What the H ll Happened Here?
If the voice coil was fried you would smell it! Sometimes they smoke, but you would smell an aweful burnt electronics smell. yes, your amp must have put out DC. Be most careful and get it checked out right away.To be sure, simply remove one woofer... 
Looking for a integated amp.
Just buy the LFD Mistral amp for sale for $375 - it is a steal! 
Best tube pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ?
CJ 16LSIIThor 1000Wright Sound - anyone of them for the money 
Ok ML CLS and SET amp owners - interesting ?
I decided to just enjoy my IM Ben's and not play with other gear. I will buy more music instead. 
Best Bike to ride before a good listening session
I also committed sacrilege as I own this frame with the Dura -Ace group set. I LIKE Dura-Ace. It is just like the tube VS. SS gear arguement. Get the C40!

Thanks Boa2. Love my Cain IM Bens, but want to just try the CLS's to compare. May not bother after your post here. I have not heard the CLS's, but find the speaker interesting. 
Monarchy SE 160 vs Rogue M-150
Monarchy is a secret giant killer. I owned these and they were in many ways the best amps I have owned and I have owned many. Owned Rogue and theMonarchy amps were much better to my ears.Cant go wrong with these amps.Bill 
Should I pay a lot for a DAC?
Get an Ack dAck used for $325. Killer DAC that betters many for up to $4000. Really very nice sounding.Bill 
I want profoundly better bass
If that is what is most important to you, then Talon Khorus speakers are it for you.Bill

Art SLA 1. New for $175 on Ebay. Can be used as an integrated. I owned it at the same time I owned Parasound JC1 monoblocks. The ART SLA 1 is 90% of the JC1's. I know many will think me nuts. Just need to put a good power cord on it and better spe... 
Opinions, Is this better for the Members?
Dont like the current feedback system. Should of asked us active Agon users what we think before they went live! Simple fact is the current system is to long and involved and feedback is not getting posted at the rate it should or used to. Old sys... 
Question on preamp matching with Wright 3.5 2A3 am
The Wright 12WPL/WPA is a great match and must with George Wright amps. Both cut from the same cloth. Fast, detailed and see through clarity. Very nice sound together. Glad I took the plunge!Bill

Just wanted to post on the joy this system is giving me. I am hearing Van Morrision for the first time in my living room. Ha! The combination of Wright Sounds amps, preamp and the Cain's is magical as I have read on AA.I want to encourage anyone w...
