I have always kept with the manta of "do no harm" with cables vs "how good can it get".... I find , for me anyway, once I hit a reasonable level of decent cable, you can switch out $10K cables all day and I can't hear it. I settled on Kimber for almost all my cables. The only real $$$ I spent...

I think as much as most of us like to swap and try different set ups, once you get a great power amp, it can be the anchor of your system. And yes, power is a major factor in the set up if I have MLs ( I have the CLSII z panels). After you get the amp you like you can play all day with DACs and...

I have had a couple of Lampi's. Amber ans Baltic. It was a while back but no complaints at all. Definetly a niche company but I was able to email with question and got responses next day- from the owner I belive. Very good sound. I would call it "smooth detail". I used it at the time with a...

You are going to get a million suggestions but really the only way to tell how anything will team up with your speakers is in your house with your own ears. There are so many good pieces out there- but perhaps some members have your speakers and have tried a few different amps. I have CLSIIz...

A nice GT can be a satisfying drive, not every outing is a race, sometimes simply enjoying the journey is the reward. I agree whole heartily on the GT and Ford aspects. And nothing is expensive to fix.

Agree with Brandon. Although the Sim setup above looks awesome and no doubt is a ton of fun, it looks like it costs about what a Miata would and regardless there is no sim in the world that comes close in replicating a nice drive in my GT500 (or a Z06). Much less on a track. But maybe that is...

Not sure if this will help you but here goes. I had ReQuests and they were brilliant. I did not like the "modern" MLs and grabbed a pair of CLSii with new CLSiiz panels. These sound excellent and I don't miss the Requests (or any speaker really) at this point and that is coming from Wilson...

Agreed. I have since moved on to other track types and always will have a spot for Vette and Mustang

I have a dedicated 20a as well and multiple amp companies have told me to use the 20a wall- do NOT use a re-gen or similar. I agree 100% with your statement about possible restriction in regards to amps etc with re-gens. I have owned a few but none at this time. My most successful application...

If you have not already, try taking the PSA Re-Gen out of the system completely (or at least for speakers and amp) ,then try your volume test.

My thoughts (per my experience) on this are simple and directed at use case. I have a pretty nice power cable for my amp and few others for my sources such as DAC etc. While I have in the past paid a pretty penny for power re-generators and Niagara products, they did not seem to really improve...

When I first got my CLXIIz panels I had Beldon Iconoclast SPTPC speaker cables. In my system this proved to be a bit bright. I have switched to Kimber Monocle XL and have been very pleased. I do have a AQ Thunder power cable for my amp direct from a dedicated 20a circuit. All other boxes...

I'm getting great sound but one always wonders- could I tweak it better?. I have a terrible room I think. It is essentially a "L" with the system on the long wall. So my speakers are 6ft apart and 3ft from the wall with a toe in very slight of maybe 5 degrees. I sit about 8 ft back. The...

Seems to me a lot of us like the ML "vintage" stuff like CLS, CLX etc. I have seen a few posts stating ML will discontinue support on some older models, so I asked ML. The below is the response I got. While it's not exactly detailed, my bet is if you ask them a specific support question i.e...
