Gallo Strada vs Paradigm Signature S1
@Docks: I have heard the B&W diamond tweeters, and to pick the S8 above them says a lot. Thanks much for the input.Mot 
Gallo Strada vs Paradigm Signature S1
Wow...no one has heard them? 
Does Bi-amping really make a difference in sound?
I did exhaustive research online prior to posting here on this same topic a couple weeks ago. The problem is there is so much conflicting information that you never really feel like you know what the right answer is. So us newbies to this hobby po... 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
If by ‘classy’, you mean ‘animal hoarder’...then yes, you are classy. lol :-D 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
They might...if they know you have Diamond tweeters. Sorry Elizabeth...I couldn't help myself. :-)Mot 
Music to die to
Ummmmm....can we not turn this into a discussion on religious/metaphysical nonsense. Let's keep it on music please. 
Music to die to
Well, as I have a trashed heart and need a transplant, I've actually given this some serious thought. My choice will be 'Master and Margherita' by Ennio Morricone. Can't imagine a more beautiful piece of music to fade into nothingness to. :-) 
Your ONE all time favorite love song?
'Into the Mystic' by Van Morrison...fell in love to it. Song for the first dance at my wedding: 'I love to see you smile', by Marge and Homer Simpson. Good stuff. Now that I'm divorced I'd go with 'Smack my Bitch up' by The Prodigy. :-D 
What music do you want to play really loud?
These are the songs I crank at break-neck volumes most often, and why I need more amplification:1. 'Pushit' by Tool off 'Saliva'2. 'Delirium Trigger' by Coheed and Cambria off 'The Second Stage Turbine Blade'3. 'Hang you from the Heavens' by The D... 
Solid State Power Amps That Sound Most Like Tubes?
Danielk141, Ha! I've probably seen your BAT there. I love that place. :-) We went up to your friend Bill's shop last winter to find it closed. Very sad to see all the independent places closing up shop. My buddy Bill and I will surely go to the sc... 
What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers?
He started a thread regarding a fantastic review by Chris Martin on the LSA floor standers. No one responded...he's probably just very discouraged. It's a really great review...I would recommend a read. 
What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers?
@Phaelon: Maybe a more novel idea would be to actually contribute, as opposed to simply leaving snide comments every few days. 
Monoblocks, passive bi-amped or passive tri-amped?
I am absolutely going to try it. A friend has 4 class D monoblocks that I am gonna borrow to try in both single and bi-amped methods, to see if we can hear any difference. But even he believes that high quality monoblocks, bi-wired, are the better... 
What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers?
From my perspective, there are a couple reasons why people might like stand mounted, instead of floor standing. The visual impact, as stated earlier, IS very important to most people. I bought Mirage OMD-28s because I love the sound AND the look o... 
Anyone read Perfect Visions Review of LSA's?
I posted earlier, but for some reason it never showed up. Really great speaker review. Can't ask for much more praise than that man. You must be proud of your creation when Chris Martin speaks that highly of them. Good on ya man.Mot
