Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
I have the Harman Kardon Citation XX and the X-II Preamp. I'm the 2nd owner. It was a gift From Sidney Harmon to The North American Sales Manager from whom I acquired them from. I thought it was hype but after hooking them up I realized this was a...

You probably blew a side of 6922. Very costly. 
Upgrading wall outlets
Ok, I'm not looking to start a flame war. But can someone tell me why the power from the plant to my house is going to be noticeably improved by an outlet? I have an open mind some please tell me. 
McIntosh MC2205
I have had both the 2255 and the 2205. To this day I kick myself for selling them. I would love to by one today from a seller that took care of his. If you know it's in good shape get it! 
JBL is a 4340 better than a 250ti?
Do you mean a 4430? That's a tough one to answer. I have owned a pair of 4430s and when set up properly they are unbelievable. I have listened to 250ti's at a friends and thought they sounded great. Never heard the 2 side by side in the same room. 
Good Inwall Speakers
I'd have to agree with Dan. Triads are a bit pricey but sound fantastic! If you can't sell them Dan let me know in a month or so I might be inerested in them. just spent a bit on an amp & preamp.

The best speaker you ever heard?
I don't own this pair....JBL 4343s'S studio monitors. A seller of some used audio was letting me audition a used amp when I heard the JBLs. I haven't heard anything like them before or since. They were big and they were ugly, but they had the best...

JBL L300 Summit
I'm wondering what characteristics of these speakers would change? Lets assume the surrounds are mantained and all the drivers are functioning properly. That being said is it unreasonible to see a pair sell for as high as $3K on Ebay. I was lookin... 
JBL Reissue or Anniversary Speakers??

Ordered 7 Cds based on the suggestions above. All were great. The biggest enjoyment for me was the Cowboy Junkies, & Eva Cassidy. I can't believe I've never heard of the Cowboy Junkies. Keep up the suggestions! Like someone said earlier.....CD... 
Is McIntosh still a good choice?
The Mcintosh works without any strain it seems. I'm not going to pretend to be some articulate reviewer but It's the best I've experienced im my own home. With the speakers wired right (Should have kept my mouth shut) They sound better than I imag...
