Speaker of the Century Award Goes To ....
Erik is right about a 2.5 way having a lot going for it. It is perhaps the best choice for audiophiles that must share living space and audio gear (no dedicated room). I put my Dali Epicon 6s in this camp. No need for a sub, darn near full range a... 
Why more bass subwoofer into power conditioner
It’s that something else. Even gear with voltage regulation sounds better, including more bass, through my BPT balanced transformer. I just finished building a voltage regulated tube preamp that holds the B+ at 325 vdc at all times.....spot on. Ev...

Why more bass subwoofer into power conditioner
I have found the same to be true of the gear I plug into my balanced power conditioner from BPT.  More bass.  This is consistently the case as I change gear and the years go by with my BPT.  
New DAC has transformed my music collection.
Please let us know the model of the Exposure dac.  Not familiar.    
Bought some `Vintage Gear`
Agreed! Just purchased some 35 or so year old Spica TC50s!

Jupiter Copper Foil, Paper & Wax Cap Versus Jensen Cap 0.10uF 630Vdc Copper Foil Ceramic
My experience is the Jensen’s, in tube gear and dacs, are just darker than the Jupiter or Duelund copper foil caps. I also modify and upgrade gear for a living and do all manner of upgrades with caps. Jensen are good caps, but not as good in the m... 
Jupiter Copper Foil, Paper & Wax Cap Versus Jensen Cap 0.10uF 630Vdc Copper Foil Ceramic
Yes the Jensens are darker than the Jupiter copper foil as pointed out. They will open up a tad, but won’t deliver in the highs as extended and sweet as the Jupiter. They have the personality you are currently hearing even after burn in. They are ... 
HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???
I must say sales are very good for my cables and used gear now. Yes tons of questions leading to dead ends over 70% of the time, but I knew this would be the case. I try to inform and answer no matter the length and nature of the questions.   
Alert, Warning, and Caution about Modified Components

Ralph as helped me with a couple of my DIY tube amp builds and has always answered my questions. He is such an asset to Agon and the industry. I greatly respect and appreciate him. As a past customer I found his upgrade service to be fantastic! La... 
Lyngdorf TDAI-3400
VThose statements read like the experience of owners and factual information about the manufacturer/owner. No, the unit does not sound like tubes, but when properly set up with time and diligence the 2170 can sound so damn engaging. I build tube g... 
Lyngdorf TDAI-3400
@bjesien Sorry your experience does not match many happy owners and reviewers. Not sure why your post is so negative and attacking of me and other happy owners who have as much or considerably more experience and knowledge than you. Too bad you we... 
DIY is not all about saving money
@slaw Do you listen to them now or are they stored away? I will have two sets. One original and one maxed out with upgrades and mods. Fun speakers! Addictive sound when set up right.
