Cary 805s or Atma Sphere M60s?
Gopher - I can't comment on the Shuguangs, having never heard them, but I can see not liking the Atma/Daedalus combination. I did get to hear a recent pair of Daedalus in someone's home (they did not have the upgraded caps in the crossover). I fou... 
Cary 805s or Atma Sphere M60s?
It's a bit dangerous to overgeneralize about OTL sound. The AtmaSpheres sound much different than the Juole-Electras; the J-Es sound very rich, to the point that I htought they were colored. Very unlike the AtmaSpheres, adn very unlike the demo I ... 
Cary 805s or Atma Sphere M60s?
Eric- Did you ever get to make the comparison? I own AtmaSphere MA1s and remember hearing Cary 805s at CES in 2006 and thinking they sounded fantastic (in the Cary room, with all Cary stuff, including speakers (single driver horns, maybe, not sure...

What is BT? Is it a new variant of hte Treasure, or the same black glass treasure as usual? 
CA Azur 840E preamp or Vincent SA-T8 for MC402 ?
What's the rest of your system? Do you already have a preamp? If you can run direct,it's probably better to run direct than to put a mediocre preamp in the system. Maybe something else needs upgrading, probably speakers. At entry level hifi, the s...

So wtf is the Cloud? Some sort of scheme to store all our computer on rented space or something? Does this mean if we miss a payment all our music is kaput?

Oh, and who's the little guy standing behind the speaker? 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
No, I didn't. It's a long story, but after 4 years, we broke up. I had hoped we would get back together. I called her a year and a half later, and she had just gotten engaged. She was the only person I've ever met who I seriously considered marryi... 
Did anyone hear the Zu room at CES/THE 2011?
MaHughes - I took a look around here and the Zu site but couldnt' find anything. What happened? Do you have a link? 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
In the 90s I brought my girlfrined with me to pick up my new Pass Aleph 3. She thought ti was a bit crazy to be spending so much. While we were waiting, the salesman had us sit in a room with Pass Aleph Pre & Power, Audio Physic Virgo sepakers... 
Did anyone hear the Zu room at CES/THE 2011?
Team - I agree on the Tidals, and they were playing some really good music, and seemed to enjoy playing my music. I listened to the orange Vandies, but they were playing them so loud, I couldn't stand it. Even when they lowered them, I thought it ... 
Did anyone hear the Zu room at CES/THE 2011?
Just for perspective, what rooms did you like at CES/THE? My favorites were Hansen and Tidal.I found the DeVore room interesting in that he was playing a new, unusual sounding speaker. When playing a certain type of music, I guess you'd call it ra...

Review: Green Mountain Audio Eos vs Callisto Monitor
I would love to hear your system, but I am just about as far away as i can be and still be in the country (unless you mean the Massachusetts bay area). There is definitely something about time coherent speakers - I now have a pair of Ascendo ZF3s ...
