| Nakamichi 505 or the Dragon ? Most of the information is dead on. I've owned 5 Nak decks and while I've not owned the Dragon, am all too familiar with a less than dependable record. When aligned and tuned to a knat's ass it is incredible. You will not need to fidgit with the 5... | |

| Newbie with $1500 and a wife pushing for Bose NAD L 70, Aperion speaks. Done. Simple, respectable. | |
| Best amps for full range electrostatic loudspeaker The OTL amps are a great suggestion IF you can afford them. Another are the larger VTL monoblocks. Run them in triode for best results and you'll need about 90wpc in that mode. | |
| HELP Best way to ship 160 lbs. speaker? The challenge here is the transporting from your house to the shipper. Two large guys (or girls) with a pickup might accomplish this. My pick would be Greyhound as they ship reasonably, often overnight. However, the receiving party must retrieve f... | |
| Best-front ported monitor speakers? ATC SCM 12s, British, more open and natural than Spendors, non-ported, difficult to drive properly (code: inefficient)yet probably the most detailed and natural cone speaker I've every heard. Benchmark of simplicity. | |
