Please help an aging, music deprived mom
A Creek integrated for drive. Maybe one of the 4330 MKII can be found at around $450 as well as any competent tuner, even a vintage Scott that has been aligned will give you music 'til other things might go. PS: Unbelievable that others did not re... 
Cheap reliable 100 wpc tube amps
I used to have the Sonic Frontiers Power 2, excellent sound quality and built to high standards, cannot be beat for around 2K range. The sub 1K power amps, I wonder whether they will keep up with the sonic signature of the newer amps. Some offerin... 
Minimalist companies: 47 labs, Scott Nixon,Decware
Linaeum, welcome to the future. Another company that is very reductionist, if you want to call minimalist is Final Laboratories. They produce a series of components that are battery powered, kiss goodbye to power cords, power conditioners, other v... 
Amplifier For Martin Logan CLSIIZ?
The reference for Gilbert Young of Blue Circle were the CLZII paired with his now, out of production BC-2 SS monoblocks...which are hybrid. When I had them, they used to produce prodigious amounts of heat, and were quite heavy for the specified wa... 
I made a pair of Voigt pipes and
Sean, regardless, the website is very well done. Just wish that it had some specific plans and measurements for the main cabinet. The wings, I am able to get the concept upright now.PAUL 
I made a pair of Voigt pipes and
Sean, was that your website or someone else's? It was very nicely done. What I would like to see are some specific diagrams for easy making of the main speaker enclosure. I have been also attracted to the Jordan drivers, mainly because of the cost...

Shirasagi, check my reply to your post, that was posted as another thread by mistake! 
WHOA This isn't what I expected.
Pa-5 and Pa-7 are different, soundwise. Not to continue trashing the PA-7s, but for what is worth, it does not sound horrible, per se, but it does not have the stamina to be expected for the mass of the amp. There are those out there that swear by... 
WHOA This isn't what I expected.
I had the Nak PA-7 about three years ago. I do not know the load that the Betas present, but I would be very, very careful to attempt to drive them to very high levels, for what I remember is that they were not necessarily as powerful or capable o... 
Counterpoint SA-5000 or First Sound Presence Pre
Seems to me that First Sound sounds in the league to compete with the best out there...I mean Lamm, Joule Electra among the others. Reliability is a non issue...while Counterpoint products do seem to have some sort of issues with this. Not in the ... 
Suggestions on SS/Mono Amps for woofer towers
Perreaux 5150...was the stated model. 
Suggestions on SS/Mono Amps for woofer towers
There was a similar thread that asked the same question. The RS1B owner actually wound up with an old Perreaux amp, vintage 1980s....It supposedly gave slamm that nothing else ever could. I forgot the model. The thread is this past month's. Look f... 
Are my Virgos efficient enough?
I forgot, I have a powered subwoofer with a 850 watts class D amp driving the low end, so now, there is SET and slam when needed. I have also watched quite a few movies in this set up and how Gregm said, there is an intangible something about low ... 
Are my Virgos efficient enough?
If you love the Virgos and are getting new low powered amps, why not look for speakers that are not necessarily expensive but will mate well with the Krs? A pair of fullrange single driver speakers seem to be on call here. I recommend those that u...
