Electrostatic Speakers
I am a huge fan of ribbons and stats. I also love the cones. Most of the points made need not be repeated by me.I have not heard a speaker that reproduces tonality better than the SoundLabs (some as good, but none better). I also personally know s...

Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270
Allanbhaganinfo: I do have to disagree with your statement of "it's easier to build a phenomenal amp at any cost, than to build a great amp at a steal." I think one comes to expect more from an amp with a very high cost and make excuses for amps a... 
speaker cable suggestion
I would recommend the Cardas if only limited to the two choices. As an alternative, the Jena Labs Twin 11's (which I sell) would be marvelous as well. 
Help Needed With Rock Music Trivia
Ed: I will take a shot at it. My email address is jtinn@vehiclenet.com 
Any Piega p 10 users out there?
Waltersalas: As a dealer for both products, you would have no problem driving the P10's with the bel canto EVo 200.2. Monoblock bel canto's would be unnecessary. A nice tube preamp would be a worthwhile addition.Good choices! 
Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270
Fatparrot: My statement regarding "power or transformer" when talking about Atma-sphere, should have specified the MA2's for power at 225 watts.I am enjoying this thread and am excited for all the loyal owners of Berning amplifiers. You own a prod...

Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270
Allanbhaganinfo: You are talking about apples and oranges. While the Berning amps are quite a value at the 2500-4000 that people are paying for them, they are not comparable with the other amplifiers mentioned. The Tenor amplifiers currently stand... 
Opinions please on a selection of a Preamp.
While the AS preamps perform quite well with the AS amps and maybe even Rowland amps, I do not know many people that have used them successfully with other amplifiers. 
VAC 70/70 OR BAT VK60 Mono's
I like the BAT's. Although I am a dealer for BAT, I feel, IMHO that the linearity of the amps are much better suited for the Verity's, which are a tad on the warm side. I think the VAC's would be too much of the same thing with the Parsifals. Anot... 
2 Channel pre-amp...where to start...
It is a shame that you need a preamp for HT pass through, because the Capitole sounds best run directly into amps. 
Tube or SS Preamp with electrostatics & ML amp?
What is your source? Do you have more than one?If you only use digital, there are a number of CD players out there that do incredibly well without a preamp. The Audio Aero Capitole (my favorite) or even the Levinson 390S. I am a dealer for the Aud... 
Your choice of EL34's
Khaki8: I totally agree... XF1's or XF2's. 
Great speaker/SET amplifier matches....
Any SET and the Lamhorn 1.8's. They also sound glorious with OTL's.
