Please Help Me Shorten My List
I love my Focal Professional CMS 65 pair. They go down cleanly to 45khz. 
Best Computer Speakers
I'm VERY happy with my Focal Professional CMS 65 pair. However, they are pricey $8-900 (made in France) at Sweetwater and heavy since the cabinets are aluminum. I would rate the build quality on par with their traditional high end stereo speakers.... 
Is my power jinxed?
Speakers were replaced about the same time as the amp. Similar load to old ones. No problems with other amp, no other house wiring mods. System played at same listening level as old amp/speakers as read by db meter. Duet kicks out at lower listeni... 
PS Audio PCA-2 upgrade replacement options
Khyber, I have LOTS of Signalcable in my system. Frank gives a lot of bang for the buck. Have you talked with Walter at Underwood HiFi about trading your HCA-2 for the W4S? That's what I did. I have bought six or seven pieces from him since '03. H...

VPI Scout "tweaks"
They bolt into the table in place of the stock feet. I believe the thread size is 1/4 x 20. Since I did this a while ago, you can double check that thread size by taking a stock foot to your local hardware store and checking it with a bolt and nut...

Does anyone have experience with the Essence and a 250 watt class D amp? 
VPI Scout "tweaks"
I replaced the stock feet on my Scoutmaster Signature with Mapleshade brass feet. They really improved the bass and detail. I tried the VPI TNT feet as an upgrade first but sold them. They were a bit more open but not nearly as good as the Maplesh...
