What speakers do you use with your SET's?
I use the Carolina Audio JSM speaker that uses a single driver (Jordan JX92's) in a transmission line design with a pair of Wright WPA1.75 mono blocs (type 45's giving 2w/ch). Since the JSM is a monitor, I use a REL sub with it. One could use the ... 
Question on preamp matching with Wright 3.5 2A3 am
I agree with Howard (and several others) that the Wright preamp works wonders with Wright amps lending body to the music. I use the Wright pre with the Wright 1.75's (type 45 tubes at 2w/ch). I also tried and enjoyed the Eastern Electric Minimax p... 
Efficency- Low vs. Hi?
I agree about the mismatch. My view (with all its biases):PSB Stratus Mini: described as having great bass (for size)Cambridge Audio: UK company with the "British sound" (warm)Not having heard either of these, I'd expect an overly warm tonal chara...

Sonic Impact T-Amp giant killer?
I believe they sell for 39.95 and you'll need the power supply which is 19.95 (unless you use batteries). That makes it a $60 amp. Using a Pinnacle 12v power supply will give better midrange, a weak point of an otherwise very open and clean soundi... 
Digital harshness or Clipping?
Mic preamp clipping is another posibility. Every singer I have ever recorded increases their volume as soon as you hit the record button despite the fact that you have checked levels for the loudest spots in a song several times to get a proper se... 
Need some help with speaker stands
You might look at Atlantis Pros for $169 at Audio Concepts Inc (really fine folks). www.audioc.com/accessories/AtlantisStands.htm 
What is the standard for judging a systems sound?
Gould's prediction that the composer, performer, and audience would all be participants in the artistic process when enabled by recording technology IMO has become a reality. We make the final contribution to the artistic event as it unfolds in ou...

Is anyone using REL subwoofers with BAT tubed amp?
From BAT web site: "... it incorporates all-triode zero-feedback topology, fully balanced operation...." As I remember, REL has a method for connecting a balanced high level input that would need to be followed. Alternatively, try line level input... 
Why so many Merlin VSM's for sale??
I sold my Merlin VSM-Ms but I think they are great speakers. Both comments above are right on target. They are very responsive to upstream components and require some time and effort for setup. That said, I probably would not have enjoyed them nea... 
flat speaker quandary
Though I have no useful information regarding your speakers, I thought I'd suggest that I have found cables to be very important with an ART DI/O. Most recently I've used Cardas Lightning 15 coax, Audience AU24 coax, and Audience Conductor coax. E... 
Soliloquy or Von Schweikert VR-1
The Soliloquy is a fine speaker but I wouldn't place them that close to a wall with the rear port. A closed box would be a better choice though I have never heard the Von Schweikert. 
To preamp or not to preamp???
I've tried removing my tube preamp (which I don't actually need) but cannot even make it through one song before it goes back in the chain. I love what my Wright WPA12 does for my system (a more palpable musical presentation).
