Can 60 triode watts drive Quad ESL 63's?
I am glad...I will not even monoblock the Berning's then...and try with 30 watts in stereo...stacking ESL 63's sounds like a good idea to me...hard to setup i would assume...do they sell some kind of frame as for the stacked 57's? 
Is Odyssey Power amp Stratos better than Krell?
Next to an audiophile...well, if she is cute, you bet!Well, anytime anyone is around the GA south boonies, email me!Actually I do love the sound of the system..but I have an experimental mind sometimes...and i find that more fun than the stability... 
Tannoy-JBL question..
S23Chang..your right on the money with the McIntosh MC40's, thats why I sold them awhile ago. Regarding the EV's, I do have some vintage Ainico McIntosh supertweeters coming to me(a friend built some special stands for them) to go on top of the EV... 
Tannoy-JBL question..
I understand, but u guys are missing the point...I know the value differences in $$, and regarding surrounds, I am obviously looking at speakers whose surrounds are in good shape.Cult following or not doesnt necessarily make the sound...Old JBL's ... 
Tannoy-JBL question..
Mt, i am talking about vintage JBL's from the late 70s early 80's,,,not the current stuff.Its well known that Tannoy drivers were great when the vintage Golds came out, but the cabinets sucked. 
Is Odyssey Power amp Stratos better than Krell?
I hear ya...maybe I am just to lazy, or my 90% performance is good enough,,,in all fairness, it can be fun...I think once I have my dream system, I may feel compelled.

I wonder if the reason some of you guys mess around with so much tweaking is because maybe we are choosing the wrong gear?I usually try to find stuff I love outright, I dont go nutz over cables, cones, etc etc...It just seems too compulsive to me.

Some good info in this white paper.http://www.adireaudio.com/Files/TechPapers/WooferSpeed.pdf

Analogbass,,,I think you are just better versed in the old fashioned folkore...there is more to this issue of just a driver having more mass....

Give me a break, Slower response?...I would figure that an educated speaker guy from Tannoy would be ahead of such "folklore"...or is it the speaker fairies? 
Cats and audiophiles
Bob, its cool to see someone that doesnt get "phased" by the damage the squirrel does...as much I as I like my gear, I could never prioritize it over how I relate to my pets...good job with the rodent! 
Cats and audiophiles
I think cats and music go hand in hand, as they are both a source of introspection...

Thanks, I emailed him with some pictures...I am waiting for his response..

having some trouble with the second amp I just got...This amp was modified by adding a volume knob, with a tube driven line preamp inside,,,very weird...and I am getting a hum which I suspect is related to that addition. 
Cats and audiophiles
My cat usually sits with me, no matter what I play,,,although its funny to see her ears go back when I play something a bit atonal...
