Spade adapters
Doubt anyone will read this again, but I am in a similar situation with my Panasonic AV receiver. I have Monster X-Terminators I cna use with my spade-terminated cables, but they won't open up enough to grip tightly in the rather large banana fema... 
Drums drums drums Im looking for more cds
More on the classical side, try Evelyn Glennie, "Drumming" and Safri Duo, "Works for Percussion." 
Preamp to use with Rowland mono amps
I am using both a Klyne (SS) and a First Sound (tube) with my 201s. The jury is still out. I suspect you could use just about anything you like.Rowland will also have a new preamp pretty soon: Concerto. Lower priced than the Synergy, apparently de... 
REL Stadium and Rowland 201's setup -HELP
This makes me think that you have not solved the REL problem, Islandflyfisher. Or am I confused?Rich, if you are reading this, have you had any reports of difficulties getting REL subwoofers to work with your new amps? The RELs take their signal d... 
REL Stadium and Rowland 201's setup -HELP
Way better, I think. Islandflyfisher, how do you like them with your Thiels, REL problems notwithstanding? 
REL Stadium and Rowland 201's setup -HELP
This doesn't help. but I could never get satisfactory performance from a REL when I had a Pass X-150 amp. The REL worked, but not properly. And Sumiko was of very little help. The RELs appear to be somewhat fussy, I guess.I use 201's with Thiel 2.... 
REL Stadium and Rowland 201's setup -HELP
You might want to call Rich Maez at Rowland, see what he says. The 201s use those newish Cardas binding posts that tighten down simultaneously on both + and - spade connections. Bananas aren't accomodated.

This is very interesting. You've a good head on your shoulders, Eldartford. 
Harbeth question: Which speakers to keep?
Ed, how would you compare those three models you mention, particularly the Model 30 vs. the Super HL5? 
The Best Live album
If you like "Goin' Home" from Woodstock, I recommend you check out the album Undead by Ten Years After. Not sure if it's available on CD. Side one features two songs, "I May be Wrong But I Won't Be Wrong Always" and "Woodchopper's Ball", both of w... 
Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers
Sean, I'm afraiid I don't understand your response to me, but, wtf, I'll stop beating this dead horse. 
It's 2008
I have another: a safe, accelerated method for breaking in loudspeakers. I'm thinking some way to get 4 hours effective for 1 actual hour (of approrpriate high volume music), something along those lines. 
Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers
Avoiding ports and passives is a tall order. If I'm not mistaken, that would exclude most of the phase-and time coherent designers out there, including many models from Thiel (my 2.4's have a passive radiator and a Q of about .8), Vandersteen, Mea... 
Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers
This sure is interesting. I wish you guys would name names, not to put down anyone but to help us get a better handle on the sonic implications of the various design choices you are describing.

Who even makes a sealed enclosure speaker these days? There aren't too many.
