Car jack and stands, bunch of DVDs, and a bunch of some nice sweaters and shirts.
I consider myself a pretty lucky guy with the car I drive sitting in my garage, so I really didn't want to much. | |

What do you think of Rotel amps??? I thinking of picking up the 200watt version in the near future.
| Rotel is a very high quality brand. Their 1062 preamp is also very good, won an award from HiFi+
I like their five channel amp, a friend has one. They are owned by the same company that owns B&W speakers. | |

Join Date: Oct 2002 Posts: 2,006 | Well, to my audiophile friends, as my daughter has grown older, it seems that the house has gotten smaller; and sounds that were once welcome (Dad's stereo) now interfere with homework. So, while it wasn't technically a Christmas present, when Dad (Mosca) ordered the Grados, he also got this Headroom Micro Amp 
and these Sennheiser HD-595s 
along with a Kimber interconnect to go between the amp and the source!
I'd been using a Total Airhead amp and Etymotic ER-4s, but the Etymotics kept giving me ear problems. I'll use those on airplanes.
SilverLexus, I made the mistake a couple-three years ago of getting a BEL 980 based on a website that purportedly rated the different detectors. I don't care for it; it is an ergonomic nightmare. The mount is poorly designed, the lights are weak, and the signal isn't loud enough to hear with the top down. I wound up not using it ever. I haven't plugged it in in over a year. But, I didn't want to spring the $400 for the V-1. This was a good way to get something I wouldn't have gotten myself. That was nice of them!
Tom

The Headroom amps are great but Musical Fidelity and Antique Sound Labs also make some good ones. I prefer tubes when possible - they sound more natural. | |

I just recently picked up a set of RS-8s and man do I love them, but mostly for their ability down low. They don't have near as much bass potential as my SVS sub, but they have an entirely different type of bass output. Much cleaner and more punchy than the sub. I find myself switching between bass out the sub only and bass out the mains only just to hear the differences in songs.

I'm sure your Klipsches sound great, too, though
