At least one person is using this beast to drive his Sound Labs, which means the amp is quite capable of driving a v... | |
| Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker? Albert -I called Buggstussel and the Buggtussellians said they never got your e-mail. They said they check their e-mail five times a day. Anyway hope you don't mind but I passed along your phone number.Duke | |
| Which amp offer free trial at home? Bigboy -If I were you, I'd fire off an e-mail to Jtinn and find out about an in-home audition of the Tenor amps. Tenor makes a helluva fine amplifier, and one that should work quite well with the Khorus. I sell a few amps that would work also, and... | |

| Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker? At CES 2001 and 2002 the Buggtussels were among the speakers that impressed me most, particularly on voice and solo piano. They are very fast and articulate, and give a lively presentation more reminiscent of say a jazz club than a symphony concer... | |

| monitor or floorstander? Greetings Fujindemon,You raise some interesting points in your post. First let me say that your dealer has some very nice speakers in his lineup. I used to design and build speakers as a hobby (almost went commercial once), and I've been a dealer ... | |
| BG ribbons vs. Carver ribbons Maxwell, I haven't owned either speaker, but I don't think there is any difference in their operating principles. To the best of my knowledge, they both use a thin metal ribbon conductor on a mylar membrane operated push-pull between two rows of m... | |
| which dynamic speaker has quads fab mid presence Greetings Don222,That's a tall order you're trying to fill. I can't think of a tougher act to follow than trying to match the original Quads in the midrange. Subsequent Quads fall short, as does just about everything else out there. When I go arou... | |
