Help replacing 8" woofer on Gershman Avant Garde Rx-20
@acresverde i was hesitant to call him because of that being explicit on the website.  He asked me to send a photo of the driver and based on that he felt confident it looked very similar to one he does work on and could fix it.  Turned out my iss...

Streaming + DAC questions. Please help this noob!
I guess I have a crystal ball.  Apple integration coming soon to Roon is what I'm told.  Watch them buy it at some point, only a matter of time.

For those of you who were nice enough to reply, update is Bill has already fixed my driver in less than 24 hours.  The voice coil worked loose and that was it.  Good as new.  I can't recommend Bill and the work he does more highly.  The guy is a g...

I’ve sent my woofer to Bill LeGall at Millersound. @testpilot Gershman no longer had parts for the AG RX-20.  Once you hit 20 years of a particular speaker, even the big brands (I.e. B&W) likely won’t have replacement drivers.  Fingers crossed...

Jerry, thanks for writing.  Curious what makes you say that regarding the reflection on the amplifier?  This amplifier was recommended to me by Gershman, a Simaudio 340i.  It’s very capable.     how does one check the crossovers?

Will do and agreed, they’ve been very helpful in the past.  Not sure I agree on your assessment.  50% volume might be driving the output to 70% power, but don’t believe it’s possible that it could be 100% at 12 o’clock.  Amp should clip way before...

lastly, going past 50% shouldn't do any damage, especially as the amp wasn't clipping and is rated for these speakers.  second time this has happened.  kind of  a drag.

and let me add, my cone is making a classic buzzing sound so might be repair-able?  I checked back and Gershman fixed one before, many years ago.  does anyone know a reputable repair person I could possibly send my driver to?    
Streaming + DAC questions. Please help this noob!
Mark my words, Apple Music will offer Hi-Res streaming soon and will make all these other streaming services obsolete or out of business entirely.  They have the deepest catalog (although search functionality is awful) and the network effect is ma... 
Elac Navis stand mount vs Kef LS50 wireless
@drumnman2 please share a link to the review you mention in Absolute Sound.  Looking and can't find.  Thanks. 
Amp for LS50
@d2girls interesting you would say that about the Ragnarok, since you have the Yggy listed and that faired quite poorly from a noise perspective in a recent test I read.   
Amp for LS50
@b_limo b_limo if you find yourself wanting a Ragnarok, I have one with a box that has been used very little.  Perfect condition that I'm willing to sell.  I'm buying a pair of actives so have no use for the Rag any longer.  ~Lance 
KEF LS50 Wireless Internal vs External DAC ??
This was my original post but for some reason I was logged in as another user.  Really weird and scary that Audiogon has such a glitch:Why not try the new ELAC Navis and ditch the KEF LS50W altogether, since its active, can be wireless, but doesn'... 
Looking for speaker recommendations
@justvintage I agree and have a cłean pair of Gershman AG’s with boxes should the OP be interested. @2tuby it's a great value for money speaker.
