High end Class D amps?
Prior to reviewing,  I owned two PS Audio HCA-2 units. Sold them not too long after because A and A/B kicked its ass. Now, it's reversed and class D is kicking ass on other classes of amps. It's going to be carnage.  
So what ever happened to Kinki Studio???
I happen to be one of those reviewers who found, and continue to find, the EX-M1+ to be a wonderful component, to have excellent build quality, and to have additional value in the flexibility of having 3 operating modes. I use the unit I purchased... 
Anyone ever try to toe-out?
Use an attenuator on the one channel to even them out. Any other solution will introduce undesirable outcomes.  
Apogee Acoustics repair Is it a waste of money to rebuild a pair of Duetta Signature's
Imo, it depends on whether these are your passion, your dream, your primary speakers, or a for fun project. If the love affair with them is strong enough, and you are wiling to accept whatever the performance is, then have fun with it. I had Apoge...

avsjerry, all is forgiven. I wouldn't presume to debate you in terms of technical knowledge. Anyone who is building their own speakers I consider to be worthy of respect. I do believe that the factors involved in the restoration are such that the ... 
Does pin hole in woofer affect sound quality?
I suppose it would be too simple a thing to switch them and make judgment.  We can't have sensible solutions in HiFi.  :( 
Class D
Ah, well, I'm starting to have some perspective here. I was unaware - never bothered to care or look - to discover georgehifi is an industry member who sells his own attenuator. Well, NO WONDER there are issues here, and ferocious debates in regar... 
Class D
Thanks for the reminder! I need to see about potential fuse change in this new Class D amp! Total fun!  :)  
Does pin hole in woofer affect sound quality?
Put a hole in the other one, OF COURSE!  ;) 
Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on?
Owned 2CE years ago.  If they are uninspiring,  move on. I found them over time to be too wooly, flabby. Learning experience.    
Class D
Entertainment in georgehifi relentlessly defending inferior technology.   :)

Playing Peter Gabriel "Sledgehammer " at level of about 88 dB from listening position,  about 10' away. They can take it louder than I typically listen. Sweet success. The foam/cabinet fix turned the entire project.   :)

avsjerry, What kind of misinformation are you speaking of here? Some of your points are simply wrong, including that the "gook" inside will destroy the cone if you try to remove it, and that the surround would have to be hand made. Wrong, and wron... 
Class D

mapman, yes, it's all good, and we understand each other and respect the preferences.  :) You're right that single driver coherence is very important to you, as both designs are "full range", single driver in that respect. I appreciate the beauty ...
