buy 4 of the Telefunkens and four of the Siemens, maybe even...
