Help with final choice of efficient speakers
Raquel, you mention ArtAudio using Fremonts, Art Audio also use the Daedalus DA-RMa, and many other speakers. Their partner Gill Audio (David Gill) uses the Daedalus Ulysses as his reference. I have the Art Audio/Gill Alana pre and Elise DAC here ... 
Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's?
I have found that as the systems become more refined there is a point where those old mediocre recordings become listenable again. Yes you can hear the shortcomings but also the musicality comes through. You have great electronics, but I think the...

Rrsclyde and others, Thanks much!! After seventeen years at this I'm still touched by the generous appreciation my customers have for what I do. It really is the people that make it worthwhile!Thanks,Lou 
speakers with a "smooth" impedance curve
Duke, I wasn't implying that your systems use filters, your systems sound great and I know you pay a LOT of attention to all the details. Thanks for the compliment on my crossovers, Guy who does the final crossover work is a true genius and I'm f... 
speakers with a "smooth" impedance curve
as usual I agree with Duke. I'd just add that when a crossover is designed for a speaker to have a smooth impedance curve this can be done without using any filters or extra components, it just takes a lot more time etc., some companies do this so...

Lossless conversion format help
Dtc, All else was equal in my evaluation of Lossless vs WAV & AIFF, error box was checked, I used I-tunes & Squeeze Center. With the audio playback gear I use the difference was clear. It was a disappointment as I had ripped hundreds of cd... 
Lossless conversion format help
I found Apple lossless to be 'lossy' , the sound is very inferior to WAV or AIFF.

Nglazer,Thanks for your comments and I hope if you come out to the RMAF you will find time to stop in and say hi. I would like to clarify and correct a couple of errors in the BFS article that is being quoted. First the sensitivity is 97db not 93d...

I don't know of anyone who has much experience with all four models. I can try to succinctly and honestly comment on the differences and value of the different models if you'd like?I know that people don't generally like to hear from the manufactu... 
Dynamic Design Lotus Spkr cable users?
I haven't heard the Goertz cables but the DD Lotus are excellent. I used all Dynamic Design cables at last years RMAF and will this year, they are my reference in our showroom. The cables are very (surprise!) dynamic and neutral, mating well with ... 
Speaker match for Manley Stingray Int. Amp
check the used Daedalus DA-1 on here. We showed with the Manley 250's last year and they do well, the Manley rep thought the Stingray would be an even better match for the Daedalus.good luck,Lou 
Recommend speakers for a restaurant sound system
Get the license from ASCAP/BMI, you'll have to pay fees to someone and this way you can do what you want, including having live music. (Very frustrating that original bands can't be booked into a place that doesn't pay ASCAP! They are Nazis and wi... 
Recommend speakers for a restaurant sound system
Parasound is an excellent choice for your application for preamp and especially power amps. I recommend their new classic line to my pro customers. Also look at Mogami raw cable. They make a co-ax speaker cable that is very open sounding and inexp...

I'm in favor of people using subs with my speakers if they like, though I don't feel it's necessary. In the design of all my systems I decided to not make any compromises in order to achieve a flat response in the lowest half octave or so of music...
