Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping?
Through my modified Signet floor standers, it is easily heard, the advantages of bi wiring and, passive bi amping. What a different set of characteristics, between running the system, horizontal vs. vertical. Using many different pairs of the same... 
What would your "perfect speaker" sound like.
I have owned this particular pair of Lascalas for over 20 years, and after my extensive damping of the " entire " design, everything stock , and the non popular AL crossovers ( built for a short time, but my favorite of them all ), I get out of th...

Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better?
This kind of thread is the reason I spend less and less time on Audiogon. My best, MrD.  
Passive preamp
OP, What do your ears tell you ? BTW, this topic has been discussed, ad nauseam. As some say, it can work, and as others say, it does not. As audphile 1 stated above, everything matters, and as he suggested, you can eliminate your Frida ( sorry, I... 
Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker.
Speakers ( and the room ) are the most specific of importance, in contributing to the sound one achieves, and it boils down to what you like, and what you want. I have owned Maggies, Apogee Duettas, and ML CLSs, and I understand why people love th... 
Poll: Most impactful component
For me, it has been my Klipsch Lascalas. I did work on getting rid of the nasties inherent in the design, with great success, and they do everything I want them to do, connecting me with the musicianship / performance, of EVERY recording I listen ... 
Can you give me your speaker suggestions?
If you still own the H3s, I would damp the mid horn, tweeter horn, and the woofer basket, with Dynamat, and use the factory enclosures. I would buy a Class A, ss amp ( I can recommend a few if you go in this direction ), and if you like tubes, use... 
running 2 of the same amps into 1 pair of speakers [ first watt J2's]
To the OP......If your speakers are bi-wirable / bi-amp able ( have 4 connectors on the back, 2 for bottom end and 2 for mid/top end ), 2 identical amps, as the pair of Js, would be best off to passively, vertically bi-amp. One amp per speaker. On... 
Been intrigued by this power amp since it was introduced. Yes, another " D " thread.
So, I did have a Warp One here for a couple of months ( bought new from Wally ), and, I did not like it in my system. My best bud also bought one...and he loves it. The only " D " amp I have not tried, still, is a GAN. I am currently enjoying, imm... 
Sat front row at the symphony...
@frogman ....+1..... the " playing " of the instruments, through the conductor's direction, is why I attend performances. I listen for the playing, through my rig, as well. My best. MrD  
Why are these called 5 way binding posts? I count four!
It was explained to me many years ago by an amp manufacturer, whom I forget, because you were able to use a spade ( or loop/hole ) to the shaft, and a banana plug, simultaneously........Is this true ? I am only repeating what I heard. MrD.  
Sat front row at the symphony...
@viber6 , my friend.....as always, your personal listening experiences are yours, and that is all....yours. Your system, as good as you feel it is, would not satisfy me, the way my system satisfies me, as I look for and appreciate other important ... 
Sat front row at the symphony...
If we go back to the start of the thread and read the original post by mikeydee, I believe the statement was all about the enjoyment, and the " impact " the experience made to him. We come to the argument that the best seat in the house is at the ...
