| Tube Friendly High End "Big" speakers You want something fairly efficient and tube amp friendly. Audiokinesis is worth a look. Or how about a paiworl of large JBL horns?Or use separate powered subs and the choices are endless and probably more cost effective. | |
| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th If I recall the pricing correctly Cathedral pricing comes in at a fraction of the cost of Volti Vitoras. I really liked the Volti's loooks though. I came in really wanting to like the sound similarly but I just recall the results not living up to ... | |
| Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions? "If we make observations that cannot be understood by our understanding, it is incumbent on science to do experiments and explanations of what we see happening."If one hopes to make the sale, then its up to that person to make the case somehow. Ot... | |
| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th Jet,Honestly I have not heard teh Volti enough to say for certain. The one time I heard them at Capital audiofest a couple years back was brief and teh setup far from optimal. WHereas I spent a good half hour or so listening to the Cathedrals and ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I'm very tempted to try that amp with my Triangle Titus XS monitors. IF my wife would have it in her sunroom that is. It's a modern Victorian style house and she loves retro, so maybe. | |

| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? That Coincident definitely looks like a winner. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? "age 70+"SO weird but true.We're all "getting older too...". | |

| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th Whoops, wrong url. Try This for Cathedral Speakers. | |
| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th I heard Volti at a show a few years back. VEry nice looking and sounded OK. Did not get a chance to listen extensively. I did with THese. Different look but a fantastic value at the time for what you got I thought and the sound was one of the best... | |
| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 It may have been covered earlier but was the rating and description of the amp on agon when you bought it consistent with your findings since? If not, it would seem to memaybe you have a case with the seller to either return or seek financial comp... | |
| Stylus cleaner magic eraser does not sound like a good idea off the cuff, but have never tried. Potential to damage stylus? Does it really work to dip? No residue from the ME itself?My wife loves them and uses them for everything though. |
