What music do you want to play really loud?
My Bloody Valentine--Loveless 
Best bass response in under $1500 used towers
Soliloquy 6.3They have a bass response of 25Hz. Not quite as low as the NHT (22Hz), but something to consider depending upon your choice of amplifiers, and preference in sound.Good luck in your search! 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Wish I could be there.My request is that before you render your individual and/or consensus evaluation, would each of you please answer the following questions:1) What kind of music do you predominantly listen to?2) What do you listen for while ev... 
Any heard/heard of Whest DAP.10 R processor?
James and I have corresponded twice more today, and all was cordial. He saw no reason to post his responses, so I won't.Perhaps in the future I'll have a chance to test out the DAP.10 for real, and I anticipate being enamored with its merits just ... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
This is the longest 7th inning stretch ever. Let's get back to the game? Avguru, what's next? 
Any heard/heard of Whest DAP.10 R processor?
Rob,I did in fact hear from James today, as he apparently had been alerted to my post on this forum. I told him that I would be happy to post his e-mail as well, but only if he OK'd it first. However, I think that from my response to him (below), ... 
Any heard/heard of Whest DAP.10 R processor?
This is a follow-up to my brief experience with the Whest DAP.10. I say brief because I ordered the unit several weeks ago from Audio Advisor, and when I received it on the 7th of this month, it was not working. It is in fact on the way back now t... 
Audio Aero Prima vs. Resolution Audio Opus 21
All clear now.Thank you both. 
Anyone from the Greater Detroit Area remember this
I grew up hearing stories from my parents (they went to Mumford High) about the weekend Motown Review. They used to attend regularly. Now it's all beginning to make sense. They had nothing but Motown in their record collection. Then we moved to Ca... 
Audio Aero Prima vs. Resolution Audio Opus 21
Just to clarify this, if I ran the standard RCA or XLR on the Opus 21 into a preamp, would I have any issue with the volume control on the unit--since I have not bypassed it with the DIN connector?

Lrsky,Are you by chance referring to my all-time favorite player, the balletic Julius Erving? Love that move he made soaring underneath the basket and virtually out of bounds, only to hook the ball under the opposite side for the score. And his co... 
Meadowlark Kestrel II vs. Soliloquy 6.2
Well, Tojman, I just knew there was another speaker I needed to hear. Making a mental note...TYLER.Thank you,Howard 
Meadowlark Kestrel II vs. Soliloquy 6.2
Wdi,I should say that we have a SET amp/horn system, with 104dB speakers. Many of the cables, power boxes, and even power conditioners have had the effect of veiling the sound, making it seem like the highs are simply smoothed over. So I can't ima... 
Meadowlark Kestrel II vs. Soliloquy 6.2
Tojman,You really found a 30Hz speaker to have "no bass at all"? I'm guessing that you had them for more than the 300-500 hour break-in period, yes? Because during that initial period, the treble glares harshly and the bass is anemic. Afterwards, ... 
Acapella Versus Avantgarde
According to the Aaudio Imports web site, the Acapella Violon ($35K) is twice the price of the AG Duo. By that alone, wouldn't you expect considerably more from it than the AG? As Mike from Audio Federation suggests, the visual similarities betwee...
