Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
Two months after my first post about these speakers I am still enjoying them immensely.... I have actually moved furniture around to accommodate them.I am just laughing at all the negative posts... How can you possibly make a judgement on anything... 
Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
I have a pair of these and they are clearly very special speakers when set up correctly... Like a lot of speakers they need some space around them. If you live in West Los Angeles or nearby feel free to contact me and you can come by to listen to ...

FOLLOW UP IMPRESSIONS: When alex brought the speakers over last night he told me they were very sensitive to placement.. We messed around with the positioning a bit but did not have much to work with because I was putting them in a bedroom with li...

UPDATE: I am auditioning the Wave Touch Grand Teton's ... a local company in Downtown Los Angeles. The owner of this company (Alex) brought them to my house and helped me set them up. A very nice gentleman. He told me to listen to them for a month...

Poor sounding analog?
I also have a Rega RP3. It the elys2 cart sounds very nice on new albums but Is not very good on older albums that have been played a bit and it also is not a great tracker.. I am in the process of picking a new cartridge.Best of luckDan 
PHONO CART SUGGESTIONS
Sbronwnnw,I am trying the no-anti-skake per your insturctions. Seems like the sound is a little more dynamic and full. I have set the VTF to 1.75 using a digital scale per the instructions... Regadds,Dan 
Which used preamp for Halo A21, under $1,000?
At first I had the A21 paired with the Parasound P5 preamp and the Maggies. The sound was wonderful on great recordings but very harsh on less than perfect recordings. I was limited to playing about 1/4 of my CD's. Then I switched to the YS preamp... 
Which used preamp for Halo A21, under $1,000?
I am still using the YS Audio "Symphonies with remote model" I sold my Parasound A21 along with the Maggies a while back. I probably would not have sold the A21 but the guy who bought my Maggies wanted the amp also. I am now using the YS Audio Sym... 
Which used preamp for Halo A21, under $1,000?
I used this YS audio tube preamp with my Parasound a21 and it softened up the sound just beautifully. images just float in the air. Very clean sounding preamp. You will need to change the stock tubes out. http://www.ys-audio.com/sp+.htm 
Best Amp For Maggies 1.6 Tube Or SS
I drove my Maggie 1.6's with a Parasound A21 high current amp and it really handled them well. The Parasound also has 1000 dampening factor for control of the bass. The maggies are very reveling and I found that I needed to soften the sound up wit... 
phono stage for VPI Traveler w/ 2m blue
Second the Dynavector P75.... I just love mine.. It is Fast and Dynamic with punchy bass and great detail... Very much like listening to LIVE music. 
Phono Preamp question
Any suggestion on a good tubed phono preamp that goes well with the rega RP3 and elys2 cartridge. I can spend up to $1500 and would consider a used one as well.ThanksDan 
Harbeth Compact 7s vs. Pioneer's $129 speakers
Bob,I am listening mostly to soft folk music at night. The voices and acoustic guitars sound just right. The speakers sounds exactly the same as the sound coming out of my Sennheiser HD598 headphones. They may not be perfect but they are enjoyable...
