What does one purchase after owning horns?
Hi Weseixas,if you have heard an AG horn you will find a sound like a electrostatic speaker on steroids. No honking nonsense. Coloration is some myth due to some old rubbish horns made by someone else. Be clear on that.I plugged in my Apogees not ...

Madhf,Having owned both the apogee diva & duetta sigs, & had them modified with all the latest ribbons & crossovers I can assure you these will not apply. Great as they can be. The Diva being the least dynamic.I think what some people ... 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
Vicdamone,There is a bit of an issue where the sub meets the mid hornon the Uno. To be honest since I have had the Trio I find the UNO & the Duo to be weak in that area. It is only due to the sub cut off being so high. Even so both are difficu...

Shadorne,surely if that were the case every recording studio would have electrostatic speakers. Advancements have been made in all areas in of hifi since those days. Many studios have compromised monitors for good reason. Anyone remember the NS 10?

Vintage Levinson DACs

Is the Phile sound an Aquired taste.
It is all dependent on the interaction between your speakers and your amp. If your speaker is sensitive enough these amplifier trade offs are less important.Each amplifier type has its own sound, but much of this is dictated by the speaker it is a... 
amarra or pure music..?
Hi Tvad,the party I meant was the one financed with the cash for selling the CDP. Hopefully sold in time for it to be a real good party rather than a burger and fries! 
Synth/Electronic LP recommendations
Kraftwerk-"Tour de France soundtracks" obviously! There are also remasters of all their back catalogue. Worth a listen.Some Human league. Anything around "Dare" and before.Massive Attack- "Mezzanine", and maybe "Heligoland" although more dark hip ... 
amarra or pure music..?
Haha Tvad,make sure that hair shirt doesnt fit too well. I guess it is like any other format or equipment set up. There is a certain amount of investment in time and effort before you can yield great things.As a fellow contrarian in many aspects o...
