VTL 450 Signature and Soundlab A1
Hi Brimac, feel free to drop me a line, as I can put you in touch with a fellow driving his Sound Labs with VTL 450s and is happy with the sound.Brian 
what solid state amps for the soundlab u-1
The U-2 has the same radiating area as the M-3, but it has a tubular steel frame similar to the U-1 though smaller in diameter, hence somewhat less rigid although the panel is smaller. Nealhood is correct, Sound Lab will build U-2s or most of thei... 
what solid state amps for the soundlab u-1
Don't know why my two previous attempts to post to this thread didn't make it, but I'll try again.Audfile74: A pair of Sound Lab U-2s (similar in size to M-3s) I sold were driven by an Innersound ESL-300 amp, which is capable of driving the speake... 
Can you ever go back and be happy?
Aroma, I didn't know BMW made speakers :-) Some of what you said is quite accurate. As for Albert, only he can decide, but I have reason to believe the jury's still out.Brian 
Can you ever go back and be happy?
John (Jafox): Let me know next time you'll be down toward Chicago, and maybe the fellow who owns that system will let us come over :-)Brian 
Can you ever go back and be happy?
Norm, the company out of Florida you're probably trying to think of is Acoustat. I see you've owned a few speakers :-) all of which I've heard except the Servo-Statiks. I've found those which employ a flat profile are more prone to the 'wide mouth...

Best Dac/Transport Under 50,000
Raquel, the US distributor of EMM is Philip O'Hanlon in California.The Reimyo is a good suggestion. Audiomeca Mephisto also may be of interest.Brian 
Callisto Sig with 1 PS vs MP1 Atma-Sphere
Please describe the rest of your system in which it would be used.Brian 
Does digital affect analog sound??
It isn't your imagination. Analog can be adversely affected by noise put back into the system, i.e. a backwave. Proper line filtering can take it out.Brian 
Quad vs. Martin Logan?
I have owned several electrostats, including Acoustat 2+2s and Audiostatic ES100+SW100s. I still own Quad ESL 57s as well as Sound Labs which I own and am a dealer for. I have listened to most of the other speakers mentioned and always find myself... 
What is the MOST audiophile friendly city ???
Chicago's not bad :-) 
CAT JL2 & Pre SL1 or Atma-Sphere MA-1 & MP-1
The Coincidents are an excellent match with Atma-Sphere electronics. An MP-3 or MP-1 preamp is a synergistic match with the MA-1s - the special caps option for the preamp is recommended. I haven't compared either with the CAT preamp so can't comme... 
A question to you all........
Rwd, I wouldn't expect Sound Lab to be there. Normally they do one show a year, the CES. Your best option is to contact Sound Lab who may refer you to your nearest dealer. We're an accommodating lot :-)
