| Coincident Eclipse vs Devore I've owned the super 8 and have listened to the nines on many occasions. You really have to spend some time deciding what it is about a speaker that draws you in to it. How does the Coincident paint the picture of the band? What is it that you lik... | |
| Have you seen this video? Very inspiring I've seen the core band and can only recommend trying to see them if they are around. Grandpa Elliot is amazing and the respect that this group of musicians and journalists have for music is truly intense. Many thumbs up. | |
| How is your power bill? I live in New England so utilities are expensive. We have managed to save with a highly insulated home with active and passive solar. I'm working on a biodiesel cogeneration system that will get us well off the grid. | |

| Which Integrated tube amp? I wouldn't look for a random amp and then try to pair speakers to it. This seems like a huge waste of energy. I could understand this approach if you listened to five 300B amps with different speakers and the 300b sound was "The One."I suggest lis... | |
| Mastersound Amps. Anything similar you'd recommend Compact 845 listed today. I'd love to put this amp up against my Avatar SE for a month or two. Anyone willing to give me a bridge loan? | |

| Loss of bass in Audio research vsi 55 The Audio Research folks that answer the phone are really nice and helpful. If they can't answer your question they transfer you to someone that can (they seem to check to make sure that person can take the call too.) I've only called a few times ... | |
| Double width studs for isolation? Construction and insulation are most often left to idiots that build homes costing hundreds of dollars to heat or cool. Look to green building practices because they tend to match audiophile needs. Good houses are solid (Thermal mass), sealed, hig... |
