| EAD 8800 Silver or Black? Balanced vs. non I had both the silver and the black EAD Signatures matched with the PM2000. If the components are in direct view of the screen the Silver can distract slightly day or night, but they are quite nice to look at. I prefer the Silver in my case. It's ... | |

| What does it sound like to over drive my maggies? The sound of wires delaminating from the Mylar usually can be heard with deep bass notes.If you place your ear close to the panel you should be able to isolate the location. I have in fact felt the area in which the buzzing came from and with a li... | |
| Amp for NHT 2.9's I would look for something like a Classe CA200 or CA300. Overall I thought Classe/NHT had the best match. There are others, but for the $$ I'd go there. Also look for Cardas cables and or Kimber 8TC.Good luck. | |
| Audible Illusions Modulus 3A problems I do not think this this will help, but I heard that AI3A's built prior to moving to the Swiss made attenuators had more of a problem with the noise you indicate. I heard in the beginning of the stepped attenuator introduction there were problems ... | |
| No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done? F7,Given your listen taste are geared toward Jazz and female vocals there is hope although not cheap...I currently run my 3.6R with VTL 225's that run in Class A Triode mode only. Midrange and highs are very sweet with plenty of air. Although thes... | |
| Where are your maggies?? First off congradulations on owning a fine speaker.Second did you buy these new or used? They need at least 200-300 hrs to break in.To tame the tweeter a bit while breaking-in try a simply fix of using some copper wire replacing the metal jumpers ... | |
| M. Logan Requests- Tube Suggestions in $1.5-2K?? I have to second Mejames suggestion of the VTL 225 that are currently listed for $2200. The other VTL 225's listed for $999 may be bogus since I have not heard back from the seller after several attempts myself.Also they are still not marked as so... | |
| Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R? I have had my 3.6R for about 5 months now. I was running them with an EAD Powermaster 2000 which on the books stated that it delivered 700 watts/4ohms. Matched with my EAD Signature it was truly a nice set up for both HT and two channel listening.... | |
| Anyone ever have claims for damage with UPS? I once recieve a claim from UPS on a pair NHT speakers that were shipped to me. The corner of the orignal box where the speakers were damaged was severely crushed. This was more obvious then most cases and the claim was handled well by UPS, but it... | |

| "Kid A" I have been a long time fan of Radiohead. It took some time to get into 'Kid A' after OK computer and the Bends CD's. Even more time for 'Amnesiac', but I fine Thom Yorke style interesting. You kind of have to listen to the whole CD and be in the ... | |
| EAD DVD-Master 8000 See review in SGHT just came out in Nov 2002. Very positive review.I however will stay with my EAD TM sig for now. | |
| EAD DVD-Master 8000 FYI,I have not heard a thing about either the Pro8000 TheaterMaster or the DVD master. I just found out that EAD has come out with a fully balance 10 channel Processor called the "Studio master""The new EAD TheaterMaster Studio preamp/processor is... | |
| which amp is the best for 2 channel and HT? For $3000 the ML 333 is a great amp. I assume you are talking about a two channel amp and including the Theta as a two channel amp given the price range. A friend has the Pass labs X250, but I have not been over to listen to it.I currently have th... |
