Bryston Loudspeakers?
It was a joint project between Axiom and Bryston. If you meander over to Audiocircles you'll find plenty of info on their new speakers 
Replacement for Maggie's?
If you are that thrilled with your 1.6s I can't help but think 2 obvious options are:1. move up to a 3.6 or the latest 3.7 model which will give you more bass but maybe not enough and if not enough...2. integrate a sub (or many people advise prefe...

Bryston BCD-1 Player Owners
While there are different as opposed to "better" flavors out there in terms of digital pieces one man's better isn't necessarily better to someone else. That being said moving away from the BCD-1 to any DAC will change things for you in terms of s... 
Bryston BCD-1 Player Owners
It would be good to try and understand what about the BCD-1 makes you feel it no longer matches your system? If you still like the sound of the Bryston you have the option of acquiring a used BDA-1 which has dual Crystal dac chips in it over the s...

Oppo BDP 103 and 105

Coincident Statement Pre Vs Aesthetix Calypso Pre
While I have had no direct experience with either of these 2 preamps, let me make a suggestion...List your remaining components which may allow others to relate their experience with synergy among components and why it is you are looking at these ... 
Does anyone make...
I have a set of Vampire adapters like the one you are looking for, typically used to adapt a single spade into a banana. If I open them up to the largest capacity it gives you an opening of 3/16" so your 2 spades would have to be pretty thin.Audio... 
Looking for Sonic Frontier SFM-160 mono blocks

B&W 802d - Power, Help/ Opinion please
while I can't speak to the Levinson component I would advise (having owned a variety of Bryston amps) I would not go for the "ST" version. If you are looking in the $5K range then look at the "SST2" version as they will be a better match with the ...
