It really comes to something when a brand as iconic as Gibson Guitars cant stay afloat!
PRICES HAVE BEEN WAY TOO HIGH FOR TOO LONG A TIME.  
High End is Dead?
Classical is better than JOHNNY WINTER? Yer readin' the wrong books.  
Full-Range to Monitors
I went to Lipinski L707's. Great sound, but I needed 2 subs and I don't like subs. Want big sound you need big speakers and drivers. When I sold them and my subs I used Wilson Witt II's for 3 years, and now run Legacy Whispers. No need for subs ev...

Enough power to drive my speakers?

Shipping heavy speakers
I used freight guard to ship Wilson Witt II's from Fl to Az. Make sure you have the crates, guts and plastic jackets (to cover the speakers with) put them on a pallet, strap them down and put shrink wrap around them as many times as you can. If th...

Opinions on Cary CAD120s MK2
I just traded in my Cad 120s with upgraded caps and hexfreds and used it with a Cary SLP98P pre amp. It drove all speakers very well including Wilson Witt series II and my current Legacy Whispers HD speakers (without the built in amps) I only trad... 
My Cary SLP-98L preamp....
I'm doing the same with my SLP98P Getting Mundorf caps and one of the main out wires resoldered.. I was running a CAD 120;s amp but got an absolute steal on a pair of Canary M 350 monoblocks. The SLP98 pre's are under rated. Best of luck.  
Do I have to brand match preamp and amp?
No, you don't have to match brands as long as there are no impedance mismatches. I just traded in a Cary CAD 120's hooked up to a Cary SLP 98P pre for a pair of Canary M350 monoblocks and my Legacy Whispers HD never sounded so great, and they were...

Equalizers
If you're looking into a DBX get the 14/10. You get 8 half octaves 1 3/4 octave and 5 full octaves. You'll want the mic to use the pink noise generator.  
Tube Matching...
Thanks Jond, I'm told this pure class A amp should drive my Legacy Whisper HD's very nicely.  
HOW SHORT IS TOO SHORT?
Thanks lak, I keep the ic's  pc's and cables off the floor and use a semi suspension pARTuclar rack . Thanks to all.  
HOW SHORT IS TOO SHORT?
I'll get a couple more blocks and stack them later on. I can't wait to hear the 300b class A amps. I'll check out those brass points or maybe use roller blocks on one lever and fat pads on the other. Thanks again.
