Long Live 2 Channel audio......???
You have to use room treatment to set up 2 channel correctly too, IM strongest O.

How many hours did you put on the BPS, and how long did you own the Dynavector, mr. "opine"? "Fear"?

Audiogon: surely Phill isn't still here, is he?

I haven't seen the specs on the particular ceramic midrange that is in the Kharmas (it's not Accuton, it's supposedly much better), but I can tell you that the Accuton ceramic drivers are not any faster than the Esotar mid. In fact, their moving m... 
The BEST system you've ever built !!!!
If your initials are "SD", and you aren't in the "continental" US, we have a mutual acquaintance.

I'm still in the planning stages of a speaker project that will use the Dynaudio Esotar midrange, and I feel that this speaker will have better midrange than all the rest. It's an unbelievable driver, and I won't be skimping on the "whole" versus ...

I liked my Sumiko BPS enough to buy a lot of vinyl, after hearing it. I then went to the Glider, and now the Lo4. I doubt the Dynavector "blows away" the BPS, but I haven't heard the Dynavector. If you wanna hear "blown away", you need to spend mo... 
Long Live 2 Channel audio......???
Yes, long live 2 channel audio! It amazes me that some typical "surround-for-music" buffs, or their leader J Gordon Holt, seem to look down on the rest of us music lovers, simply for our enjoyment of the two channel format. Personally, I feel that... 
Interconnects be as neutral as possible?
Sean, I mostly agree; and that was very well said/thought out, also. It's nice to see others that have educated themselves in the ryhme and reason of cabling.

And yet that's just what will happen in a thread like this, isn't it? You can keep deleting my calls to ban Tm12, and I'll keep posting them. Ban Tm12. 
Speaker Rebuilding
Call or e-mail Meniscus Audio...or Madisound, and discuss it with them. Tell them the baffle (and driver cut-out) dimsensions, and the internal volume for the bass driver. Have them suggest drivers, and do a Leap crossover design for you. Meniscus... 
Power cords makes difference-Why?
Not usually. You just have to try different ones, until you find a match, that lets the system perform optimally in all parameters. It's not easy, and takes much time.

Audiogon, it's time to ban Phill.

There's nothing at all wrong with my source, it is reference quality. Yes, I've heard those same sentiments about Transparent. Perhaps the interconnect is just really bright, and the speaker cable is really dark. But then, that wouldn't explain an... 
Power cords makes difference-Why?
There's no simple answer to that. They all transfer current to varying degrees, and achieve noise filtration in different ways, and to different degrees. Also, the noise present in one's AC will vary from location to location, besides the manner i...
