Do Physicists Or Musicians Design Better Speakers?
Of course, you are absolutely right. If Brian, my insurance salesman, designed the best speakers I'd buy those and recommend to eveybody else here as well. :) However, the spirit in which I took the question was, what kind of person in real life u...

Just curious, but is Thor available assembled? I understand the tweeter is dome which some people like less than ribbon etc. 
Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu
Dave: You are right, and I myself don't expect to commonly find people who have A/B'd thinly distributed brands like Tyler, Salk, and Zu. The scenario I had in mind was that someone owns one and tries out another, or maybe local audiophiles meet a... 
Boring but still needed: which VHS VCR?
While brooding over what to buy to replace our dead VHS VCR, I became aware of one more consideration. Presently we have one of the older analog TV's. Within 1-2 years we will probably buy an LCD HDTV. Given the uqality of broadcasts and our cable...

Ton 1313: Even if they have chosen offer only paint, I hope they will soon put a few good photos of what a painted panel looks like.Macrojack: I have read the 6moon review. Interestingly they are equlayy gung ho about a Gallo model which is priced... 
Boring but still needed: which VHS VCR?
Sugarbrie, Hodie, Jameswei, Drive: Thanks for your comments. I realize that in the last few years VCR's have cheapened considerably, in price as well as quality. My dilemma is what's best I can do now.Buying an older mint unit is an obvious though...

Miklorsmith: LOL, I am thinking, these guys must be geniuses a la Mozart or Einstein, who were almost retarded outside their immediate expertise (in this case, driver design)! Could you please point to Sean that someone looking at the picture of a...

Only fantasizing, but the thought just crossed my mind, wouldn't it be nice if Zu could have Tyler or Salk build their cabinets for them...

Scientists can design things that will work, but eventually you want to choose among things that all work well, you want the one that "sound best". That is a problem of human brain, how it hears and interprets signals, and so far scientific instru...

Microjack, Undertow: IMHO while it may be frustrating in certain situations it is basically healthy that serious audiophiles are not easily convinced by purely theoretical arguments as to why something will not work or is superior to all else. We ... 
Classic speakers to hunt down used
Another classic of yesteryear you may consider is DCM Time Windows. 
Just got some Chapmans
Douglas_schroeder: Did you go through the changeover to Chapmans? How did it work out? 
The very best new/used under $3k for classical?
Douglas_schroeder: Must have missed your post. What can you tell me about Chapman T7 and T77? Drivers, size, price. It is frustrating not being able to look something up online; looked another way, how spoiled we have become...

Macrojack: "nothing which has a crossover in the vocal range will compare".What frequencies qualify as vocal range? Do Salk, Tyler, Silverline etc. have a problem there?Which speakers have you compared Zu's against and which one was superior outsi...

Drseid: (1) I think Tyler uses dome and Salk ribbon tweeters. Did you feel any difference in the high end due to this? There have been suggestions here that ribbons are closer to electrostatic sound and image/soundstage better than domes, for just...
