B&W HTM61 vs HTM61 S2: Both seem to use the yellow honeycomb mid driver (similar to my 804). Tweeter similar looking (?). Both are 3 way. S2 has 2 bass drivers vs normal with only 1. Will check lowest used market price but S2 seems to be quite...

@erik_squires "Better crossover points" what makes a crossover point 'better'? I can imagine 'right' (for the speaker/driver) and 'wrong'. But a 'good' one for one speaker may be the totally 'bad' for the next speaker. And for very obvious reason ...

@soix Difference S2 (black poly bass drivers?0 vs 'no S' (yellow driver cone, like my 804)? Found 600 SERIES HTM61 with yellow for under just over 400 shipped.

@erik_squires The cheapo Gold go for TWICE my budget, sadly.  How about Monolith by Monoprice THX-365C (3 way) or SVS Prime (3 way)?    
Class H amps?
So if Class H is still analog, what is BENEFIT over A/B. Just power consumption/weight? I get the benefit of full Class D (big power, low consumption, low weight, cheap) and why it is used in applications where those advantages are very benefitial... 
Class H amps?
@arcticdeth arcticdeth "D is bad, H is good". That is the analog vs digital opinion just played on a different field?  Just to clarify: I only wanted to know the basic differences and general assumption. And like with the old analog vs digital, i... 
Friday Night in San Francisco - SACD? Rumours?
Yeah, "sa-cd.net" does not even show the SACD, on the single layer normal stereo.   
Friday Night in San Francisco - SACD? Rumours?
Is that 5.1 SACD or just a DSD high res file of the normal stereo recording?    
Friday Night in San Francisco - SACD? Rumours?
@lalitk The Sony (Japan) SACD currently sells for $90+, bit steep for me. Where/how can you download DSD versions of SACD (if that is a thing)? Or are you just saying that you have a high res version of the normal CD (nope, I have not been able to... 
Friday Night in San Francisco - SACD? Rumours?
"there seem to be a few different versions, need to determine which mix makes the best of the SACD format": anyone has suggestions/opinions which Friday Night version makes best use of SACD? (I have and love the 'stereo' version but want to add SA... 
Friday Night in San Francisco - SACD? Rumours?
Ordered the Saturday Night in San Francisco SACD (from Elusive Disc) to experience SACD and listen to new material of the trio. May add the Friday Night version later (there seem to be a few different versions, need to determine which mix makes th...
