Aerial 10T MK2 switch to active xover and/or more?
I have Aerial 8's and the bass is not muddy. Your amps are not up to par for those speakers. Aerial speakers like high-end power. I have a Classe' ca-400 and this amp makes them sing and I mean sing. The bass is tight,crisp and fast. I would upgra... 
Are the Monolith III better than Requests?
Thanks so far for your help. Rives how close to the side walls would you put them and how far from the front wall? I have my Requests about 4' from the sides and about 5' from the front wall. Also I have a Classe' CA-400 amp that I use with the Re... 
Mit cable question
Hi Ken, Thanks for your reply. The M2000 was the first Sigma cable that they designed in the early to mid 90's. The 1 meter retailed for $750 back then. So I could maybe get $300 to $350 for the 2 meter I have. I see the MIT 350 for sale once in a... 
B&W 801 Matrix III...which amp to use??
Ca-400 hands down. Had mine with my 801's w/Northcreeks and the sound was amazing. Had a 8008BB with them also. This amp sounded great but not near the sound of the big Classe' Don't let anyone tell you that power is not needed. The better the amp... 
Would this be an upgrade?
Hi Rockvirgo, The Theta sounds much better than the Sony on redbook Cd's. The Theta's soundstage is much wider and better overall. And the bass is much better. I heard that the dacs in the Theta are the same as Theta's Pro Prime IIa. But this brin... 
Survey: B&W
I had 805's, 802s3, & now have 801s3 with Northcreek crossovers and a bass filter from Listenup. I love these speakers alot. Sure there is always something better & people like to knock down B&W. But let's ask the million dollar questi... 
B&W VS Dynaudio .........
Hi,I looked at you system and a great one it is.I have been a B&W fan for some time,but I also liked my Martin Logans for different reasons. Both a very good with different strenghts. I would bet that what you are missing comes from the cd pla... 
My wife says yes Help what to upgrade next?
Thanks for the ideas so far. I forgot say that the Theta Miles is the balanced version & that I'm using it via. bal. interconnects.So the preamp would have to be balanced. I had Tara labs & MIT and seem to like these the best. I would like... 
My wife says yes Help what to upgrade next?
Hi- I'm using Monster Cable Sigma 2000 speaker and interconnects. I have not upgraded to PC's they are stock. 
Where does your user name come from?
I use my dogs name Gretchen (85lbs German Shepherd). I really think she loves the system more than I do. We actually fight for the couch when I turn it on.Cheers, Jim

Stay W/B&W 805's or goto a bigger speaker
Just want to thank everyone. Here's another thing to throw into the picture. The speaker cables I'm using are Monster cable 2.4 biwire. And the interconnects are a Monster M1000i between the pre and amp. And a Monster 850 from the cd player to the...
