| Any thoughts on the new polycarbonate LP's Totally dependent on the master used and how many times it has been stepped on. Suppose it's possible for it to sound good if it's a reasonably new release or something from Frank Zappa. | |
| Vandersteens-- Removing M5-HPs for a Digital Xover? Good luck and happy listening. | |
| Krell KAV-250p - time for change? I would love to own some big Magico speakers, but at $150k + a pair, just not happening for me. | |
| Vandersteens-- Removing M5-HPs for a Digital Xover? Why would you want to do that? Are they not bi-amp capable? How many separate amplifiers are you planning to use with them?

| Crossover help? I'm assuming you're talking about a passive crossover within your speakers, correct? Could you post some photos? Or a schematic of the original crossover? We can figure this out with just a multimeter. | |
| Marantz 2270 hunt Just keep looking. Put it in "saved searches" and get notified when one comes up for sales. Their app will help. Good luck. | |
| hearing loss and speaker selection 64😎. Enjoy what you have for as long as you can. I use a parametric EQ for me and switch it out when I have visitors. Best wishes. | |
