To cryo or not to cryo BPT has referred me to Cryo Nebraska, a firm that gives us a discount. They charge by the pound, believe it or not. I wouldn't be doing this on my own	83
Gallo REfF3's-All their cracked up to be? How much power do they need? I'm thinking of getting either a Manley Stingray or a Krell 400xi integrated amp. Would the Manley tube piece be enough? The lit says they can . . .	72

McIntosh Mx130 question Thanks so far all! I think it's an MC7108. Don't know anything about it, but it's my girlfriend's, so it's part of a package deal (the girl and the stereo!) any ideas or . . .	9
Biamping Questions Thanks so far, folks. I've read in reviews that one great way to run the Arcam AVR 307 (7 X 100) with a 5.1 A/V set up is to use the two extra amp channels to biamp the two . . .	9

Primaluna - seeking opinion from any owners I recently received my Primaluna Dialogue 2 from Upscale Audio. I had been listening with a Cary SLi-80 Signature, and I honestly prefer the new PrimaLuna. It's incredibly dynamic. . .	7

Martin Logan Spires or Magnepan 3.7? Thanks, Paul. I love the Spires, and I recall loving the Mags; I wasn't worried about the Spires bass, but more about the Mag's. I'm in toledo, ohio,alas. What kind of mods are . . .	6
