Bookshelf speakers for $500
I would reccomend that your friend scour sites such as this, Ebay, US Audio Mart, etc. for used speakers. Many great deals can be found. Speakers such PSB 400's, NHT 1.5's, Infinity RS 4000's, Paradigm Mini Monitors, and Platinum Audio PT 808's (e... 
Technical Dilemma
Thank you Tls49! I switched tweeters and lo and behold the problem followed the defective tweeter. By the way. the "good" tweeter has a manufacture date of 5-20-96, while the defective one's date of manufacture is 10-97. That's a long time-span, w... 
French Speakers?
My lachrymal Fifth Grade English teacher may be smiling if he/she was aware of the saturninity involved, if not apparent, in "My demise as an audiophile began"... 
Legacy Studio circa 1990?
I received the speakers yesterday and although I would deem them ugly in design appearance (made even more unattractive by a previous owner who painted them white) they sound fabulous, besting thus far in intial impressions my NHT 1.5's. Sigh, the... 
Legacy Studio circa 1990?
I contacted Legacy Audio and my questions were graciously answered via email...I wonder how many other companies would reply to queries concerning a 20 year old item? In any event, the speakers are pre-1994 in date and were probably manufactured i... 
The Physics of Electricity

Tube Preamps
This abstruse hobby of audio cannot be logically explained. Much of "high-end" audio is based on psycho-acoustics. If the the soound is liked, stick with it. In the late '90's I opted for tubes in the form of a Melos Sha-Gold. It sounded great at ... 
Cable Costs Relative to System
Metaphysics and pseudo-psychology are all fine and well. But if one can afford thousands and thousands of dollars on wire, then one has too much money. To me, such monies would be better spent on assisting the less fortunate among us. People liste... 
Best musical sub for a Triangle Celius?
Can anyone accurately define what a "musical sub" is? Probably not. 
Power Cables which take the soundstage back
Powerful chords, not power cords make music magical. Be it via a Walkman or Krell, it's the music that matters. Use logic and reason when considering materials that merely conduct electricity. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I have to break this down into three catagories; dynamic bookshelf, dynamic floor standing and electrostatic. Of the latter, I've only owned one, The Martin-Logan Aeriusi. While it was surely different, I cant say it was the best loudspeaker I've ... 
Odd Combination/Insanity?
There have been no ill effects experienced thus far to my trusty Hafler 9300, Kotta. Thanks MrTennis, perhaps I am not insane after all. -;)
