Speakers to alleviate room anomolies
Bob_Reynolds: I like poking fun at Duke as well. He and I go back a long time. 
Speakers to alleviate room anomolies
Bob_Reynolds: I respectfully disagree. There are always spots in a room that cause nulls and bumps as well. Finding a proper place for the listening position as well as for the speakers is critical. Having a speaker that is adjustable in the bass ... 
Halcro DM68 or Pass XA 200.5?
I am not a dealer for either but have experience with both. The Halcro is incredibly clinical and very resolute. The Pass Labs XA.5 series is also very detailed, resolute and powerful with greater musicality and harmonics.

Why no professional reviews of Evolution Acoustic
Mikelavigne is pretty much correct. It is a sizable investment for a large system. As Mike has stated, you have the cost of shipping 1900 lbs (MMThree) or 1300 lbs (MMTwo) to the reviewer as well as the cost of return shipping. There is also the c... 
Kharma ceramic blow up
"Tsk, tsk. Of course a driver doesn't commit suicide:)!That, exactly that, was the question: i.e. in other words "what upstream element do you think caused the damage".:Gregm: Your statement seems a bit odd when indeed I did suggest that the amp o... 
Kharma ceramic blow up

Kharma ceramic blow up
If you were playing over 115 db, you possibly over drove the midrange. If not, my guess is the preamp or amplifier was sending DC to the speaker. 
Monaco TT with Halcyonics
I strongly believe it would improve the table as would any great isolation device. What do you have it on now?My experience with the table is that everything I tried had a sonic effect, whether good or bad.The Grand Prix Audio Monaco turntable is ... 
Anyone compare Abbingdon to Playback Designs
Contact cincy_bob he has both. 
Somethin Else Classic records vs Analogue Producti
Wow, they are both terrific. I would say the transparency might be a tad greater with the Classic Records version and the Analogue Productions version may be a bit sweeter and fuller. 
Number of records you have
At one point I had over 50000 records. I would say now I have about 10000. 
Lamm ML2, VLadimirs best effort to date?
I do not think that the ML2.1 was meant to be a sonic upgrade. I understood it to be a change easier for voltage usage, meaning 110 / 220 and a few parts differences, i.e., binding posts.I have heard both and they were very similar.I may be wrong. 
smokin' recommendation: Evan Parker's "TIME LAPSE"
Chashmal: I certainly do not condemn you for your taste. It just is not mine. I do like some free jazz, it is just that this is a bit too free :)
