Amp to Add Dynamics & Detail to 'Polite' Speakers
You may not change their character but you may very well change/realize their potential. 
Amp to Add Dynamics & Detail to 'Polite' Speakers
Find yourself an Acoustat TNT200 and have it rebuilt by Roy Esposito at Sounds Like New in Florida. It'll cost about $1,500 total + shipping and you'll have an amp rivaling anything up to $20,000.00. Characteristics are over the top in what you're... 
Poor recordings that are now great.
I have them all on vinyl and cd. Not one on cd sounds better than the vinyl, remastered or not, with the exception of America's greatest hits. Don't know what it is, but that one is fabulous.Anyway, I thought it would be a good thread in identifyi...

Doomed to what? I'm ready to debate till the cows come home. This is a different kind of fun.

Not sure but, is that not 'united' we stand? Just because we're together doesn't mean we're united, right? I love a good debate:) 
Has anyone tried an amp from Class D Audio?
Just curious about class D? Have you checked out Aspen? Not class D but a world class contender. 
Has anyone tried an amp from Class D Audio?
Hypex N-Core is the leading edge in class D, apparently. 
Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden
The fact is we all do know the truth and you've been careful enough in your analysis to ward off a heretic's or fanatic's badge. Do some research into the true character and positions of authority of your founding fathers and things will fall into...
