Glad to hear the Michi X5 is working out for you. I recently went thru a big amp search/upgrade and was considering a pair of the Michi M8's. I thought that they were just great looking amps, and was totally amazed at the power to price ratio. Pretty amazing! However, I got scared off by the...

Actually, I moved from amps designed by the legendary John Curl (Para JC-1), to amps designed by the legendary Nelson Pass (Pass XA160.8)! :LOL: That upgrade basically started me down the path of other upgrades, including collapsing my two Para amps into a five channel amp to gain some rack...

No issues with the Para amps I pulled out. It was simply that I needed some rack space. The plan was to gain one open rack space by combining my 2 channel and 3 channel amps into a single 5 channel amp. Of course while I did combine my 2 and 3 channel amps into a single 5 channel amp... the...

No surprise that the majority of votes went to either Audiogon or US Audio Mart. I think what this will come down to is my 'higher value' stuff (let's say over $500-1000) will likely end up on one of those two sites, while I've got some other stuff (like a couple of NAD phono preamps) that I'll...

I'm 100% with you on the storage locker approach. I did basically the same thing and got a 10' x 10' locker. Like you, I think the 'move in special' price was around $45-50/mo. Of course, it didn't take long until it started climbing and a little more than a year later, I am at $107/mo. :mad...

I 'was' using a REL high level connection directly off my center channel amp (Parasound A31). IOW, there was the speaker cable that ran to my ML Illusion center, and a separate REL cable that ran to my REL T/9i center sub. You would either need to talk to REL or spend some time on the REL How...

Well, my response started out 'tongue-in-cheek' as well. Usually, no matter how I phrase a question... I'm close to having my mind made up, and am mostly looking for confirmation that I am headed the right direction and not overlooking anything. I'll be zero help in advice between the 11 and...

Hmmmm... I thought you wanted talked OUT of doing an upgrade?? :unsure: Now, in addition to needing to upgrade your 11A's to 15A's... it appears you also need to increase your actual room size! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I didn't realize your room was tight. I am also in a 'weird, L-shaped...

Well, my advice would be if you are going to upgrade from 11A's... then 'really' upgrade... skip the 13A's... and go all the way to 15A's (42.5% increase in panel size vs only 18% going to the 13A)!!! And if you can't swing the 15A's right now, then I would just skip the upgrade and save the...

You make a good point on that, and since I don't have the boxes anymore... this is likely where they will end up! (y)

Very cool! I had not heard of these guys before!!! (y)

I'm busy trying to clear out some old gear, and thought I had a lot gear hanging around!!! :oops: Check out this short video I received from Acoustic Sounds - The Texas Collection. This guy has multiple rooms full of old gear! Lots of it is vintage gear, but some is new in the box... like a pair...

From our past discussions, I'm guessing you are talking about a store in Old Montgomery? If so, the last time I spoke with them about selling used gear was when I bought my Illusion. IIRC, they quoted me 30% commission if I was buying something from them, and 40% if I just wanted to give them...

I actually hadn't thought about Craigslist so maybe this isn't fair, but I would have the same concerns as Russr about getting ripped off. Some of my stuff like my JC-1's will likely go in the $3-4K range so I'm looking for a secure transaction. Also, I was talking with my Music Direct guy and...

FWIW, I heard back from IsoAcoustics last night about GAIA's under an Illusion, and one size, or two sizes, etc... 'That's a very interesting case and though I personally have not seen the GAIA be used with the Illusion, I have no doubt that they would work just fine. In this situation I would...

Okay, good to know on using the II's. Also, for anyone interested, the threads are 1/4"-20 per the user manual. I did go ahead though and followed ttocs advice advice and sent an email directly to isoAcoustics so we'll see what they actually recommend. As for Crutchfield... I've used them for...

Which GAIA's did you use on your Illusion, and are the fronts the same as the rears?

I thought I should actually close this issue out for anyone that has been following it or interested in a PS Audio Powerplant... As stated above, I installed my new, replacement P20 at the end of February. It has now been running for more than three months without a hiccup! (y) The only thing...

I've got a bunch of used gear that I need to find new homes for (sorry, no ML speakers). Multiple amps, preamps, an SACD player, tuner, etc. Most is in excellent condition with boxes, manuals, etc (a few, not so much). The most obvious sites seem to be... Audiogon, eBay, US Audio Mart, and of...

Since people are expanding their GAIA usage beyond their left/right main speakers, I'm wondering if anyone has tried them on a (floor mounted) center channel speaker? I've got an Illusion C34A center which also comes with spikes. If you aren't familiar with the Illusion, the spikes at the front...
