| Speaker Audition Have a look at the GR Research-Line Force with Servo Subs. Some DYI but not impractical. Line source and line array, efficient cutting edge. I believe without servos,12K. I’m drooling. | |
| Opinions!! Could try OB’s. PureAudioProject Quintets, Trios, Jump in at any size. Upgradable without loss of investment, efficient, Just ask VPI, Whammerdyne, and more that use them to demo their own products. Says a lot. Once heard, not easily forgotten. | |

| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? Tice clock. Vpi magic brick. Seriously, As smandlej above, Michell Gyrodec Full Plinth, SME V arm, remove the bridge, full Gert Pedersen mod takes it to another level. | |
