One thing I forgot to mention clearly is the overall sound characteristics. First, it did not sound like SS. I have heard many solid state amps. Albeit, not in my system though. I have heard MBL, A...

Not a problem. I have been in audio for about 10 years now. My present system is a HT/2ch because of lack of space. I really want to have both and I think I can have my cake and eat it too. But I w...

I know I know. I would really like to do it. But there are other forces working against me :). One thing I am really considering is getting rid of the Monster AVS2000. At this point I only have two...

That's a nice setup you got there. I have heard Cayin before and really liked it. Don't see many profile's. I have the 1027B'es. But I am sure that they are very fine speakers. A sweet looking firs...

Thanks for the reply. I used to think that bass was an issue with my 927's but with these, in my room, I am very satisfied with the bass. It could be my amp as well. And you are right. They are ver...

Can I ask how big your room is. LxWxH? Does the pass amp ever get so hot that it makes the room uncomfortable?Thanks

I have no doubt that the sound you are getting is top shelf.Thanks for the tip on the heat. My Bryston runs very hot, and to be truthful, I was trying to get something that would cut down on th...

The pictures do look very nice. Do you try and pull the speakers forward when you listen to music? When I moved my speakers out so there was nothing in between them, it made a huge difference. Than...

Nice setup. I have the 1027's myself. I am using a Bryston 4b-ST right now but I am in the very early stages of amp research. What short falls are you experiencing? In my room, I really can't pin a...

Great looking system. I heard the WP8's at CES with a few different pieces of gear. They sounded very very nice every time I heard them. That is a great looking room. I know I PM'ed you about Ayre ...

System edited: New sub added. The Seaton Sound SubMersive1 is a beast. It sounds incredible in my room. A great buy and I have no regrets.

Great job on the subs Mike. It does seem like they are the real deal. Like I said in my email, I have a Seaton Sound SubMersive1 and I love it for movies and MC music. I really have not used it for...

Nice updated system. I see you changed from the 1027's to the Sophia's. Did the Wilson's just sound that much better? I still have my 1027's and I think I will for a while. If you can remember, do ...

Thanks for the thoughts Dewald. It is something that I am thinking about very much. I have talked with a dealer and he is really sure that I should do this. The rack does sound very sophisticated. ...

Thanks for the nice words. The picture may be deceiving. The speaker placement works out pretty well for music and movies as it is. It took me a while to get the placement just right with these spe...

Thanks for the reply Mike. I know Barry wants me to take care of the wall unit first. When I make it out to his store, I am sure we can have a nice and thorough discussion about what I should do. F...

Regarding my wall unit Mike, I am very interested and will more then likely get the dart amp. Do you think that I will seriously compromise its performance if I put it in the same place as have my ...

Thanks Mike. Your comments are very helpful. No. My amps are not on the floor. I have monster power conditioners. The SRA platforms sit on those and my amps sit on top of the platforms. It is just ...

OK.Thanks for the explanation. So in reality, isolation is the way to go. I guess at this point I am using grounding methods. Now for sure I am going to look into changing my wall unit. I don't...

No need to apologize. I like that little film. You should have an "international" meet. That might be cool. P.SI am slowly trying to work my way into convincing myself that I should get the...
