Moving to a dynamic speaker from a Electrostatic
Having Sound Labs here as well as others including Duke LeJeune's AudioKinesis Zephrin 46s, I find the latter extremely satisfying and easy to live with. It would be well worth your while to check them out.

Understood since the holidays are upon us. I'll be here and will be happy to let you audition anything you like. 
Requesting info on Audio Kinesis ZEPHRIN Speakers
Roscoeiii, thanks for the kind words! I'd love for you to come for a listen soon. I'm delighted to say Scifi just wrote me a check for a pair of Zephrins that'll be coming his way next month and know he will be thrilled with them. Looking forward ... 
Requesting info on Audio Kinesis ZEPHRIN Speakers
Hi Scifi,Located in the Chicago area, I'm certainly your nearest AK dealer, and I have the Zephrin 46s on display here which you are most welcome to audition. Tomorrow (Saturday) I'm pretty booked up, but almost any other time is good.The pair her... 
This might just be the end of brick and mortar
Dill, very well stated. Even mail order retailers can't and won't give carte blanche full refunds, and even when a full refund is given, the shipping and handling fee is deducted, plus you have to take care of return shipping, which many consider ... 
Don't you just hate it when---
Oilmanmojo, he is not at all inclined to do any such thing, nor am I. At this point, as it has been, the 'table sits idle. He might consider selling it but has a lot in it. It's a project for someone willing to pay a lot, and that's not about to h... 
Don't you just hate it when---
Anyone considering an Apollo would be wise to contact Lloyd Walker about platter bearing replacement cost, whenever needed, as it is likely to be prohibitive. As far as I know he is the only person who could provide it. I know someone with a very ... 
Soundlab speakers with sub woofers?
Mrmb heard the MA-1s and MA-2s here on the U-1PXs several months ago in our large custom designed, acoustically symmetric room. Since that time the speaker positioning has been improved, yielding better imaging and mid bass, along with a significa... 
AMR DP 777 or LampizatOr Level 5
A final preproduction AMR DP-777 SE was shown at RMAF at their booth in the canjam area. I understand the SE should be available in November, as well as the upgrades for existing DP-777s. 
RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss
Mapman, yes, AudioKinesis was there, demonstrating the Zephrin 46s driven by an Atma-Sphere S-30, and as one of their dealers I spent some time in the room. I drive my pair with M-60s. 
Tube Friendly High End "Big" speakers
Hi Bgupton,Big windows like that can be a challenge with a lot of speakers, but I totally get that you don't want to lose the glorious views. The room is probably too small for the Classic Audio T-1.4s, but the T-3s with field coil drivers could d... 
Anyone going to RMAF this year?
Here is a link to access the Excel file from the website to which Realremo referred (thanks).The link button is at the bottom of the exhibitors list page on the site. 
New Vandersteen oil cooled hybrid amplifiers
Rpeluso: Spot on!A speaker manufacturer who starts making amplifiers tends to damage relations with amplifier manufacturers with whom they have worked in the past, hurting themselves. Time will tell, but I expect Vandersteen is aware of the risk. ... 
Basis Audio Super Arm 9
A customer just ordered a Kuzma 4Point to replace his Phantom II, to be mounted on his Basis Debut with a custom adapter I designed. Can't wait for his reaction and figure he'll be losing a lot of sleep :) 
Soundlabs London/UK/Europe
I responded to your post on the SLOG site. Once you hear a proper Sound Lab system...Atmasphere is right. People should avail themselves of the opportunity to audition the product(s) of interest rather than buying blind. The latter can become very...
