Why not Gryphon Audio in US
Gryphon has tried distribution in the US in the past, going back to the early 1990's.Some ten years ago I spoke to Fleming Rasmussen of Gryphon and he cited the US Market as being not sophisticated enough for his products. He struck me as being an... 
LSA the gem of a good system
Tbg,Good memory.The X-Dream as I recall, that was part of what we purchased when we bought the assets of DK Design, was the remarkably reviewed speaker. All plate aluminum, and if that design caught your fancy, quite stunning looking. I was psyche... 
LSA the gem of a good system
Actually, now that I'm not with the company, I have no inside information. I had (probably pollyanna) visions of a 7 channel home theater pre/processor with tube gains. That idea still excites me. No, there's no design leadership without John and ... 
LSA the gem of a good system
TBG, And any other owners of LSA Speakers. To improve them dramatically, buy real virgin wool (at a fabric shop I suppose) and stuff them with this, tightly... tightly. There is some cheap stuff in there now, get rid of it.I'd like to take credit ... 
THIEL Audio their demise...
That's a great question.However, all businesses face the issue of 'Barriers to entry', meaning, what obstacles must be overcome to enter a market successfully. The loudspeaker industry is loaded with competition and dealers have very high sales re... 
THIEL Audio their demise...
Actually Jim, Kathy and Tom, his brother were the three founding partners. Tom was an expert in woods and veneers and construction. He may have been the reason for such wonderful detail in their cabinetry. Tom left the company in the early '90's. 
quad esl-63... should I try to replace dustcovers
Dust cover degradation is not uncommon.I personally wouldn't try this, but you may be more handy.My recommendation would be to contact Quad.My experience with them was always VERY pleasant.Larry 
Anyone have experience with Vinnie Rossi LIO?

VAC Sigma 160i - circuit board or point to point?
My recollection is that it's point to point.Larry 
Anyone have experience with Vinnie Rossi LIO?
DP,Thanks for the response, I went to the site, learned a bit.Now, does anyone know of the 'house sound' of RWA which is the same as Vinnie Rossi (per reviews, same but more refined).If we can compare it to any other products??Thanks.Larry 
Have thiel 3.6's. Will mcintosh ma6600 work?
Ii don't believe anyone has mentioned this.The Mac's power is rated into 4 ohms, not really an industry standard. Most are rated into 8 ohms. So, the impedance of the 3.6's drops below 2 ohms as I recall, though it's been years since I have recall... 
Looking for speakers under 3000.00 used
Have you tried the LSA 2 Statements?The have an enormous soundstage, but pinpoint imaging. Very neutral, yet musical at the same time.Larry 
LSA the gem of a good system
When I started LSA Group a decade ago, my goal was to offer products which people could own without regret, for a long, long time. I hired the brilliant John Tucker of Exemplar (and NASA) to be my VP of RD. We then brainstormed to come up with way... 
"Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers
With no mention of price range I'm at a loss.We can't really compare NAD with Bryston, imho. NAD is wonderful gear, but not in the same league as Bryston.Then someone suggested Rowland. Rowland is magical gear, but the price of entry may be, again... 
What do you recommend for a solid state for office
Iso,Actually I have two novels out, and a third on the way. The first two are on Amazon.com/kindle.Thanks for remembering.Larry
