Alnico Tweeter Replacements for Alon Vs
The tweeters are the original pairs and Alon offered an upgraded tweeter and woofer. My woofers are upgraded but I never did the tweeters. The newer tweeter upgrades have alnico magnet structures. I was hopig to find someone who knows who manufact... 
Alnico Tweeter Replacements for Alon Vs
Yes I have read about mfgs rebuilding the tweeters so I am looking for anyone who may know if this is true, or how much the sound changes, or who supplies the tweeters and the model numbers. Or even if the upgrade is really worth it.I checked with... 
Alnico Tweeter Replacements for Alon Vs
RussWhen I spoke to Alon they were only saying that I would solder in the tweeters with the Alnico magnets and told me that there were two wires to solder on each, nothing about any cross-over parts being istalled. I will check with them again. 
Buggtussel Speakers - heard 'em?
Gmood1,Yep that is what I heard, cannot push them to hard or at louder volumes but if you listen at reasonable levels and have easy speakers to drive then for $700 bucks you are in. They have an organic sound and nice soundstage but won't be the b... 
Buggtussel Speakers - heard 'em?
I have heard them twice at a dealer frined of mine here in New Jersey. The ones I heard where the $7K models, forget the name. He had the Atma mono blocks on them and then these little digitla amps 100 wpc called the flying moles ($700 for the pai... 
Fastest high-current SS amp below $1000 used?
The Sim Audio W-5 is a fast sounding amp and has great bass control for your slow woofers. Under $1000 try on of the McCOrmack DNA-1s.Happy Listening. 
Matching amp for Talon Khorus
The Parasound JC-1s, Sim Audio amps, Belles mono amps, Bryston mono amps would all work well with the Talons.Happy Listening. 
sonus faber cremona vs jmlab mezzo utopia.
The Cremona is a very warm sounding speaker especially in the mids, it will lack some of the details and bass slam of the JM Labs. It depends on your musical preference and what equipment you have in yor system. The Sonus require some watts to mak... 
Comments on Electrocompaniet ECD1
Agree with Danlib1, I have the Electro on my SOny SCD-777ES and it was clearly better than the stock Sony as described above. The AL 2400 and Chord 64 were even better but not at the used price of $1300 or so. The improvements were not that huge o...

Pass Labs X-350 vs Parasound JC-1 Monoblocks?
Marty loves the X-250 and the Edge NL-10 amps for different speakers, this is about synergy with amps and speakers. The X-250 has some sparkle on top and with the right speakers, sound fantastic, with other, OK. Looking at your system, you would p... 
B&W 804 with ???
Are your 804 matrix or N series speakers? B&Ws are not bright speakers. The Halfer amp can be reasonably moded by Musical Concepts and they would sound great. I would say experiment first with the Halfer mod. B&Ws generally come alive with... 
Speakers for under $10k used?
F155mph,Synergy with the amp is the first step to better sound, unless you are planning to buy the speakers and built your system around them. You need to be more specific, there is no best of anything out there, good sound comes from system syner... 
Experience with Sony SACD as transports or other?
Brooks1,Thanks I have been to Russ P's home and heard his system, fantastic, but the mod that I heard at the time used the AL DAC and bypassed the Sonys digi output altogether.Happy Listening. 
Birdland DAC
Fuuny you should ask, I have the Birdland DAC with the Volume control in my system for an audition right now. I have also had teh Wavelength, Electrocompaniet, Audio Logic 2400 and Chord 64 DACs. The higher priced DACs are better than the Birdland...
