| Opinions on Sim 330A Power Amplifier That's a tough one, can you audition both at the same time? Simaudio makes good stuff, benefit is class A operation to 5 watts/channel. The specs are impressive for the Anthem 325. I haven't heard either, but your listen test should be your gage. | |
| Where do you put your money? You sure got lucky on the ESL 63's! | |
| An ideal (minimal) 2.1 setup To me, it's all about clarity and detail. You don't need a center channel, but do need a couple subs. | |
| Bi-Amp - Audio Research Reference 75 SE & Gryphon Diablo 300 By all means bi-amping is the way to go, you will never go back to a single amp again. I personally use an active crossover and totally bypass the internal passive crossovers. A bit dangerous on drivers without passive components in case of an amp... | |
| JBL L-300 Summit Are they still any good? If the 077 prism tweeters have the blue ring diaphragms, they sound better than the newer gold ring diaphragms and you simply cannot find the blue ring diaphragms as replacements. I've been watching for 10+ years and only saw one on ebay and misse... | |

| JBL L-300 Summit Are they still any good? Why do you want to change the L-pads, are they bad? Just remove the assembly from the cabinets and clean/lubricate them well. I doubt you'll find L-pads nowadays like the quality of the originals. If you're not going to bi-amp with an active cross... | |
| Finally received my SimAudio Titan back! Thanks for the share. A wife can be a great asset if you find a good one! Glad everything worked out great, should be good for another 20 years. Just a bit surprised they didn't change any capacitors. | |

| Spring-Loaded Screw Turns Drywall Into Sound-Absorbing Panels +1 millercarbon & oldhvymec. Most noise I hear through walls are lower frequencies. Maybe up to 1kHz., not sure. | |
| klipshorn speakers +1 for big Cerwin Vega. Those were the loudest I've ever heard. Add a couple subs. But I'm afraid he will have hearing loss as he ages... | |
| KEF Blade -- how good are they? Only heard them once, but very clear and detailed. | |
