| Towers with massive dynamics & soundstage $3k? Looking down the listings... some local only, as expected for this weight and size.Dunlavy SCIV's (no IVa's though)Selah Audio RC4'sVMPS RM30AV123 LS6 (line arrays) Wilson Watt/Puppy ($3500) | |

| Bi-amp question Correction: The "fine" attenuator only comes in single deck mono, so you would need two of them. With monoblocks, that actually works better with the attenuators close to each amp, in separate enclosures.Some "pro" amps have adjustable gain built ... | |
| Bi-amp question DACT has a 10k, 0 to -12 dB in 0.5 dB steps, "fine tuning" attenuator that can tame different amps. Easy enough to add series resistance if required (50K for some tube preamps). Inline with the "stronger" amp after the Y. Another pair of IC's, a s... | |
| Volume Pot Upgraqde Just looked up that Bent Audio has 50K attenuator modules and the small PRM-1 module that takes the place of the volume knob, if you don't mind buttons. Nice thing is that it adds remote. Also has power supply options. | |
| Open Baffle loudspeakers. Sideways: Any chance that you're using the upgrade transformer balanced output boards on the DEQX? | |
| Volume Pot Upgraqde Instead of coupling capacitors, consider a Jensen or Lundahl 1:1 line level output transformer. | |
| Volume Pot Upgraqde How about an external switch box like the Goldpoint SW4 ($352) so you don't have to drill into the preamp.Wish that I had these kind of options when I did a project like this years ago. | |

| Speaker builder: heil tweeters vs multiple ribbons Firstly, there isn't a ribbon tweeter that I would use under 1.5 to 2 kHz. Most wouldn't be under 4k. At sixteen per side, let's assume Raal and Mundorf are financially impractical.What makes you think 1kHz is out of the vocal range? However, if t... | |
| Are audiophiles people of sound prejudice? I may be preconditioned, suspicious and quick to judge but don't call me prejudiced. | |
| plate amps Not a lot of the DIY crowd around here. A couple that I find interesting is the Rhythmik/GR Research for their servo feedback and Digmoda for the DSP. | |
| Why none of high-end speakers offer Speakon? "Pro", in this case, means both studio and P.A.. Entirely different. | |
| Why none of high-end speakers offer Speakon? Genesis has used Speakon connectors with their bass amps/speakers but that's a pair for 2 channels and 2 accelerometers per side. I like them and have used them for other projects, including liquid level and 24V controls(Neutrik PowerCon is approv... |
