I'm a bit late Dave but congrats! I have 2 grandkids and they are the love of my life. Hopefully my wife won't read this!! Gordon

Ron, sent a PM. Gordon

I have mixed opinion on the value of power cords for the speakers. I tried some Wireworlds on them and noticed no difference from the factory piece. However when I placed them on my amps, pre and dac, there was a noticeable difference. So to me, it depends on where they are placed. Some...

Hi Chess. You say southern MD. I'm in Lexington Park. Anywhere close? Gordon

I've always thought it was advisable to have wire looms from the same manufacturer. I have a complete loom from WireWorld and feel a companies philosphy (no regard for science on my part) completes the set. Just like a mini spare will roll the car down the road, it dosen't look or feel the same...

I owned a MC-352 with Vantage and Spires. Does the little brother count? Gordon

Go for broke and get the C1000:) Nice prices on them at Audio Classics!! Gordon

Ron, I know Dan. I purchased some gear from him at that site. Haven't been there in awhile although I shoud drop in. Dan had some interesting "things to say" about the 220 but they worked out in the end from what I've read and he told me. A great piece of gear but I'm still abit gun shy since I...

Pat, you and I have close to the same gear. I tried the MDA/MCD as my pre and found it a bit sterile and dry for my taste. I added the C1000 pre with tubes and it did soften the presentation to my liking. I did try the MDA/C combo with a C2200 tube pre for awhile and I did enjoy that except I...

Well, back from Vegas with my wallet fairly intact! Fortunately the better half was with me and she decided going to shows and dinner was a better way to expend the funds:) Did see David Copperfield and the Jersey Boys. (great musical) Bruce, the addition of a pair of subs was leap of faith. I...

While I'd love to talk about this right now, we're leaving for Vegas in an hour. Bruce, if you search my name, I have commented on the superb sound (IMO) of additional subs with the Spire. If you can't find any of my threads or comments, I'll post my opinions on Sunday if I can afford the return...

Is this the same Bruce that I exchanged PM's with a couple years ago about the Spire? I do believe it is and I'm glad you brought a bit of a "foreign language" and the translation to us on this side of the pond! Based on my present room, the Spire is still, IMO the finest speaker I have ever...

I think if you placed them on the short wall where the massive bookcase is would degrade the sound. I'm in agreement with Steve to swap the couch and speakers and have the smaller bookcase between the speaks or under the window on the short wall. the short wall being my prefered placement due to...

Agree and my thanks for introducing her to me! Something about Jersey Girl on Temptation (not live) is just.......wow! Gordon

Perhaps if they put some tiny blue meters I might be interested :) Gordon
