Speaker company :HHR exotic speakers
To resurrect an old thread, I would mention that German physiks makes a Walsh type driver out of carbon fiber that can play quite loud. To avoid over driving it they do cross it over at about 110 hz to a woofer. I own a pair and probably will stic...

With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
It seems from reading your post that you are looking for compact speaker's to be driven by a moderate power amp. If that is the casethere are a number ofmonitors people like. For floorstanders that might need more power I heard the new vienna acou... 
I know this is heresy, but...
The quad preamps have a "tilt" tone control that is very nice, and they are relatively inexpensive. They sound pretty good. 
MF Tri Vista or Nu Vista Amp or Pathos Logos
I own the tri-vista integrated amp and it is superb. I think it in some way it is better than the kw 500. I think the Nu vista is probably a little more "colored" but others may say the opposite is true. The Nu vista was also available as reasonab... 
The quality of sound of an integrated amp?
mdvualo, You have a very good system. Unless you want the convenience of an integrated I would reccomend you stay put. The portal and other integratedes are very good, but they won't sound much better, maybe different. If you want a different soun... 
confusion about the aragon 28k pre amp
I think the solid state qusd (909?) can be hsd for that price. It has the quad "tilt" and is a an excellent performer evn for its new price(golden ear award for what it worth in 2002) 
Integrated amp shutting down
Joeb,wher are you located. I might have some equipment you can borrow until yo're on your feet 
DarTZeel Preamp
The products that Jtinn represents always seem to provoke some sort of contreversy, and usually some vitriol. I remember when no one could dare suggest that tenor amps were not the best ever created. Not that I have any money, but I would certainl... 
"White noise hiss" through speakers.
This drives me crazy. It is something of which every component has a little. I would switch out the preamp and see if it goes away, otherwise it is the power amp, which I used to own and found very quiet. I once bought an ARC LS 15 pre which is we... 
Wife Acceptance Factor
My wife lets me buy anything I want. She just won't let me put anything in any room of "our house". She says she will unilt she sees it. Oh and no cables can be seen. She always love my stereo when we were single. 
GMA Europa owners use what amp?
I have used europas with a carver lightstar, aragon palladiums, and an MF trivista integrated, and they all worked well. The carver had the most bass, the MF was the most detailed, and the aragon was in between. I think they are pretty forgiving, ... 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Jtinn, You are right , you do comment on a lot of different products, and are generally ver fair. I apologize. 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Jtinn, Don't you think its a little ironic that you , who restricts 90% of your comments to positive remarks upon products in which you have a personal financial interest,accuse Sean, who has only demonstrated an allegiance to good sound, of being... 
Krell FPB 300cx enough to drive B&W Nautilus 801?
If money is no object buy the 400. The 300 is a great amp and will sound great. I doubt you will be disappointed
