Recommend Higher Power SET Amp
Joule Electra Stargate(Retail $5500.00) Atma-Sphere S-30( retail $2850.00)The Atma-Sphere tends to be a little on the lean side of neutral(the M-60's,MA-1's are a lot better in this area. The Stargate however is great, you can dial in feedback if ... 
Best speaker with tubes?

low efficiency speaker vs. high efficiency speaker?

Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke?

Coincident Victory Model
Hi,They are fantastic! Plenty of bass w/ my Wyetech Onyx's. Very detailed but smooth as silk, IMHO I think they are the best thing Israel has come out with.

kimber select 3033 speakercable?
Bwhite, Is there a cable that's as close to the KS -3035 without the high price? I've been told to try the 26 to 30 AWG electromagnet wire for speaker wire. I think this is real strange, but I'm willing to try. Ever since I got horns with my SET's...

Is All The Hype About Odyssey True?
Try looking into a Power Modules 150A Hotrod. 
Electrostatic or Dynamic
Frap, I'm thinking about letting my Atma-Spheres OTL run the top, and then maybe some good cheap solid state amp to run the bottem. By the way my Otl's are the MA150's MK11. Maybe some Martin Login CLZ's w/ a subwoofer or Maybe run a seperate soli... 
Jazz and the Hammond B
Absract7, Get some Jimmy McGriff. He does a lot of stuff with Hank Crawford and David "Fathead" Newman. My personnal favorite is titled " Blues Groove" Telarc Jazz.
