What she said!!! Funny that someone would join and come up with that name! Well, welcome to the club and you are in the right place for your namesake! :cool:

When I bought my Ascent i's last year, the dealer sold them to me for well under $3000.00 and that included shipping from California to Indiana. I bought a brand new pair knowing that they were being phased out. I can't make a comparison with either the Vantage nor the Summits as I have yet to...

Jeff, For goodness sake, no offense was taken at all. I enjoy your humor and took it as such. Please don't think I was offended. So, you can take this as your que to not stop as it is always enjoyed. Sorry about your credit card bill. Those really suck! Robin, What does anyone need to say...

That surprises me. I own Pass and have always been under the impression that I missed out by not giving Classe it's full audition. Not that I am unhappy with what I have as am delighted with it. Just always wondered in the back of my mind about the Classe stuff. :cool:

Now I am blushing! Somehow I knew someone was going to burst my bubble before I could even start to enjoy it! Thanks for not letting me down Jeff :( Perhaps at this juncture, I should reply with a simple OUCH BABY!!!

Must be a lot of people out there like you Jeff. I guess that explains why I have not had any offers or calls on the Yugo I have had for sale the last six months... :confused:

You want what I wanted so I went for a blend of Solid State and Tube. Take a look at my system as it gives me that warm lush dark sound but still has the UMPHH that makes it complete. As Robin can attest to, I call it sonic narvana. :cool:

Hey thanks for the links! As Cary's history has been one of "Tube" expertise, I thought these were tube amps and not solid state. In my mind I was trying to imagine what they had to look like to put out that kind of power with tubes. So I am sure you can imagine my dissappointment when I hit the...

Wowsa! What do those 500B's do into 4 ohms and 2 ohm loads? I would hate to know the cost of those monsters! I have always liked Cary but the price vs output wattage always kept me away. Maybe it also has to do with my "Tim, the Toolman Taylor" attitude! urr, urr urr! :D

I have no doubt that we will eventually see some blending. I have been involved in a couple of acquisitions myself and synergies are taken into account when developing your price point. Other factors such as the ability to consolidate back room functions such as HR, Accounting, Data Processing...

Dave, my Mother and my Brother and his family live in the Avondale, PA area. Maybe on my next trip out to visit them, I can talk my brother into going to Overture with me. He has B&Ws as his fronts in his HT setup. I think that might have been where he bought them. The local dealer in Indy who...

Something tells me that watching movies with that setup is really sweet. Welcome to the ML Club! :cool:

That would be a really interesting listening session! I envy you! I am a big fan of the B&W 802's and ended up purchasing MLs instead but did not have the opportunity to do a side by side. I do love the ML sound and what really made my decision easy was the fact that in seperate sessions, I...

I do watch all of the posts on this subject closely. I did try hanging a couple of large towels on the backs of the speakers to see what that did and it only made them sound flat and dull. When I get ready, may I come to you for suggestions? :confused:

Had to jump in Funny thing is, I was the biggest Krell fan on the planet. I will admit that I still am a fan. Now when you look at my system, you are sure to wonder why I didn't purchase Krell. I mean we are talking the same amount of money. I saw where Joe, Joey, Dave, & Anthony all mentioned...

I might get flamed for this but I am a very big proponent of "factory refurbished" stuff. A couple of reasons why. 1) Price - Components can normally be purchased at the same price or close to the same price as the used market is fetching. 2) Better than used - You're buying an item that has...

Mine are in my garage stacked against the wall. Keep in mind, I don't have a wife so there is nobody to complain about them either. I use on of the labels on the box to measure when to stop my car after pulling in too! When my passenger side mirror reaches it, I stop. Great tool! :D

If you would be interested, I have a brand new and never used set of Nordost Blue Heaven in 3.5M length, spade termination, & Bi-wire that I am thinking about selling.

You might want to try out www.audiogon.com. It is a very reliable site and the prices are normally better than what you will end up at on eBay. Keep in mind that you purchased through a third party that is in business to sell things on eBay for people who don't want to do it themselves. They...

Just know that you're other post in the New Year's Resolution thread inspired me to finally get pictures taken and posted on here. The HT project is well down the road. I live in a three bedroom condo and the layout is not conducive for a HT set up. I would have to do some remodeling and change...
