Ribbon midrange pros and cons
Adam Audio has ribbon mids . Don't know if its a pro or con . I own the Tensor Gamma version . It is probably the closest in sound to my King Sound King electrotat speaker I have come across in detail , speed and tone . 
Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
Another solution is to place a large tile on the carpet . Less expensive than the footer spikes and seems more stable to me. My Gaia footers suction to the tile and is a very strong binder . 
Triangle speakers
My thought are , great speakers . Have owned the celius 202 and the Antal 30 year anniversary model . Such a musical speaker , never harsh or strident regardless of good , bad or poor recordings . The highs are the standout frequencies to me . Sec...

Is there an affordable long run XLR preamp to amp cable out there?
You betcha , Mogami Gold . Don't look for it to bandaid flaws elsewhere in your system though . Like your speakers , amp , source already ? Then this cable does the job .https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GoldStu25--mogami-gold-studio-microph... 
How much do we at A'gon influence the industry?
Another example I thought of was a couple years ago I attended Rocky Mountain Audio fest . I was talking to the Paradigm Rep about what was being written after the first night of the show on Audiogon . He said he was aware . These companies look t... 
How much do we at A'gon influence the industry?
I say it is significant . Manufacturers seem to end up coming here to comment on negative things written about them . It doesn't take long for word to reach them it seems . Is there a bigger audio forum than here ? I am not aware of anything being... 
Best speakers for classic rock
Also , Those speakers I listed played all genres of music equally well . The key was they played loud without distortion . 
Best speakers for classic rock
Look for brands that taught low distortion at high volumes . I think classic rock means high db's . From what I have owned I would list ,Axiom , Bryston (upgraded Axioms) , JBL , Cerwin Vega , Revel . There has to be dozens more brands that will w... 
Prima Luna EVO series amps/preamps now available...
Hell Yeah !! 
Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7?
You obviously have no experience with Magnepan my friend . No need to chat about them further with you .  
Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7?
Ok , Just get a 25 watt amp op . LOL 
Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7?
Just get any 50 watt amp . Its all you will ever need for one of the hardest to drive speakers on the market. Great advice . Any more brilliant pointers we should be aware of ? 
Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7?
Yeah , Stick with the 3 series and be content . Bryston makes larger amps for the hell of it .  
Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7?
Sorry man , You can throw all the mathematical equations out to support a low power amp will drive a speaker the same as a larger amp does  . If the speaker was 100 db efficient , then we can say that will work . Not going to happen with magnepan ...
