Favorite Speakers at RMAF
Audiofeil, have you actually listened to these speakers instead of relying on "highly regarded" participants (whatever that means)? Have you ever seen these speakers in real life instead of pictures? If you were there, you would understand what I ... 
Ridge Street Audio Sason Ltd. Loudspeaker
I was there. I will post my experience with the upgraded Sason on anothread. 
Vienna Die Muzick flagship speakers
The bass response is said to go down to 22Hz which is very low. Based on what I did hear in room 505, I believe the speakers can do this. The bass was extremely tight, fast and extended - surprising given the small hotel room. 
Threshold SA3 or T200 amp
Thiel are lean sounding, so I go for the smoothness and warmth of the SA3 which I owned. You just cant rock out with it. 
Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective
"Tone Color" - stupidest term I've come across in hi end. Why couldn't these reviewers just stay with tonal color. 
Someone hit Martin Logan CLX with the ugly stick?
If Gale Sanders were still at the helm, the design would have been better me thinks. If you found an extremely comfortable chair for $3000 but it was puke green, Brady Bunch, 70's style Lazy Boy chair, would you buy it and put it in your modern ho... 
Someone hit Martin Logan CLX with the ugly stick?
Well, it's at best controversial. The outer framing lookes ok, but the backside looks like cheap MDF haphazardly put together. The curved and flat panel looks odd together. I think ML should have looked at their Statement and separated them out wi...

Hyperion HPS-938 speakers
Simple why they aren't selling as well. No reviews on Stereofool or Absolute Fool. Under $1500, tube amps that do well with 938 are http://www.mcalisteraudio.com (personal experience), http://www.pacificcreek.com (second hand info), and possibly h... 
Are Atma-Sphere MP-1 and VSE RTP-3D similar?
Thanks Ralph, appreciate your input. I will contact you by email. 
Are Atma-Sphere MP-1 and VSE RTP-3D similar?
Thanks for all your responses. I try not to inquire directly to the manufacturers as they inevitably have a "colored" view of their own products. But Ralph or Allen are prefectly welcome to reply to my thread.Do any of you know how quiet the line ... 
Are Atma-Sphere MP-1 and VSE RTP-3D similar?
Tvad, looks like you've owned or currently own several tube preamps including the ModWright and Supratek. Can you give a comparison between the MP-1 and the others? 
Are Atma-Sphere MP-1 and VSE RTP-3D similar?
Thanks Tvad,I have never seen the internals of the MP-1, so I was going by the fully differential balanced topology both preamps have. Do you know a site that shows the internal of the MP-1? Yes, the Atma-Sphere has the advantage of being a US com...
