klipsch horns
Quicksilver makes 25 watt mono tube amps specifically for horns.They are an order of magnitude more quiet than a typical amp and sell for $1400/pair (street price). 
Speaker Suggestions for ARC VT100
I've used the VT-100 (I & III) with Audio Artistry Dvorak, Proac 3.8, Kef Ref-III V2 and Thiel 1.6 w/sub (current).They ALL sounded good so I guess amp is versatile.I'd bet the Cain&Cain BEN single would sound magnificent.I'd also like to ...

In fairness to Mr. Z, I did hear an anti-drug public service message he did way-back-when.With his patented, cold-slap-in-the-face, "it's your ass not mine" delivery, it went:Hi.Want to die?Do a little speed.Rot your brain,Rot your liver,Rot your ... 
Congratulations to Marco
Great work! 
The Best Live album

thoughts on frank zappa
Old Frank may have been "clean and sober" but forgot to mention this until twenty years later.Who makes an album called "Freak Out", in the midst of Timothy Leary and the drug culture, for an audience who is "clean and sober"?Conspiracy theorist c... 
would you bother?
Even when vinyl was the dominant medium, I would buy something and immediately transfer it to tape.I couldn't stand geting up every twenty minutes or endure the surface noise and the devil's "pop" at the most intimate part of the music. Seemed lik... 
The Smallest amp/speaker combination?
I'm using a wonderful little integrated -the A205A from Almarro (5 tube watts, single-ended, one input).This is driving some of those KEF aluminum-pod HT speakers to good effect (all the volume you could want in an office).The front end is a Phili... 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
"Living in a half-way-house on a one-way-street" - Ricky Lee Jones"His mind is not for rent - to any God or Government" - Rush "Tom Sawyer""Waiting in our boats to set sail" - Blind Faith "Sea of Joy" 
Picture problems with DLP TV.
I wonder if the DirectTV feed may be causing the problem.I tried to watch the George Harrison tribute concert (PBS) this week via DirectTV.The sound "snagged" about every 30 seconds (sort of like a record skipping). I got so disgusted I turned off... 
SACD hybrids bad policy from Sony/Columbia?
Dr. Diamond/Rsbeck: Yes. I looked at a "Recording of the Month"s descriptive notes to see if it was available on SACD.Only CD was mentioned.A month or two later the it's available on SACD.The magazine in question let this reader DOWN! 
Question re Celtic/Irish/Chieftains music
I like a Scottish group: "Ossian" (pronounced osh-an).Their "Borders" album is very authentic and "peaty". 
What item sold you cannot live without??
Didn't sell but returned a dealer demo pair of BEL 1001 Mk IV amps (200 watts mono).Best component I've ever heard (Halcro amps right up there, however).I also miss my Allied horn monitors from the sixties.Horn tweeter, midrange, 12 inch woofer.Us... 
Would Audiogoners be interested in this?
I think "New Releases" is a good idea but only if record companies are directly involved. With pre-ordering and discounts thrown in for members?Maybe a page with links to companies "New Releases" sites?
