Martin Logan Scenarios Proper Position?
Why not call Martin Logan and ask them? Also, speaker placement is the single most important factor in getting excellent sound!(and the reason so many people, even with the best equip you can buy, have systems with poor sound quality unfortunately... 
Problem with FedEx Ground Shipping?
My experiences thus far has been that of no damed goods in dozens of audio shipments from Fed EX Express. I've had lot's of dammage claims however from UPS (in over 100 packages shipped) while I've only recently started shipping fed ex ground, I'v... 
Magnum or Fanfare Tuner. Which Sounds the Best?
you should try the Creek t43 some time. It's easily as good as the above, and retails for a paultry $700...used around $400 or less. Best tuner I ever heard for under several $K. Good luck 
What do you think about Audioquest Volcano?
I think it's very good. probably not the weak link in most peoples systems. It's very similar in sound/performance to that of somehting like the Harmonic cables Pro cables or Acoustic Zen Satori shotgun. It's detailed, clear, and dynamic enough, t... 
Classe ssp 75 vs lex MC 12 Balanced
The Classe is still better sonically all around, for sure. The lex has goten better musically, but still not quite the audiophile experience you'll get from a Classe. If you have to have 7 channel full nuts home theater, with EQ's, crossover flexi... 
Power amplifier for NHT 2.5i speakers?
How much to spend???..alway's a factor. My suggestion on those speakers is to "biamp"! They are set up well for that I belive...at least the 3.3's and 2.9's were. You'll get much much much stronger, more dynamic transparency, slam, control, and mo... 
What Speaker Cable for VIENNA MOZARTS
what budget?...also, what gear are you using? There's about a gillion different recommendations to be made at any given budget!!!...used or new!perhaps you could clarify your sytem and budget! 
Newbie needing experts' advice
Wow, that is a tough one. It's funny, and I gotta laugh, but I hear so many people tell me that they got all this gear, and then they decide to get the speakers last!!! They get the speakers as a last thought it seems!...which is totally backwards... 
Looking for an amp for my Proac 1.5's.
If you're looking into solid state used gear, and are looking at Threshold, you want to look at the older T-100/200/400 series stuff! Actually,those speakers (I like) would do better with at least T200 or above! They run a good percentage in to cl... 
Good pre-amps for M.Levinson/ Extrema ?
I've owned both the Electa Amators and Minima Amators, and find them to all work best with solid state all the way through! The Extrema's should be no exception. I used to use some Audio Research higher end tube pre's with my system, as well as Au... 
Replace B&W CDM2 with Aerial 5 for HT?
You know, neither of those speakers are really dynamic with HT period! the Aerials are even lower sensitivity/more anemic dynamically! Of all the speakers you just mentioned, unless you have a small room, I'd sell the the others, and do 3 CC3's if... 
The big audiophile dilem
Well, I've plenty of experience with the JM labs stuff, and know the sound of the YBA gear as well. MY suggestion would be to go with some Harmonic Pro 11 or 9 wires, if you can spend the money they command. At that price, there's nothing that com... 
Bi-wiring with NHT 3.3
Yeah, with those speakers, it's a teensy weensy bit better with bi-wire, as they like the bi-wire for some reason (some don't). Iv'e tried em both way's, and the bi-wire works. Actually, on those speakers, the hot ticket is "bi-amping"!!! If you c... 
Need speaker cables for Aerial 10T's
Harmonic Tech Pro 11 or Pro 9's for the money on those can't be beat! I used to play around with all the Transparent stuff, and found these HT's for the money to be unbeatable. good luck 
HT Preamp INTEGRATED with 2 channel PRE?????
Actually, I've done a number of 2/5 channel combo set-ups in my system. You can use some of the newer more current tube preamps with "processor bypass" (i.e, Audio research LS16 or Sonic Frontiers LIne 1, or similar), and simply loop the 2 channel...
