I need recommendations on Speakers for McIntosh
B & W, Focal and add Wilson to that mix. 
B&W 804s too bright
McIntosh goes very well with B & W, esp the tubed amps. Tames the highs v well. 
New Room Long wall or short wall?
In my experience in my room, bass enhancement was the only positive attribute of placing speakers along the long wall. You had to tame it, but it was there. In all other respects too numerous to mention, the short wall was better for me. 
New Room Long wall or short wall?
Short wall. Toe in will be necessary. Experiment with that but I assume it will fall somewhere between firing the tweeters at the outside of your shoulders to having them cross slightly in front of you. I would start with firing the right speaker ... 
Best recorded rock song ?

Best recorded rock song ?
I'll not answer:Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Van Morrison Zep re: 70s, 80s, 90s. 
Sophia 1 with McIntosh/Lamm tubes? Please advise
B & W 804S. 
Min room size for Wilson Audio Sophia or WP8
Hi Sergeik:Actually, the 2 8' woofers to my ears are more accurate (tighter bass) and can reach a little bit lower in the frequency range. The 10" woofer rounds off the low end a touch, makes it sound a little bigger and is slightly warmer. Each s... 
Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet
Tbg-Very interesting. Haven't come across that issue yet, but surely will someday. Cling wrap sounds like a good solution. 
Min room size for Wilson Audio Sophia or WP8
Hi Sergeik: My listening room is 20' x 131/2'. Had Sophias for a few years and later WP7s, each in various configurations. The Sophias are wonderful. But I was able to hear all of the differences between the Sophias and the WPs in my apt that I he... 
Sophia 1 with McIntosh/Lamm tubes? Please advise
I agree with Ricred1. I too have owned a number of Wilson speakers including Sophias, Watt Puppy 7s and Sashas. Sashas are, to my ears, among the best speakers out there----at any price----. But they are a tough load in portions of the low end. Wi...

Thanks Tbg. I'm not surprised.

For those of you who think that a purchase of the AD cleaner at its lofty price might be a compromise of sacrificing the best cleaner for the convenience of a good cleaner, I must say that I used to use a 4 step process with my VPI 17f including t... 
Sophia 1 with McIntosh/Lamm tubes? Please advise
Mac tubes and Sophia are a great marriage. Had that exact setup for a few years. Lamms would be a different (also very synergistic) combo with Sophia's. Both will be very holographic and dimensional as well as dynamic. Go with Sophia's for a huge ...

Sonofjim:I was assured that problems that existed in the first few years of production have been resolved. Of course, only time will tell.
