Is the Accuton driver that good?
Fiddler, not doubting your happiness with your current speakers, but if you have`nt tried the PHY-HP drivers yet how can you reach a conclusion? Do you have the 8' or 12' PHY drivers?If your ceramics are indeed more natural than a well implemented... 
Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps?
Jagdynamics,I don`t sense any hate for classD amps in this thread at all. People have heard or tried some and just prefer something else. If you`ve found an amp you love and it happens to be classD then feel fortunate, we all have different taste ... 
Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps?
kijanski and Krell man,I understand your objections more clearly now. High End audio is hopelessly subjective and we all just like what we like. I love SET amps but realize they`re not everyone`s cup of tea. 
Coincident Frankenstein SET and Avantgarde
Brf,The Coincident Total Eclipse is quite the speaker, I have no doubt it sounds fabulous driven by your Lamm SET smps. 
Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps?
Kijanski and Krellman,Why be so defensive? It`s a free market with many choices of amplifiers to choose among. If you prefer class D amps that`s a personal preference, nothing more or less. Others have tried them and found better sound elsewhere(n... 
Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps?
I don`t agree that "all" class D amps suck, but they are not ideal for all speaker types(no amp is). I do believe that for Zu speakers in general they`re at their best with good quality low-moderate power tube amps(SET,OTL orpush-pull). Also one o... 
Coincident Frankenstein SET and Avantgarde
Brf,sorry about your unfortunate experience with an earlier model Frankenstein,it`s completely different from my MarkII version experinces. I`ve not read of other owners with your same complaint at all(numerous archives) but stuff happens even if ...

Devilboy.The Coincident Pure Reference/Extreme use this driver and work very well with low powered SET amplifiers. 
Coincident Frankenstein SET and Avantgarde
Maril555,I don`t own the the Avantgarde but it 1s certainly a highly regarded speaker, I would imagine deservedly so.The Frankenstein MarkII I know well(really well) as I`ve owned it the past 21 months, it`s in use practically every day for hours ... 
Is the Accuton driver that good?
Hi Montejay,I `d love to directly compare an Accuton driver speaker and a PHY-HP 12" driver(considered supremely natural and organic with paper cone) with your Frankenstein amp. That would very interesting. 
Shuguang Treasure tubes....
I agree with Wig, this tube will get better with further breakin hours, be patient. 
Tenor 75 Wi OTL
Glory,You`re quite happy with the wonderful performance of your system, can you leave well enough alone and resist the urge to monkey around with it anymore? LOL. 
Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp
Firochromis,I`m glad you had the opprotunity to hear the Frankenstein MarkII under the best conditions(your own system!). It`s truly a brilliant SET amplifier. I wish you the best of luck in obtaining one soon.Although you may not be looking for a... 
Have 300b MB want a killer pair of Hi-Eff speakers
Sibelius,Thanks for the information, I had no idea a 12 inch driver could perform that far up the frequency range. It`s sad that the maker of this great driver, MR. Bernard Salabert has recently passed on. He was a one man operation(for the most p... 
Have 300b MB want a killer pair of Hi-Eff speakers
Silbelius,What is the crossover point from the PHY driver to the ribbon tweeter?`ve read that it`s seamless. How is this speaker with acoustic(non amplified) jazz instruments?Thanks,
