How much money do you want to waste?
The intermediary step between objectivism and subjectivism is rationalism, why things sound the way they do (or at least more rational answers as to why they sound the way they do, not just because I changed a cable, but what about this cable and ... 
Closet audiophiles
Regarding my post, in a way, yes, maybe not as extreme as my colloquol wording may have painted it. Way back I remember someone wanting a tube amp, several people offered suggestions, and when I chimed in (trying to guide this individual for the b... 
Closet audiophiles
And the other thing is that one may choose to post privately because if they put it on the public forum they'd take alot of heat for it. Not to mention the flames created may do more to hurt the thread starters understanding of the whole thing. 
Speaker efficiency vs. power requirements
I may have screwed up in my previous post. But I don't want to think about it anymore. Try this.Based on a 90db efficient speaker.Desired SPL Needed Power90db 1 watt100db 10watt110db 100watt120db 1,000watt130db 10,000watt140db 100,000watt150db 1,0... 
Speaker efficiency vs. power requirements
Your source is ok, I guess, its just said things in a kinda stupid way. This topic has been covered before. Every 10db increase is a doubling in SPL (sound pressure level, and I would call this loudness, colloqually (I know its spelled wrong)) and... 
Which MIT cables for Thiel???
Isn't MIT just a stupid Zobel network in the box. All it does is attempt to smooth out the impedence curve to make the amps job a little easier. And you can build one for quite cheap. 
HELP No sound from tweeter.
Is there some sort of fuse protection? You never specified you model. If that's blown that could be the problem and easily fixed. You can get a new one at radio shack. Worst case efforts on your part (not much): take the tweeter out if possible an... 
Martin Logan's Speakers Placement??
Consult your owner's manual (if you have one) and look around on past threads-there are many dicussing problems/placement of the various logan's. 
Plasma speakers anyone with info?
Acapella audio of germany is currently producing three models with horn loaded plasma tweeters (and they've apparently figured out away around the ozone problem). This is your best bet. It may be something like acapella??.de Nelson Pass (of Pass L... 
What's wrong with tailoring the sound?
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=551c517b313172ce0dbf65900397d9a9&threadid=1341&highlight=tone+controlsAccuracy is always the name of the game, sometimes they are an acceptable bandaid. In dealing with vinyl/lp's the master ... 
Cheap SET amp......
www.decware.com had a $550 dollar 5wpc one using some Svetlana SV83 tubes last I recalled. Or it can be bridged to 10 watts in monobloc mode and then use 2 amps. 
Spica's TC 50 vs. Sound Dynamic RT 3's
www.murphyblaster.com, under the top right measurements icon, has some frequency response measurements of several speakers including the Sound Dynamics RT-3's. I'd spend a weekend with a nice kit, but I know I'm weird. 
Most beautiful violin recording you have heard
Maybe not the most beautiful, but I like Carmen Fantasy and others works by Pablo Sarasate. 
OPINIONS Best FULL RANGE used speaker for SS
You could buy the 801 or 2 but I don't know why you'd want'em. The Biro L/1's at $1,600 new will outperform them in every category minus the deepest bass and highest spl. But if you want it louder and boomier and not as accurate/musical go for it.... 
need help on dynakit st 35
Sorry, I may have mixed the st-35 with the st-70. I don't know how different the two are soundvalves.com and avahifi.com both have kits for the latter. Check around though. Some of the tube places may be able to help.
