What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?
Dahlquists certainly gets alot of mention.  I loved the DQ 10 but couldn't afford it when they came out! 
de Havilland Mercury 3 preamplifier review
Kara is a great  audio  designer and I have heard both her amps and preamps in various shows and systems.   Always musical and extremely well built.  She is also extremely responsive to any inquiries to her products.  I am sure her support of her ... 
Is there anyone out there who knows anything about Essence Speakers by Dale Pitcher?
Every time I think about possibly upgrading my Gamma Delta's I realize how great sounding they are and a possible upgrade might not actually be a upgrade.  How much in today's dollars would it take to better the Gammas?  Dale certainly knew what h...
