Small room electrostat/ planar speaker?
Well it is tempting but I do need a 100 Hz crossover point. The AirSpring woofer system I use was designed by Roger Modjeski and the crossover is the Beveridge RM-3 (also designed by Roger) with 100 Hz 4th order Link-Witz Reilly low pass filter (3... 
Small room electrostat/ planar speaker?
I'd be much more interested in these speakers if I could use my active crossover with 100 Hz high pass and low pass boards with them. I would send the high pass signal through my tube amp to the panel of the LFT-8b, then the low pass through my so... 
Oomph or pressure?
The complaints often leveled against “passives” relate to problems with dynamics and drive, as others have mentioned, but those complaints pertain to resistor-based passives, not magnetics. I have resistive, opto-coupler, photo cell, transformer... 
Preamp to Headphone transformers?
I actually use a Stax SRD-7 that connects to the speaker binding posts of my amp. The SRD-7 allows me to switch between speakers and headphones. I have another device that allows me to do the same with dynamic headphones, but no switch so I have t...

Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy!
You can buy all the parts necessary for your Quad 57s on eBay or directly from Kent at ESL. You would need the protection circuit board and while you are in there might as well install an upgraded power supply board. The parts are reasonably price... 
The New Spendor Classic 1/2
I've also been a long time Spendor owner having started with 3/1, then 7/1, and finally 1/2e. I had my first pair of 1/2e for 6 years and then just recently repurchased a set. I see the new version has some significant changes to it and while I ha... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Thanks George, what about a battery PS. 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
I had some time to kill so I decided to re-red this entire thread (I sure do miss Paul). I'm not on Audiogon much anymore, but have to say that the Lightspeed is still with me and getting its fair share of use. I've been looking to upgrade the PS ... 
Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions?
I bought one of these several years ago and started this thread about it:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/all-i-want-is-the-truth-just-gimme-some-truth That being said mine now needs to find a good home.  
Tekton Double Impacts
I was the Audiogon member that greg22lz referenced. I will say this about the DI's, in addition to being a great value, I think they could be one of the most versatile speakers I have heard when it comes to amp/speaker matching. We listened to a h... 
On/Off switch for RM_9 Mk1 does anyone know the voltage that isneeded for switch?
No problem Eric. Also Roger and Ryan are usually at the shop from 1pm to 7pm PT M - F. I'm there usually after 2pm PT but not every weekday. Saturday and Sunday and spend a bit more time there. 
On/Off switch for RM_9 Mk1 does anyone know the voltage that isneeded for switch?
If you're Troy and left us a message the other day we'll be getting back to you tomorrow. We have switches but need some additional information. bdp24 - that's my old number. I now have a Bay Area number.  
Pairing Planar Speakers With A Subwoofer (Eminent Technology)
I don't know much about the Eminent speakers but they have always intrigued me. I currently have two sets of ESLs. Quad ESL 57s and Music Reference ESLs. I shied away from subwoofers because I thought they made things a bit too complex and I never...
