Anyone still using Michael Wolff power cords?
Reviving an old thread here... Yes I have Michael's power cables throughout my system, including both Gain and Source cords, connected to a RSA Haley. I tried way too many exotic power cords and his were the keepers. They are also nice and supple,... 
Subwoofer in the corner? Forget about it
Put your pair of subwoofers in the corners and add a DSP correction/crossover device, like the TacT RCS 2.2X or DEQX PDC-2.6. Result -- maximum SPL, optimal transient response, no room resonances resulting in "bass boom", perfect time/phase and am... 
Genesis 1.1, Infinity IRS V, 4 chasiss speakers
Mitch4t,The answer to your question is not really. The S2150 are definitely not suited to a sub-2ohm load and when I have them driving the sub towers, there is loss of SPL below 30hz. The sub towers drop to 1 ohm at 19hz.Ideal amp for them is the ... 
Line Arrays - Competitive with best dynanics, ESL?
I'm a line array convert too. Good ones will generally come at substantial cost, because high quality drivers are not inexpensive and many are used in these systems. Also the cabinets will be large. That said, some superb designs are very attainab... 
Anybody ever hear Alon Exoticas?
Rottenclam, if those were the pair from N. California you got a nice deal on them. I was thinking about adding them as rears to my system but didn't act quick enough. If you want to see the "Mighty Oaks" check out my system. These big boys really ... 
Genesis 1.1, Infinity IRS V, 4 chasiss speakers
Take a look at my system with the Alon EGR IIs. My room is fairly small, 14.5' x 17' with speakers on the long wall, and the sub towers are in the front corners. Rather than use the provided DQ-LP1S crossover, a TacT RCS 2.2X splits the signal to ... 
Listening Nirvana in Tiny Hideaway Room
My room is fairly small at 14.5' x 17' with 10' ceiling. I have a very large two piece per side speaker system in it. Results are wonderful thanks to a TacT RCS. Really the only issues are proper clearance of the speakers from the walls and contro... 
Suggested speakers to take the place of Dunlavy
The VMPS RM-40 is a WMTMW design like the Dunlavys, but the drivers are better -- true ribbon for the tweeter and planar magnetics for the midrange. Above the RM-40 in the VMPS lineup is the RM/X which functions as a line array from about 200hz - ... 
Has amyone seen the Sony Qualia 006 70 in RPTV?
Yes. Just got one delivered to my house!It is the best display I've ever seen. And the controls and menus are excellent. Overall a very impressive piece of engineering, as it should be for the price. I was only able to get 10% off MSRP but that is... 
Review of Michael Wolff Carbon Ribbon Source power
I have a Carbon Source on trial now with a dCs Verdi. The cord was new when it arrived and has been burning in about two weeks now.The sound is wonderful. The big test comes when I try replacing it with the some of the other power cords I have on ... 
Argent Pursang - Your input, please....
George, agree will all the above!The only cables left on my "must try" list are the Purist Dominus/Venustas and Pursang. And the NBS Omega digital cable. Maybe the Sonoran Plateau too. 
Argent Pursang - Your input, please....
Not trying to damp the enthusiasm about the Pursang, but I wanted to make a few comments about the AZ comaparisons...1. You will pay about $1500 for an 8' pair of Pursang (new, not available used). An 8' pair of Satori can be had for $325 in mint ... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
VMPS RM/X with Analysis Plus internal wire and TRT crossover capacitors. Passively biamped with Jeff Rowland 302/4 and sourced with dCs Verdi/Purcell/Elgar DSD stack. Powered with BPT 3.5 Signature. Pure Note Cerulean XLR interconnect, custom Acou... 
New Acoustic Zen Double Barrel speaker cable
The "Double Barrel" uses a Satori for the mid/high cable and a Hologram mkII for the bass cable. Apparently some minor modifications are made to optimize each cable for its frequency range.Also available is a "Hologram mkII custom shotgun" which u... 
The BEST system you've ever built !!!!
