Affordable Power Cords
Hi Draudio/Rick,I'd like a Power Three for Christmas.Thanks,Mike 
same cables
Texron,It might help to know what components you have. I like using a combination of silver and copper. For example, in my 2 channel system, I'm using silver IC's and copper speaker cables. In my HT system, I'm running all silver cabling. 
James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all
Muralman,Those are very interesting ribbon speaker cables. I'm inclined to build a set myself to hear how they would sound with my set-up. I'll email you off-line. 
Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll
You're doing yourself a disservice by not including Klipsch on your shortlist. Many models can easily be had below your budget. 
Preamp/amp far superior to just int. amp.?
I recently went from a Plinius 8100 integrated to separates (Tube Technology tube preamp and Stan Warren SS amp). This combination was less than the Plinius and it sounds better. I really like the tube preamp and ss amp combination.I think you hav... 
Tube amp location
Email sent to you. 
Moving away from tubes. Is this a good idea?
I'm going to second Lak's recommendation of Plinius to get that tube-like sound. I owned a Plinius 8100 and loved the warm, smooth sound. 
How much money for your next interconnect cable???
Mrtennis,I think Audio Magic did something like that:http://www.soundstage.com/rise15.htm 
Horn Speakers
Ecruz,I think it's pretty safe to say, that all (Cornwall, Chorus, Forte, etc.) are going to be a great choice. It just boils down to which one you like the best. Hearing each one or as many as you can would be the best situation to buy from. 
Horn Speakers
Ecruz,Some really great sounding Klipsch are well within your budget. You'll even have enough money left over to upgrade the xover networks. Consider the Chorus, Forte, and Legend series from Klipsch. None of them will run you over $1K. Another $2... 
Review: Audio Magic Stealth XXX AC filter
Thanks for the review and congrats on a very nice power conditioner. I have a fully tricked out AM Matrix and my observations were right in-line with yours. It was a real eye-opener to have more details, clarity, and naturalness to the music. Voic... 
Synergistic amps for Klipsch Cornwall speakers?
Tubes are going to be the best. If you go with SS, I would recommend Plinius very highly.And as always, upgrade those crossovers, you will not believe the sonic improvement that can be had just by replacing the original caps, resistors, iron-core ... 
efficiant speaker with good bass?
Klipsch KLF-20 & 30's - probably the best rock & roll speakers Klipsch have made. 
ROTEL VS YAMAHA RXV1500
I've been very happy with my Sunfire amp and for the cost, I think it offers a tremendous value (used). I've heard/read really good things about B&K. These are two that come to mind that will not break the bank and offer 7 channel amps. I woul... 
ROTEL VS YAMAHA RXV1500
I'm sure that others will chime in but I think that Yamaha will do an excellent job with processing. I think you'll hear a nice difference by changing out that Adcom amp. A couple of reasons, better quality amplification (I'm not really an Adcom f...
