Sebrof, you are a kind person, kudos to you too!Charles, all you state is true. The small guys that create superb products in audio have a huge upward climb. Many can't afford to a attend the major shows or place ads in publications. In the small ...

Smith certainly got my attention. I believe he is among the best Reviewers out there, extremely complete and thorough. That Coincident review was so right on to these ears. I ultimately, after much listening, switched my preference from the Sylvan...

Rebbi, Charles,Understand. I think I thought I was beating a dead horse, glad the recommendation was well considered. Great that you had correspondence with Tim Smith, Eric and so forth. Rebbi, I think you made a superlative choice with the AN Kit...

Rebbi,To me you didn't seem that open to Tekton during the thread so of course I'm happy you got to hear a pair even if not the latest incarnation. You really owe it to yourself to hear the Lore or M-lore if you must change from DeCapo. I get the ...

Thanks everyone.Rrsclyde, thanks for that info.Charles, on one of my trips to NYC and/or Los Angeles, I'm going to set up appointments to hear the Line Magnetic 755 Field Coil. I will absolutely write my impressions here. I also really enjoyed the...

Hello Almarg, Thank you so much for your thoughts. I was once a heavy blues Rock n' Roller, but today I mostly listen to symphonic classical, London, Living Stereo, Decca, Telarc, etc., music from the movies, plus smaller chamber music, Jazz, 40s-...

Almarg, as an aside, do you have any thoughts about the ability of the Coincident 300Bs driving any of the Daedalus speakers?

Rebbi,This is good news really. It will be fabulous when the issue is resolved, likely you will not need to purchase new speakers. Then you might consider the benefits of a new power cord, something like the Black Treasure 300B. On sale now at Par...

Wow, it's going to a cliffhanger of suspense!Sebrof, thanks for chiming in. Do you still enjoy the Katz? Were you trying to sell them a while back? Enjoyed the threads you participated in, but haven't seen many posts from you lately. Good luck wit...

Thanks Charles, for some good perspective. I know and have stated that tastes vary, results vary, the same exact equipment, different room, different result. Some audiophiles need to buy expensive well-known labels even though there is better out ...

I would also like to add that I would get the Lore. Also, I hope Sebrof has the Lore, not just the Katz Meow model. Apples to Apples would be best.

Rebbi,What you say about snickering on Parts Connection is what bugs me about the so-called audiophile community. What they ridicule can be said for 85% of their own equipment that they purchase. If they can do it so well why don't they have the g...

I believe Sebrof still owns the Tekton. Maybe he will chime in. Or, you might read his comments on the old Zu vs Tekton forum discussion?

At any rate, when Rebbi trots over to Sebrof's place he can settle for himself whether or not the Tekton works for him with the AN Kit 1. I've grown tired of this dicussion, I don't have a dog in this fight, just trying to be helpful.

Almarg, thanks I've always understood all that. That's why l've pushed for Rebbi to consider a higher efficient speaker like Tekton or others at his price point with the added benefit of better/lower bass. There won't be any clipping with the Tekt...
