CES 2004 Best of Show
I'm a little surprised that no one has mentioned the BAT listening room setup with a two channel system with Avalon speakers up front. To my ears their setup stands up well against any two channel system at the show. 
Is anyone using REL subwoofers with BAT tubed amp?
I agree the high level imput is the desirable way to connect this sub to my system. The sub has worked fine until I introduced the BAT amp. It may be coincidental that it went out at the same time I bought a new amp. Over this long weekend I'm goi... 
Is anyone using REL subwoofers with BAT tubed amp?
Hi Steve. I set up the sub in the manner suggested by REL which is using the Neutrik connector plugged into the high unbalanced imput. I have a second, matching sub that is undergoing warranty service. Sumiko has suggested when they get my second ... 
Is anyone using REL subwoofers with BAT tubed amp?
Thanks for responding. Now, answering these three responses: The problem with the subs is they simply will not play. When connected to both the BAT and McIntosh amp, I used the Neutrik cable that is supplied with the RELs. The subs worked with the... 
Will dedicated power lines eliminate ground loops
Thanks for the responses guys. I am planning on going with five dedicated lines so that one line on each side of the room can be used for a powered speaker and a subwoofer. One line for analog, one for digital, and one for the amp. I am also consi... 
match tube preamp w/Pass X250 recommendations?
For the past year, I have been using a BAT VK 30 preamp with a BAT VK D5 CD player that worked very well together. Before I used the BAT preamp, I was using an Adcom SS preamp. The BAT preamp opened up the soundstage quite a bit when compared to t... 
How do you clean a McIntosh amp?
Thanks for the suggestions. I begin cleaning this weekend. 
Recommend speakers for a strange move
Six months ago, I sold my Maggie 3.6's and replaced them with a pair of Intermezzo 2.6 (with optional stands). The detail was good, but the sound was too thin for my tastes. I added a pair of REL Strata III subs and quickly became happy with the s...

Will painting an acoustic panel lower absorbency?
It has been a couple of weeks since I looked at my original question and the responses you guys have provided. I thought that there would not be anymore responses but I see three have been added since my last visit. Thanks for the continued help.I... 
Will painting an acoustic panel lower absorbency?
Rives, thanks for your additional comments. I will take your advice and visit your listening room to see what else you have there that might be helpful. I've always had a decent quality stereo and/or home theatre in my home, but this is my first h... 
Will painting an acoustic panel lower absorbency?
Rives...thanks for the comment. The results from adding the panels have been very good. I started by completely covering the front and back walls with the 2" thick panels. I then installed panels 2" thick on the 4' tall knee walls along the left a...
