Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps

Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps
What a disappointment. After waiting all this time for a very nice pair of used Frankenstein's, either a Mark II, or Mark III to appear, I finally came across one. I contacted the owner, a very nice guy, and we worked out a negotiated price and I ... 
Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps
After wanting them for a very long time, I'm now currently awaiting a pair of Coincident Frankenstein MKII's to appear for sale in Audiogon, or one of the other used audio sites online. Sadly, a serious family medical emergency that thankfully end... 
What To Replace A Pair Of Lamm Ml2 Monoblocks With? Need More Power
georgehifi said:"Would be good if you can find a impedance/phase angle graph on these. Then it will be easy to find what your Lam’s were lacking, wattage or current or both. As nice as the 6c33c’s (to me the closest tube to SS) are in paralleled S...

I tried out a few high efficiency speakers and they didn't come close to working well in the room given its size. The Classic Audio and Volti speakers you mentioned would indeed work, but are far, far beyond my budget, even used. The room is 25 wi... 
How Much Power Do Vandersteen 5a's Really Need?
I have been fortunate enough to meet some great people in my now forty year audio journey. Jim has been incredibly kind, and more throughout this process. I can't possibly thank him enough.  
How Much Power Do Vandersteen 5a's Really Need?
Yes, it is still available on the website, but only as an MP3. I haver no means of playing an MP3 on my system, unfortunately. I do have a streamer, and a NAS, but they only handle FLAC, WAV or DSD files.

I was just informed by Vandersteen that due to copyright issues, they can no longer sell, or distribute the Vandertones CD. No idea where to turn now.

How Much Power Do Vandersteen 5a's Really Need?
tomic, thanks again, VERY much. I'm in Michigan, central part of the state and the loan of cables, especially right now, would be  a huge help. Thanks so much.I'll look into the CD via the sources you suggested. And get the XLR filters listed to h...

Does anyone know where the Vandersteen CD used for setting up speakers can be gotten? Their site has a download, but I have no means of getting that download to my system.  
How Much Power Do Vandersteen 5a's Really Need?
It appears that the standard spade connectors on speaker cables are, in general, too large for use with the 5a's. We checked two pairs of my existing cables, and two pairs of my friends (which he brought over earlier). All of the spade connector...
