Mapman, I thought you knew better than to start that debate again!Lol

All should kneel before the Avantgarde Trio. It has all you could ask for in a speaker.

surely high efficiency is over 95bd/watt? Can you really call 92db high efficiency? 
anyone heard the new Massive Attack yet?
It is still growing on me. I was confused on the first listen. 2nd listen was ah I see... 
MAGNAPAN MG-2 USERS
Look at the magnepan users club. MUG. I am sure there are a lot of ideas there for you. 
Any one else like the class D ICE power amps?
Thank you for ICE. A complete shift in what you get for your money. Goodbye heat sinks, wasted energy, fat murky sound, distortion, heavy lifting.I am a huge fan of the Bel canto flavor of ICE. Some very fine amps.

Have a look at the crossover and replace the components with better versions(caps/inductors). Rewire with point to point wiring rather than those terrible tags they used. The less connections the better.You will get much better bass and cleaner cl... 
Abbey Roads Studio Closing?
it is not being sold now. EMI are keeping it for the time being. 
TACT & Lyngdorf user satisfaction?
I had the Lyngdorf amp with built in room correctionfor a while. It did make for some of the best soundstaging and did work well. I found in my system at the time with Apogee ribbons that it equalized out a little too much bass for my taste overal... 
DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp?

DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp?

Abbey Roads Studio Closing?
Its a sign of just how far the music industry has fallen. Those large and great orchestral recording sessions in the UK for all those amazing musicians is now finally coming to an end.The recording process has completely changed since Abbey road s... 
Apogee Duetta vs Mangnepan 3.6r
I went from a modified Magnepan 3.6r (rebuilt xovers, rewired new terminals etc) to Duetta sigs which I completely refurbished and brought up to 21 century standards.If you go for it with the 3.6r and fix the xover and stands etc, you will have a ... 
DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp?
I have been searching for a great preamp for many years. I have yet to find THE one. But while I wait, my DCS plugged direct into the amps is by far the finest of sounds. Loud or soft.If you fancy rounding your sound or dumbing down your CD collec...

Rtn indeed, but never underestimate world class digital either. A nice suit may not need a warm coat in summer.
