Vapor Cirrus Black vs dc10 Berlin Studio Monitor
Wow! I have no asscociation with anyone, for the record. I must say that I very much enjoyed the Vapor room, and agree with much that Dracule1 said. It is only fascinating on how our ears hear differently. Please, no disrespect or challenge Dracul... 
anyone heard dc10audio speakers?
I heard the Berlin's at RMAF and really liked the sound. In a more recent thread, it was mentioned that the tweeter and drivers are made in China and that the base cabinet is available from Parts Express. I looked that up, and sure enough there wa... 
Vapor Cirrus Black vs dc10 Berlin Studio Monitor
Yes, heard them at RMAF. Well, I listened to the new Vapor Arcus, so in the same price league as the Berlin. I also listened to the smaller Briton, and did not know about the Chinese parts. Good to know.Their sound characteristics are different, s...

captured cable to IEC conversion challenges
Okfmby60,Your thread is old, but I was wondering if you were successful with an IEC cord for your L3AE? If so, how did it sound? I was also wondering what benefit an IEC would have since the L3AE's captured cord is two-prong without ground pin?Kenny

$$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps?
Thanks David.I've been living with conventional mid-nineties box speakers, well, since the mid-nineties. I have gotten years of enjoyment from them. There were multiple rooms with Dadalus speakers at the RMAF 2010 show where I also heard the Horni...

Trelja,Well, I haven't heard the Aristoteles because they haven't been at the RMAF show in Denver when I've gone, but got to hear their big brother the Eufrodites. I also have not heard the Rethm Maargas, so it makes sense to go to NY to hear both... 
Newbie to analog
See if you can find a hi-end dealer in your area who sells analog. If so, maybe you can take home some gear to listen to in your own system.Depending on the equipment you borrow, you may not prefer it over your CD player. Give it some time. You ma... 
$$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps?
Thanks, Trelja.Bravo, a good dosing of tangible results through hands-on research! Well done. As I quickly and loosely threw a number of amplifier contenders into a heap, it sounds like you might be able to help me discard and/or re-sort the list ...

Thanks, Almarg.I prefer to list only new equipment for the purpose of this thread, and because I only purchase new equipment with the exception of cables.Updated List:Loudspeakers:Horning AristotelesRethm MaargaAmplifiers:Note: I realize some mode... 
$$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps?
Like Trelja, I hold onto my equipment for a long time, so it’s nice to have updates available. That’s always a plus.I would like to create a list of possible candidates for low-cost/low-watt amps, and set a range for cost. I will not rule out the ...

Charles,I've heard the Horning Eufrodites driven by the Tron Telstar 211 SE. The Eufrodites use four eight inch woofers where the Aristoteles just have two, so they were recommended for my room size.I think a trip to NY to hear both the Horning an...
