Nothing like having a major audio equipment manufacturer make a humble pee-on such as myself eat my words. Check these babies out! They can be had for around $40,000.00 from what I am hearing...

I have the Ascent i's and I remember a time when the look of them turned me off. Then I heard them and the look started getting better and better. Now, I really like the look of them. They don't have the build quality of Wilson or B&W's but the sound makes up for it IMHO. Even though at first...

Dennis, Shanling is imported to the US by Music Hall. I have posted a link to thier website where they have a dealer locater link. This should help you out. http://www.musichallaudio.com/ Good luck in your quest.... :cool:

Taz and kach are right on it. Upgrading that CD player would be a QUANTUM leap for your system. You have a great foundation and a good CD player would give you hours upon hours of pure listening pleasure. When I upgraded from my old Denon (which would be an upgrade from the JVC) I went through...

What speaker cables did you settle on? Also, what were the five(5) sets that you tried and could you tell me what you experienced with each? I am audtioning Nordost right now but want to give them a good 2/3 weeks of listening before I make up my mind.

Simon, I would demo the Meridian and the Mac and if you like one of them, start looking on the used market on Audiogon.com. A dealer where I live carries the Macs and they are very good. I did not see the justification in price difference so I went with the Shanling. Plus, I wanted tube and...

You guys gotta stop posting these cool gizmos! At this rate, I will never be able to retire! Thanks for the complete explanation too!

Now that is funny!! What a great sense of humor!!! :D But Eddy has such great leggs.....LOL :cool:

Scott, You won't have to worry, changing the rails is really, really easy. Three screws that need to be loosened for each rail. I could not believe how easy it was. You will be fine. Mark

Perhaps you should start watching FOX news instead??? LOL :D

I doubt that it was the room treatment. McIntosh (not spelled McIntoch) speakers are not that great sounding no matter what gear you couple them with. You could liken this to ML and their Subs. Mac is playing off of brand loyality with their speakers but IMHO not very well. No where near as well...

Just spoke with my local Mac dealer and it appears that discussions with ML at CEDIA went well and he will be taking on their line in a month or so. The local dealer, Ovation is being dropped by ML. Ovation has stores in IN, KY, & OH. This is good news for me as now I will be able to home demo...

These bad boys are back!!!! :eek: Take a look at this link. http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrfull&1131983570

Just got off of the phone with the dealer I bought my Ascent i's from and he said that the list on the Vantage was going to be exactly half of the Summit price. That puts them at $5,000.00 and he said they will sell more of the Vantage once it comes out then they will the Summits as a result of...

Here is the link to the one I have coming. It will hold 300lbs per shelf. http://www.tjbailey.com/arcici/suspense.htm

I fly out in the morning. Will let you know the next time I am coming out and will do so in advance. I hit my debit card pretty hard today. New shoes (expensive Italian ones), nice pair of wool dress slacks, four casual shirts, One casual tee, six pair of dress socks, six pair running socks, and...

Am so glad that I am not the only one with a warped sense of humor. I am in LA on business at the moment. Is that close to you? This is kind of a quick in and out and am travelling with the boss. We have a few hours to kill this afternoon and are planning on driving the Pac Coast Hgwy. :cool...

Is the Mic wireless and do you have to leave it in the listening position all of the time? Thanks for the explanation Joe and KC. :D

Not trying to "one up" Joe here but, we can work something out with my Ascent i's... I am sometimes way to giving...LOL Congrats DUDE!!! :D

Jeff - From what I heard, the cleaner's name is Pedro but he lives in the tropics...LOL and uses 3M Industrial Cleaner. LOL Oh my, I could not help that one....LOL :D :eek: :cool:
