Essence Super Gem Speakers
There is a pair of sale on US Audiomart. He has them listed as pick up only and is in Illinois. They have been for sale for quite a while. He is including an expensive set of stands with them, but I think the price is still a bit high. They are a ... 
Integrated for Legacy Audio Focus SE's
Legacy used to display with Coda. Coda used to produce the Legacy amps when they were class AB designs. Consider the Coda CSiB, it should drive them just fine. 400 WPC into 8 ohms, 800 WPC into 4 ohms. 
Greatest Audiogon Audiophiles ever and the GOAT
Geoff, we miss you! Speak for yourself roberjerman. Number of posts has nothing to do with it.Another vote for Almarg. 
Critical subwoofer tip
The waves would not reach your ears at the time even if they started at the same point as they are different lengths. When I was in the Navy, this was known as a gross conceptual error (GCE). You get zero points for the answer. Better luck next... 
Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way?
I owned the Tyler Acoustics Taylo 7U. They just sounded blah. They played all of the notes and none of the music. I have owned the Linbrook Super Tower and heard many speaker from the Tyler that I liked at shows. Just not the 7U.  
Is there anyone out there who knows anything about Essence Speakers by Dale Pitcher?
My understanding is that there were two versions of the Topaz 6. The version I own had separate enclosures for the woofer, midrange, tweeter, and super tweeter. They stacked on each other, with the tweeter assemblies in a cradle. The enclosure was...

IMO, $1000 is a touch on the high side. If they don't have the wave launch charts, it would be a no go. They can't be properly set up without the charts. 
Help Please With A Replacement For Old Aragon Amp.
My advice is to not put anything between the wall outlet and the Aragon other than a power cord. If that means a different power cord, then that is what I would do. I would think a Signal Cable Magic Power in the appropriate length would be fine t... 
Help Please With A Replacement For Old Aragon Amp.
Plug the Aragon directly into the wall. As much as the manufacturer of the conditioner say that it doesn't limit current, they usually do. It costs nothing to try out. I have owned multiple Aragon amps and tried this a couple of different times. E... 
Class D
No zooming required George. All you have to do is be able to see. Free advertising with every post and you complain about others. Not a chance in hell I would shill for you.  
Class D
At least companies that use GaN like Orchard Audio, AGD ect don’t come here behaving like them. George's complete lack of self awareness to his own behavior is astonishing. Absolutely one of the worst offenders. None of the others have the prod... 
Aragon 24k humming on left channel
Sybesma's electronics in Holland Michigan used to repair Aragon and Acurus gear. I am not sure if this is still the case, but you contact them and find out. 
We spend too much time talking about tweeters
Personally I’m MUCH more interested in how well the midwoofer and tweeter work TOGETHER than in the solo performance of either. A+++. I heard another speaker designer put it this way. The tweeter illuminates the midrange. They must work correct... 
High Frequency Oscillation hurt resistors in Magico A5 crossovers
The trite explanation you received sounds like it was from a low tier employee. Maybe it was EBM. 
What did your system look like 30 years ago?
