Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
I feel most people do not use quality high end or matched components while owning B&W. I think that is why they are sold often without even knowing their full potential. Different strokes for different folks and my 801 III with North Creek's k... 
Small living room system
Thanks for that bit of advice. I really have always thought that I got some decent desk systms from JVC in the past. I had a PC5 in the 80's that had seperate tuner/tape/amp and was unheard of in the day. I teamed it up with Boston CR6 for a study... 
theta cobalt307 with a jolida sj302 tube amp?
AS long as there is a coax (preferably) or toslink out of the Cal which I would think there would be. Happy listening. 
theta cobalt307 with a jolida sj302 tube amp?
I have a cobalt 307 with my headphone system and like it alot. I think the chroma is more refined but maybe $100-$200 more than the 307. I was going to reccomend the Rotel 980 since I have seen those for around $200-$300 and it had good reviews. E... 
Anyone use a POWERED SUB with Center Channel?
Yes I run it similar to "Timperry". I have 3 B&W ASW-800's in the front and the center sub is with the B&W HTM. I think it is great and was told to try it and see from my local dealer. I use the speaker post connections to the sub then to ... 
How long have you had the SAME GEAR?
I have had the same Krell/B&W (KSA-300S,KRC-HR,KPS20-i,B&W 801 III w/North Creek xovers,PAD Proteus cables) since 1997. I have tried going more current with Krell amps, but found I like the synergy of this system. I have added PS Audio pow... 
Bass Response and concrete floors
I laid a 3/4" sub floor over my concrete floor using furing strips every 12" in my audio/video room. A local dealer suggested this to help the bass travel the room for a realistic feel for movies. I used to have my dedicated audio on a first floor... 
Do "Cardas Caps" make a difference?
I just installed a new pack of 12 on my KRC-HR and KSA-300S. I know when using my theater thruput because I have a long run of RCA's I used to have a slight low level buzz. Now there is nothing and the system seems even quieter. I only put them on... 
PS Audio Juice Bar
Used on Audiogon is the best place to start. 
Do "Cardas Caps" make a difference?
I agree and if you are truely happy with your system and are looking for that last tweak, this should be it. I am not moving pieces around anymore and have isolated all and just ordered my sets. BTW I think they are going up from $3 to $3.75 each.... 
Krell Amps and Pre-amps
I have to disagree with the statements that "The designer skimped on transformer size/quality and/or power supply filtering, so now you need a separate and expensive unit just to improve on the performance of the original power supply." from Karls... 
Krell Amps and Pre-amps
Maybe I should start another thread on this but, has anyone had a chance to hear or heard how the new PS Audio line is? It looks interesting to me because I also plug my entire Krell system into the P1200/P600 power plants and never could go back.... 
Krell Amps and Pre-amps
I see where Lev335 is comming from but I am wondering about the statement on the bass. Krell is probably the most noted for their bass and slam in the entire industry. There are many arguments on "which one is the best", and it entirely relies on ... 
Any experience with Northcreek crossover for B&W?
I think at the time they said they were over protected or something to that effect anyway. They will answer any questions at North Creek, they were great when I bought mine. I will tell you that with my Krell KSA-300S I have used since I bought mi... 
Any experience with Northcreek crossover for B&W?
I have the 801 III with the North Creek's and I feel it will get you as close to the Nautilus without breaking the bank. Before the Nautilus it was the only way to get past the weakest link. It was fairly simple to install and will take a couple h...
