Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Something I find of intrest is the speaker's he has designedbecause he is using Aluminum cast driver's.My speaker's are of that pedigree and I am having a great ime using them with the OTA cable.I do not think they could be driven by SET amps ,but... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Georgia2k--I will read the address you had given,but I would not give out that much $$ for any speaker cable.The only reason I got the OTA was the sweet deal I got on it(below 1/2 the list price)and the feedback from other users.Might run circles ... 
Monoblocks vs Vertical bi-amping vs Horizontal bia
Forever Hifi--I tend to agree when havinf to save $$.I still need to see what my designer is up to so it's a wait and see game for myself,but I know I will be satisfied with whatever the outcome.I tend to agree with your assertion that Parasound m...

There are a few B&K Sonata's being sold on A-Gon at the moment.I would like to get them to be modified. 
Monoblocks vs Vertical bi-amping vs Horizontal bia
KevinzoeIt would be ideal to have Mono amps to drive each driver to each speaker.That being said it is also very expensive using world class amps plus the active crossover.If you have the $$ go for it.You would be taking the drag out of an amp bei... 
B&K vs Adcom – opinions please
Do not know how it goes against a modified B&K.Adcom I would only buy if I needed a cheap amp for Bass driver's.Was considering Classe,but I would rather get a Monarchy ClassA amp that is close in performance to Pass Labs amps.JMO

What is the 4719 speaker cable you are refering to.I would not be best to give a response.What I can tell you is that the OTA Cable is FAST!I have had other's state they have had good results using it for internal wiring of speaker's which I will ... 
Monoblocks vs Vertical bi-amping vs Horizontal bia
I will be trying Verticle amping and from what I have read it is better to have an outboad active crossover and drive each speaker with it's own amplification in order to make the driver's run more efficiently.Dedicated amps is what I would call i... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
I recieved my Cryo Treated OTA cable to try as IC's and will be having it installed in my new speaker's if testing goes well for the cryo'd IC's.I also have tried the Eichmann Plugs with it and I would say unless you are forced to use them don't!S... 
B&K vs Adcom – opinions please
I have the original ST-202 and had it modified shortly after buying it.The sound is totally different than the stock version whereas the forward biasing cleared out the grain or glazed sound that I could really live without.I had listento the Adco... 
Mono block suggestions
Checkout Monarchy amps.They run in ClassA which is a plus.They are said to be almost as good as the Pass amps for alot less. 
Can speakers be both "big" and "accurate" ?
Find a 2-way rear ported speaker that goes down to around 32Hz. and you'll do fine.My room is the same dimensions as yours which does not need to be taken up by big Panel Speaker's and the like.JM Labs,Revel,JMR(Jean Marie Reynaud),DeCapos,ProAc's...

Can speakers be both "big" and "accurate" ?
I hate to say it ,but are you kidding?If there were not speaker's out there to fulfill the requirements you are asking then it would all be a waste of time & $$.It depends on your room also!What is the size of your room?What are you planning o... 
Is it taboo to mod a speaker?
Yes,If you change Driver's you have toi redo the XO's then have the Speaker's tuned again.I have to get mine done after adding a Mid\Bass Driver,but the sound is better than having the stock driver's so I am happy with the results because they are...
