The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt
Crem1Just opened the second Behringer last night which I now have running in bridged mode.So far it seems much punchier and more effortless.However, I have noticed some tizziness in my tweeters. For this system I am using monitors which supposedly... 
Audio Note Gaku-on
So for $125,000, it's a real bargain?

RaquelI dont know which Andy Singer you are referring to, but the dealer in NY has no interest in audio or music beyond the sound of a ringing cash register. 
Chesky Records & poor sevice,
RWI only met him once at a trade show, but if I were betting in Vegas, I would say that guy is already signed up to those sites you mention.Sorry to hear the service is bad at Chesky records. 
Great Speakers - More is More?
Unsound Back to Back? How would that work?More energy to both the front and rear?Wouldnt there be conflicts or cancellations? 
Audio Research Cheap as Dirt?
Dweller Re another league for the LS-2B - better or worse?Nice thread - more ideas please. 
Audio Research Cheap as Dirt?
Arthur Thank you. I just got off the phone with Leonard at ARC. In my experience over the years, he has always been a pretty straight shooter, but he described the LS3 as "a nice preamp". Then again, I suppose ARC pays his bills.He did, however, d... 
What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K?
Jc51373Tape decks made in 1980 were better built, better sounding and more beautiful than the CD players made at that time.27 years later, many of those tape decks are collectible.

Maybe 2 pairs of MG-20s, where the mid and tweeter were disconnected in the second pair, vertically biamped and crossed over at about 80 cycles?That sounds like fun. 
Is there any stat speaker to stick on the wall?
Electrostatics, like most planar speakers, are typically dipole radiators, and therefore emit some sound to the rear of the speaker.Because of this, amoung other reasons, they're are usually not designed to function properly next to a wall.For oth...

Crem1The "volumn knobs" seem to be "excellent gain controls" in the stereo configuration as well.Does it also sound better in mono? 
Anyone ever heard or read about JM Labs Cobalt 806
S7HortonIf I am buying them for $600 to begin, why should I be any more concerned about resale than I would be buying anything that wasn't used?Re competition I would love to hear any thoughts on fatigue free monitors which could be used on the de...

PlatoI believe "stacked" did not necessarily mean vertically stacked.After posting this thread, it occured to me that greater surface area for planars would probably help the bass. But perhaps it would not be good to have doubled up tweeters, at l... 
The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt
Well let's try and keep this quiet before they raise the price, but I can give another vote for the Behringer which I listen to as I write.I decided to try one after my second "audiophile" version of the Sonic Impact amp was defective.The Super T ...
