Pre-amp for CJ Premier 12's?
I agree with Edwardb...the 16LS would do well with your 12's. The 14 quite simply would not do the 12's justice & the CAT SL MKIII would walk all over the 14. Another match made in heaven for the 12's is the Joule Electra LA-100 MKIII. It bett... 
A Tombstone in the Living room????
Hi David: I have 2 granite (1-1/4") slabs in my system. One under the CD player & the other under my tube amp. Does it make things sound better...Nope. It sure looks good though. Hope this helps. By the way, I paid $70 each at a stone place fo... 
Belle Klipsch VS La Scalla?
Hello: Back in the 70's I owned both the Cornwalls & the Belles. The Belle's are sonically very simular to the Lascala's (I believe they have the exact same drivers). To be quite honest I felt the Cornwall's were a much more musical speaker th... 
Need Advice on stand mounted speakers
Merlin TSM's would fit your bill. 
To tube or not to tube...
Hi 1439bhr: Don't be afraid to take the plunge into tube gear. In particular the tube preamps of today are highly reliable. The tubes will last anywhere from 2-5 years depending on use. In additon, Preamp tubes are relativly inexpensive ( about 20... 
demagnitizing CD s?
Cornfedboy: As far as I'm concerned your first post says it all. At one time I owned the Ultra Bedeni Clarifier "product of the year". Yeah right...it made absolutley no sonic improvement what so ever, plus the build quality was cheesy to say the ... 
Power Amp for Extrema S
Perfectimage. Does this mean that Franco Serblin is no longer involved with the company? I agree, I'm not real happy with Tweeter carrying their stuff, but mostly they demo the H/T line. In addition, as an owner of the original EA, I feel they too... 
Broken Glass on a McIntosh MC2505
I bought mine direct from McIntosh Labs. Be prepared to spend about $125. 
Power Amp for Extrema S
Perfectimage...Sonus was bought out? When & by whom? 
How to buy from Audiogon?
I don't know how much money your talking about, but if it's fairly substantial I would handle the transaction with C.O.D. payment terms. Cash up front to someone you don't know or doesn't have references is risky to say the least. C.O.D. is the fa... 
Upgrade Time Again.... please help
Eggpower...Why stay away from OTL's??? Please advise. 
Upgrade Time Again.... please help
O.K. Dan in that case, given your budget my vote goes to the Joule Electra OTL mono's. Both beautiful looking & sounding. I'm not sure about how they would mate with the 801's load. Generaly speaking you want above 6 ohm nominal. 
Upgrade Time Again.... please help
Wow Dan, that's quite a list. All sonically speaking are very different. If I had to stay within your selections, I would vote for the Lamm you can afford or the Wolcott. 
Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better?
Hey Gthirteen: Did see the Merlin VSM's for $1500 on this sight? I think that will give you everything your looking for at a great price. No sub needed & in IMHO betters the 805's by far. 
Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better?
O.K. I'm with ya Gthirteen...Your gonna think I'm crazy, but I actually like the way the CDM1SE's sound over the 805's. Of course even though I did listen to them the same day, they were in two different systems & rooms. 805's with Krell separ...
