Analysis plus oval silver or oval 9 ?
Viggen...no offense, but why would anyone like boring sound. Maybe perhaps you mean smooth or laid back as opposed to bright. I'm all for that. A smooth sounding system can still be dynamic, detailed & high in resolution, which is the sonic ch... 
Analysis plus oval silver or oval 9 ?
Ian...Try AQ midnight III. It's very reasonable & blows out AP-9. AP sounds veiled, much less dynamic & detailed in comparison. Quite frankly I don't know why AP gets so much press. It's BOOOOOOORING & drained the excitement out of my ... 
Analysis Plus vs. Harmonic Technology
I don't have any experience with HT, but found AP-9's to be a huge disapointment. Some describe it as nuetral & smooth. I found it to be veiled lacking detail & dynamics. Believe it or not, my AQ midnight III blew it out in every respect. ... 
My experience trying to buy a REL subwoofer...
Well..you're first mistake is dealing with Tweeter. I've never met any salesperson at Tweeter who had a clue about high end audio period. Quite frankly, I'm disappointed that Sumiko uses them as a distributor, but than again it's mostly for HT I g... 
To Sub or not to Sub...?
Hey guys forget about how low/HZ certain passages go. Especially if you own monitors, there is FULLNESS you can achieve by intergrating a sub. I own a pair of Sonus Faber Electa Amatours which go down to 45HZ. There really is not much recorded mat... 
klipsch heresy, please be critical
Quite frankly I find them loud, thin, terribly bright & very fatiguing. Honking horns. Hardly audiophile quality. At their price point you could do much better. 
Which amp is better for monitors....
Willyb...you being new, I realize why you may not understand, but we really need to know what speakers you will be using in order to recommend an amp. If this answers your question the Pass Aleph in my opinion is a more musical better sonic reprod... 
Class B int.=Class B Pre/Pro???
Class B seperates will almost always be sonically superior to class B integrates, but only if they are properly matched with the right synergistic components. Be very careful with Stereophile recommended components. They should ONLY be used as a g... 
Sonus Faber Extrema..bi-wire or not??
Definately not bi-wired. It will sound better single wired(more resolution). Try not to use jumpers. Pull your midwoofer out & reattached your tweeter connections unto your midwoofer terminal (it's simple , no soldering neccesary). Hope this h...

What tubes are you using;CJ Prem.5
Avguygeorge: Your quite welcome, but Fonsy deserves all of the thanks. Wait until you get these things back. Then you will be really thanking him. If love the CJ 5's now, I'm sure your going to be in awe when you hear it with the mods. I don't wan... 
What tubes are you using;CJ Prem.5
Avguygeorge: Just to let you know that I have known Fonsy66 for a couple of years now. Believe me when I tell you, this guy knows his stuff. He has had more equipment in his house than you could imagine. None of what he tells you is at all an exag... 
forte 4 VS. forte 4a VS. forte 7
JY: I concur with Elizabeth & others who state the differance between 4 & 4a is a balanced input. I owned the model 6a at one point. I found it to be both sonically pleasing (warm yet detailed) & built like a tank. The 6a is exactly th... 
Opinion on Mcintosh MC 300, MC 352 Amp
Hi Twilo: I too owned a MC-300 for a short period of time. It is aesthetically beautiful & with build quality second to none. Unfortunatly, sonically I found it to be a huge disappointment. I found it to be both thin & very bright sounding... 
Yamaha T-1
The T-1 was manufactured in 1978-79. It's the little brother of the renowned T-2 (known as one of the best tuners of all time). The T-1 retailed for $365. I payed $75 for a used mint one. They may sell on ebay for $200 - 300, but like most things ...
