Thanks Josh, I hate the hi-fi racks... at the moment I'm using two cheap IKEA furniture, out of production at the moment. Probably I will upgrade it soon with a custom design forniture.

I'm using simple concrete platform with rubber or spikes.

The squeezeBox sounds good, obviously with uncompressed media, specially with high resolution formats. But it need to be converted by a good D/A.

Yes, I need more power for the 20.1 in my listening room and I like the sound of ML. More "relaxed" and musical.

Yes, I use the NuForce and Maggie combo with satisfaction in these months. I find the right tonal balance with these.
Now I upgraded with Mark Levinson 436...:))

I find in the K1 the natural evolution of the B&W sound. No cabinet coloration, no dynamic compression...the sound is really free from the speakers.
In regards of the classic B&W sound the Vivid have more neutrality in the midrange section and a smooth high section.

Thank you Jorgitox!

Yes is the series ONE edition. They are really different from the 801, the 800s had a smooth midrange and a big, big soundstage. These big sculpture need a powerfull amplification and sound better in bi-amp configuration. I adjust the bass aligment with my TacT digital eq. for a really deep bass.

Go shure to the 800s, you will love them.

Arkprof, the 800s has a really big soundstage with a huge dynamic range. But I love these monuments because of the ability to reproduce any little detail with precision... No other big speakers can do it as the 800s. The mid/high range have a extraordinary precision without any hardness, the bass section is very strong but never without control... I hope to enjoy these speakers for many years..

Dude, you gotta get a better turntable. A Nottingham Dais or an SME 20 wouldn't be going to far.

Yes, I know... I'm searching for an Oracle Delphy. But I can use my father's old turnatable Micro DQX-500...

The Nordost BlueHeave have a realy trasparent sound & a deep rock bass. But I use only one meter of cable for speaker this lay out minimize the cable influence.
