Electrostats Shootout at 4000 Corral
Tweekerman, I have heard all the speakers you mention and I must agree with Plato -- the EROS, IMHO are in another league (for MY taste and MY preferences in MY room). I am not here to brag about my system , tell you what IS or IS not the "best" o... 
Songs & Artists NEVER HEARD on the RADIO?
anything by Eddie From Ohio anything from Marc Cohnanything from Michael Tomlinson 
Hales Transcendence 8
First, the company for the woofers IS at www.alumapro.com and speak to a gentleman named Phil Pantek. Next, the T-8s DO need power to make them sing. Although listed at 88db and 6 ohm nominal load, I'd give them at least a good 100 watts of HIGH q...

I have bought mids and tweeters from Madisound. I have also purchased the woofers from a company (whose name I will come up with) but the woofer is made by Alumapro (who makes car subwoofers). They are stocked but were specially made for Paul Hales. 
Anyone gone from a single REL sub to stereo subs?
Thanks for the encouraging post Perfectimage. I ordered the Stentor III today and am very much looking forward to the improvement!Frank 
Anyone gone from a single REL sub to stereo subs?
. . . to take the Stentor plunge again. I am very happy with a single Stentor III but, many moons ago, went from one to two subs (in a system MUCH different and long removed from my current one) and vaguely remember the same subtle but worthwhile ... 
subwoofer comparision
I don't dispute your choice of VMPS subs and the Marchand or even doubt your experience with the REL. What I do find rather perplexing is that both of the anomalies you describe (one note thump and collapsed soundstage), are the hallmarks of what ... 
A tribute to Roger Sanders and Innersound
I cannot concur more that Roger Sanders is one of the most gifted designers who's genius is exceeded only by his class, integrity and genuine helpful attitude. I too have fallen for the sound of his speakers but I am amazed at how accommodating he... 
The most important piece in a stereo system???
Room and music go without saying, but I believe the poster (correct me if I am wrong) was thinking about "components" when he asked the question. If I am right, I may alienate some of the posters above, but I posit this question: Which "system" do... 
Auditioned Innersound gear
Yes, I DID mean ROGER SANDERS! Although I have respect for Mr. West, Roger Sanders is the gem I spoke of. I bought a used pair of EROS MK-Is from a friend. Thus, Roger is making no money on this transaction. When I finally got around to hooking th... 
Auditioned Innersound gear
Couldn't agree with you more. Roger West is truly gifted and a gem of a human being. In my over 25 years in this hobby, I have never had ANYONE be so accommodating, helpful, generous and, most of all, knowledgable! After hearing his EROS, I can ne... 
Power cable upgrades, or Power conditioner?
. . . look into an Ortho Spectrum Analogue Reconstructor 2000 (AR2000). I know you are inquiring about power cords, but I have both a PS Audio P300 and about 9 high end PCs in my system. But, when I put the AR 2000 in my system, it did more to tam...

BEST SUB FOR MUSIC
Having never heard the Vandersteen, I cannot and will not comment on it. BUT it is clear that "dave@ultrahifi.com" knows nothing about the RELs either. One of the best features of the RELs is the flexibility of its hook-up and adjustments. As "tlh...
