| Alon Lotus Esprit.....comments? I hear the Esprit speakers quite often as a relative of mine has them. They are very nice to listen to, although I think the better speakers in the line (Elite/Elite Signature) must be purer, due to lower distortion. The Esprit seem very natural, ... | |
| Suggested tube amp with First Sound Deluxe? The speakers in our house are: Sound dynamics RTS 3s; Hale Rev 3s.I prefer analog; the digital sounds good, but the analog sounds....mesmerizing.

Unfortunately, it doesn't fit on the new end stub of the modified Origin Live tonearm. He tried it today, and it was too small by 1/64 of an inch.So, now I own a ne... | |
