What to do?
Sometimes patience can pay off. You will have to ponder about the possibility of ever getting the same quality and condition gear again. If you know that you have a system that is to your satisfaction, which is something very difficult to accompli... 
What does + or - in speaker binding translate to?
Merry Christmas to you Dave 
What does + or - in speaker binding translate to?
Sometimes, even I have to come out with some sort of questions or have puzzles. I have always wired, in the given situation, just as one of the posters had done, and had not had bad results with it, but then, as of late, I want to be more secure, ... 
SFL 2 recalibration/biasing
I had another thread similar to this. Look for post that I have written under BEMOPTI123.

Nakamichi ST7- Are these amps close to Threshold?
Used to own a used PA-7, and I dispute the question of quality and reliability. When I bought it, it was about 11 years old, and although it was not really cosmetically clean, it delivered, for its price, a quite decent sound quality with lots of ... 
Sonic Frontiers Pearl Tube Coolers Necessary?
Pearl Tube coolers did not come with my Power 2 either, and the dealer told me that they were not necessary. I think this is true because the only input tubes that seem to get really hot are the two front ones, which means, you should get some sor... 
Nakamichi PA7 versus PA7 II
Once had the PA 7, which I bought used. The sound is quite dynamic, supposedly better than the later model II. The PA 7 ran into class A, more than the PA 7II, which meant, a warmer sound than the PA 7II. Eventhough it had about 200W per channel, ... 
Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier?
I do not know if you are still reading this thread of not, but here it goes. I decided to make myself a pair of Voigt Pipes, as it was seen in a website. Materials for the cabinets might have cost me about $100 and the drivers, a pair of Fostex 20... 
Fedex Weekly Damage Report
It is not only FEDEX who does not want to pay, but I have an exceptional case when UPS refused to honor an insured item that was damaged when I received. A Dragon Tape Deck. I bought the item from an EBAY auction, and it went for $750, but when it... 
Will this set up work? biamping with different amps and subs
I would use the POWER 2, because I own them. In fact, I could even try to connect a pair of BC-2 Monoblocks to drive the sub, but I doubt it will have enough juice to run them loud enough. 
Help with bi-amping
I have an idea. I want to run my SET amp onto a pair of 96 db, full range speakers which I hand built and because it is bass shy, also want to connect my SONIC FRONTIERS POWER 2 to a pair of SW-1, GERSHMAN subs. The input to both amp will have to ... 
Sonic Frontiers Power 2 + Infinity Kappas=?
What solid state amp would you recommend to handle the bottom end or the full range of the Kappa 9? Used, contemporary of recent past? 
Help with Infinity IRS speakers.
If what was said in the two follow ups is true, you should think about getting a solid state amp with some muscle to power your speakers up. I have read about several people with Infinity Kappa 9s, which are very power hungry running them with ARA... 
Win over U.P.S.
Sad to say, I had also had problems with UPS. Bought an used Nakamichi Dragon through EBAY. I paid in full, what the person asked, nevertheless, it was strange to hear the pushing and shoving from that side...Nevertheless, I went through the deal ...
