New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review
One should choose speakers based on their own ears, not those of reviewers, professional or otherwise. As for these speakers being great bargains, they may well be. But I have heard that song before.Selecting speakers based on other people's prefe... 
New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review
I hope you enjoy your speakers; many sources say the man is a great designer.My problem with Tekton is their business model. If I want to compare two or three of their models... I can't! Well I can if I want to pay multiple return shipping costs w... 
What amp should I buy to power Martin Logan Esl's?

Looking for warmth

The Sony 2000 (originally $1,000 I think)has all that and more. I'll send you more detailed specs and photos if you think you might want to go in that direction.

Which Mono block amps for ML Summit Speakers?

The question "The Acoustat Delema"
