Beveridge System 3's, worth repairing?
Unless you are just madly in love with them. probably not, at least not at 2000 dollars, though I do hate the thought of them going down the tubes. Few restorations of this sort are worth the money, and I think you could find a used pair for less ... 
Is there a monitor speakers with just one driver?
I think I understand the question, but I would also point out that for most practical purposes, any midrange driver is a full range one, it just can't reproduce the extremes without help(Bose, and it still nee, never mind)Given that, if all you ar... 
Beware of PayPal
I use Paypal a great deal, pretty much from their inception, and they consider me a business member, so I think I write with a little authority. For some of you I will say you are reading the instructions wrong, because I know you can get all your... 
Dynaco ST 70 - Best mod value?

How can I tell if I need more power?
Well, in Ca there ought to be somebody ithat would enjoy taking you through this. When we 1st buy our gear, we are taught(or should be taught)that speakers make all the difference, and they do on the 1st couple of systems. But once we get used to ... 
How can I tell if I need more power?

Which frieght company to use to move a 200 pound amp?
If you are near a majot airport(Logan or Hartford in your case), call ForwardAir, you have to take it to them and pick it up, but it will be handled very little,will be flown,palleted and well protected, and probably cost you around 80 dollars. I ...

Why so many Flaky Buyers?

Flaky BUYERS? So right LornecherryYou hit it on the head, get on the phone and talk, especially with the way I type. Not only that, if you always looking like I am, you never know what that person on the other end will tell you as far as what else... 
Who R U?

Why so many Flaky Buyers?
My last comment but kind of proves a point. I just received an email from a seller in NY who some will know to be something of a character, and he is. His being 83 tears old and a wealth of knowledge and a joy for me to talk to, I don't get real c...
