| Speaker upgrade If you are not married to dynamic drivers there is the new Martin Logan Summit. Burning in a pair right now. Sound great so far but need to mellow a little as do all electrostats when new. Was very pessimistic about the powered woofers but they ha... | |

| Klipsch Vs. NHT NHT 2.5i pops up here sometimes. Killer speaker.Wouldn't waste my money on the T5 but the SB3 is great for HT. Get five identical speakers that respond to 39Hz. THey are also wall mountable if you so desire. Big bang for the buck.Good luck! | |

| Mini monitors? Spendor LS3/5A (or any LS3/5A). Great mini with surprising bass output for its size. Not even close to full range but darned enjoyable to listen to. | |
| phono preamps with a subsonic filter? Cambridge Audio has two models (one w/subsonic filter)Pro-Ject has a couple with subsonic filter | |
| Do electrostatic speakers "break down" in time? no, no, no. If you poke lots of holes in the panel you are only halfway to audio nirvana. You have to add cable lifters and one of those "beaks" from Totem to your transport. I think that the hole poking test was supposed to calm fearful parents o... | |
