Kartracer, I just saw The Musical Box at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia on October the 20th. Aside from enjoying them, I use them as my reference in upgrading and tuning my system. You may also be interested in this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/... 
What CD player will warm my Thiel/Classe systm?
Ruhl,I just wanted to add to what Zaikesman so accurately posted above. Adding a subwoofer to my system was one of the best/cost effective moves I could have made. With some caveats: They are almost impossible to audition anywhere except at home. ... 
Lifting speaker cables
Well thanks all of you for responding. And while no consensus emerged (does one ever?), it does seem to be worth a try. I've been saving the cardboard from inside toilet paper rolls. My wife's gonna love this. Also, I think it's going to have to w... 
MSB Link Dac 3- have modded or go Benchmark ?or?
Thanks Gixerman. I purchased a used p1000 here on Audiogon for $2oo and am waiting for it to arrive. Matt.... 
MSB Link Dac 3- have modded or go Benchmark ?or?
Gixerman,I'm in the same quandry. Was the upsample option and the p1000 worth the investment and how did they change/improve the sound? Matt....... 
Musical Concepts Modifications
Rx8man,I'll bet those M-200's sound unbelievable. A dealer by me uses a pair of them to audition speakers and the only reason I didn't buy a pair is that they sounded so similar to the 5802. With John's mods, I can only imagine. By the way, this m...

Hi everyone. I just wanted to follow up and let you know how I made out with my modification. Well in short I could not be happier. The highend extension and transparency I was seeking have far exceeded my expectations. Sound stage? There is no lo... 
Best player for Poorly Recorded redbook CDs?
Henry, I had a similar dilema not long ago. My wife buys mostly new, well recorded CDs. I buy mostly 70s, poorly recorded CDs. And we have alot of average sounding CDs as well. The new stuff sounded bright, the average stuff was listenable and the... 
great SS amps for the klipsch rf7
I auditioned the RF7s recently at a "respectable" level and did not purchase them because they sounded almost identical to the Energys I already own. I'm driving them with an Adcom gfa-5802 300wpc and it is more than sufficient to 110db. The sound... 
Progressive Rock
Agithos, I had heard about the Klipsch RF-7s and auditioned them LOUD. The horn tweeters sounded more live than my Energys, but not enough to warrant the additional expense. Which again, brings me back to my point of "diminishing returns". However... 
Progressive Rock
Jsugo, that's my dilema. The Energy Audisey 5+2 speakers I have can literaly take a beating. And they pound out all the base required for the job. Energy also stocks parts going way back, so even if you do break something, you can order a replacem... 
Progressive Rock
Well, since I started this thread I figured I would weigh in. Besides for all the new prog rock suggestions, which I thank you for, I have concluded the following: While I agree that a great system should be able to reproduce any type of music, my... 
Progressive Rock
Wow. I had know idea there were that many of you out there. Thanks for the responses. No, I'm not about to blow 12K on speakers just yet. The point I was trying to make is that many of the people selling high end equipment are not targeting me or ...

Thank you all for responding. It is sincerely appreciated. I'm going to go for it. The only question is; when can I live without my amp for a few week?! 
Upgrading from Adcom GFA 5802
Thanks everyone for responding. I am going to explore some of the options and I will let you know how I make out. Matt....
