beryllium vs diamond
I’ve heard enough ESLs and big membrane speakers to know what they sound like, and they all basically sound the same. They present a massive wall of hyper-detailed sound with no sense of space So full of it, you have no idea, you just described h... 
OTL amps, my pick for the tube used.
giving an output current of 3 amps into any load. I know this is a good figure for an OTL, but I have to laugh when I look at the flagship models of my amps (100-amps continuous)https://ibb.co/59M4ZZphttps://ibb.co/VHgjcXJWe had a pair of these h... 
beryllium vs diamond
The esteemed moderators have wisely deleted the insulting, mocking, and arrogant post directed at me above by kosst That’s typical as when he’s on it he has no idea, is obnoxious, and full of it in more ways than one. The only cure is to put an A...

I think ESL's are an inferior technology. That's your opinion 
beryllium vs diamond
Like I said 4 posts ago " I was more referring to Yamaha anyway, many models 1000 1000m 1000x 2000 2000x were a hoax saying they were Beryllium, when they were just vapour deposited coatings over plastic domes."I stand corrected on the Focal ones.... 
Audiolab 6000 CDT transport
Slot loader that’s a cd transport, usually means to me, cheap computer dvd laser/mech that’s not programed to play dvd.PS: Yes it is https://www.hifitest.de/images/testbilder/big/audiolab-6000cdt-audiolab-6000a-cd-transport-53336.jpgCheers George 
beryllium vs diamond
Oh, and georgehifi it is the mass of air moved per unit weight. I'm not talking about the mass of air moved, which is also needed to give bass air pressure into a room which ESL's don't do well and why a dynamic bass driver is better down low. ... 
beryllium vs diamond
I am not sure what those are but they are not plasma speakers. To create a plasma you need some serious heat which requires serious power and an inert gas. Those things would melt. You need to do some homework, they are Plasma, and one of the bes... 
Do I go from a Primaluna HP Integrated to Schiit Freya+ and a pair of Aegir Amps?
I have an opportunity to buy an HP Dialogue Integrated for $2600, I think that’s a steal. So why go against what you just said here?? Stick with the Schiit, less trouble and less coloured sounding. I agree with Wolf_Garcia! I think the Schiit com... 
Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax

Opinion on CD Transports
Cambridge Audio CXC -$340 2nd hand with an upgraded power cord ( Audiogon seller) Highly recommended especially for the money, and lasers are readily available should you ever need one for less than $50 I own one of these and used it while I was ... 
beryllium vs diamond
Will they ever be as good as an electrostatic speaker? And ESL's will never be as good as Plasma tweeters. I have a pair of Plasma MP-02's crossed over from my ESL panels. You've never heard/seen highs "dance" in front of like fireflies you til...

Show the links then seeing your soooo animated about it. I was more referring to Yamaha anyway, many models 1000 1000m 1000x 2000  2000x were a hoax saying they were Beryllium, when they were just vapour deposited coatings over plastic domes. 
beryllium vs diamond
dazzdax beryllium vs diamondI don’t want to burst everyone’s Beryllium/Diamond bubble These are just "dust coatings" adhered over the top of main diaphragm (usually polyprop) to aid in stiffening, trouble is they add mass to it also. I found this... 
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
@georgehifi what class D amps have you heard? Many as I’m in the industrie, the only one that impressed so far has been the BelCanto 600M’s, but only when they drove a very expensive two way, that had a very benign 6ohm load in the upper mid high...
