Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass?
Madfloyd,Don't bother changing your excellent amps, I used Citadels on my WP7's and Maxx2, and they are not lean, I did however find my older MIT cables output more low bass and sacrificed some of the upper mid bass (but that was 8 years ago and I... 
Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis
Alectiong: If you have Lamm ML2.1's the Maxx 3's are much easier to drive than the Maxx 2's I owned the Maxx 2's and now have Max 3's. My Lamm ML2.1's didn't cut it on my Maxx 2's, but they work much easier with the Maxx 3's. Drag your Lamm's to a... 
Jolida JD9A or Dynavector P75 phono stage?
Dynavector P75 is a bargain for the performance level and works great with low output MC and even better with Dynavector Carts with the Enhanced mode! 
Wilson MAXX II Bi amp question.
The bass unit has resisters in it on the bottom that are in line also. EricJcabrera: "Correct Warranty will be voided"They are not designed for Bi-amp, sell both amps and all associated cabling and buy a single better amp/monoblocks and simplify! 
Has anyone owned both P500 & hydra 8 / guardian
I've owned the PS300, PS Premier also, but the Hydra is a more natural bigger soundstage (romantic), the Powerplants give you more dynamics, and if you put an amplifier on it does choke it a little, depending on the power requirements for the amp.... 
Wilson Sophia 2's on Marantz Reference
What people are missing here is the Sophia is a much more forgiving speaker for your upstream gear. Easier to drive and easier to match. Based on looking at your current system I would keep your Transparent Cabling and your ARC CD3 player (skip th...

Hi Wilson W/P8 owners, best amp ever to drive WP8?
almost everything will have less control than your Krell in the bass department.. so expect a sacrifice.2 options.... Get a tube preamp and flavor the krell that wayor Theta Citadel's work amazing with the WP8's, and have tremendous bass control. ...

JL Audio f112 blown speaker?
sounds like a burnt voice coil, are you rolling off all your bass off your main speakers and your LFE to the single sub? This can sometime overwhelm a sub depending on the crossover level, plus gaming runs the sub continuously versus a movie.Do yo... 
Best speaker under $1K...... used market
Keep your PSB Golds if you like the bass, otherwise I prefer think Magnepan 1.6 are a bargain in the price range but need to be 3' away from the back wall.Spend the money instead on your front end, as your CDP is very very long in the tooth! 
Carver Lightstar Direct Passive Vs Adcom GFP-750
I had a placette passive and the adcom GFP-750, and the Placette was much more transparent and the volume control wasn't noisy like the Adcom. I was very disappointed by the GFP-750 with all the incredible reviews, including one of my best audio b... 
Lamm + Wadia. A Good match?
Rtn: thanks for the detailed spec so it definitely can match up based on that.Bgn007: Using a premamp you don't have to worry about the jumpering as much because preamps are usually designed to take from 2volt to sometimes 10volts depending on the...

McIntosh MA 6500 reliability etc....
If you are going to power Magnepans, forgot the 6500 and get something with more 4ohm power. My friends 6900 barely (the speakers never opened up) powered Magnepan 1.6's.
