| Boulder monoblock 2150 What I noticed was the 2150's $99,000/pr price tag. I didn't read any further. This is getting ridiculous.I think it's way past that point.... Ditto... | |
| Re-wire of speakers to get more Warmth and resolve across the band +1 Jmc and grannyring.Though I think it could be an interesting project, I would call up Tekton and ask them what they think. They built the speaker and would know more about what a change in wire would do in their speaker.Bob | |
| Inexpensive shelf/rack for Croft/Harbeth setup. Besta would be better, in my opinion. It has a better connection system than the Expedit.I use it for my components with some Herbie's sound dampening. I would also consider Sound Anchors. They have a wall mount for speakers that I am using for my... | |

Now if only I could find the Raceway Park, and Lincoln Saving... | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? Jetter, I am the guy who bought ctsooner's Treo's, I kind of kick myself for not realizing that the Treo and Quatro share the same footprint. I probably would have gone with the Quatro's and eliminated the 2w subs. Anyhoo, it's done.Since I visite... | |
| Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions Though older than the '90's, an old Adcom GFA 555 would be my rec. Besides being cheap on the used market, they can be upgraded by Music Fidelity. I still have mine and it works as good as it did 25 years ago.Mr. Pass made a heck of an amp. | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers If the former, than some of the lower impedance speakers and higher power transistor amps will be of interest; if the former, then you will be very careful to be matching the speaker to the amplifier (and not the other way ’round) and most like... | |
