New Advent woofers?
Sean,I always wondered about that. The original foam wasn't like the replacement and it did result in an audible difference and I can't really say for the better. Simplyspeakers says these are OEM replacement woofers. However, the magnet structure... 
Audience Au24 speaker cables with Vandersteen
I think if you talk to Audience, they will tell you that Vandersteen's are an exception to their thought on this. I would biwire them no matter what I used.By the way, what changes did you notice switching from the HT PSW III cables to the Au24's?... 
New Advent woofers?
www.simplyspeakers.com carries OEM Large Advent woofers. They also have the foam repair, etc. They were a repair facility for Advent, AR, KLH, etc back when. 
Whatever happened to REAL "owners manuals" ???
Most of the old Heathkit and Dynaco stuff came with a good manual describing the circuits and the why and why nots. Nowadays, you can't even get a decent specifications page.Some of these AV receivers come with a small novel that needs a manual te... 
Advice Please : DIY acoustic panels
I take acoustic (fiberglass) ceiling tiles, strip the white off and layer them in a frame made out of 1/4" x 2" deep oak 2' x 4'(I stain the oak for looks.) I place three of the 5/8" layers in between the frame and (staple)cover in a grille cloth ... 
Interconnect cables for Audible Illusions L2
I have been using harmonic technology Prosilway III's with very good success driving an Ayre V5x. This combination came highly recommended by several dealers.

He's looking at Maggies. The cd player came from Audio Warehouse---had a few nuts and bolts rattling around inside. The BIG dog got me another one.Going to be interesting how he slips those babies by Dale if you know what I mean!

Joe, good to see you back. It has finally started raining again. Hadn't rained in so long the ocean was going down! Audiowill is selling his Spendors---that's you---right. By the way, know of a good attorney? Audiowill sold me a bum CD player! 
Audible Illusions L-2 vs. Cary SLP-98
As I mentioned, I have never heard of someone using $300 tubes in THIS PREAMP. Most of the "Exotic" tubes will not hold up and are therefore left for other preamps. It's like everything else, you can pay a wad and it not perform any better---just ... 
Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10
I don't believe the larger Ayre amp sounds as good as the V5x.

No, you still use both speaker inputs on the back of the speaker and insert the high pass filter in line between the preamp and power amp. 
Audible Illusions L-2 vs. Cary SLP-98
I'm glad Jerry spoke up about the tubes. I have an L-2 and have never had a tube failure. The Audible preamps allow you to readily hear the differences in tubes but I too have never heard of $300 tubes for this preamp. I have owned an AI preamp fo...

Amplifier reviews from Hardesty's
Atagi, I ordered the Ayre today. I had to search around for a dealer since there's not one in this state. Anyway, it is being drop shipped and should be here within a week. Once I get it run in, I certainly post a thread on my impressions of it. H...
