Can a ic be sent back to...
harmonic technology wants $25 per termination. for the going rate of a used truth link i figure it's prably smarter to get some good RCAs and DIY. which brings the question where to get good connections and silver solder to do the work with. 
Can $15,000 Sound As Good As $75,000?
Plsl hit an important point with the room treatment comment. The best sound i've heard was from a $20k-$25k dunlavy, wadia, ARC system in a well treated showroom at Audio Vidio Logic. Back to the question at hand. A local retailer had a Mark Levin... 
How to kill 2 birds with 1 stone
look into some of the electrovoice pro gear. It's probably as close as you'll get but i don't think it will be truely full range. A local blues club has a small pair of EV wedges mounted on the wall but i'd guess the mounts need to be pretty stout... 
Monoblocks or upgrade to larger amp?
there was another discussion recently that applied to this topic where it was thought that bridging the amps didn't produce all that good of sound. Unless you were to biwire/biamp the system, one channel of each amp for the highs and one for the l... 
How much does your system retail for?
about $22,000 and growing but thanks to this site only about $14500 out the door so far, unless you count the house that had the room that i just had to have to put it in...then it gets ugly. 
Need help: soundstage?
Hi jfrech, I went to the immediasound.com web site and they had no speaker setup info there. COuld you fill us in on their method? 
Harmonic Tech Pro Silway Mk II ???
I agree entirely with ejlif on the Silway characteristics though i found the bass to be tight and well defined tonally compared to a few other cables where the bass was more pronounced but not as controlled (truth links and Transparent). The bigge... 
Best amp for Dunlavy Aletha
I use them with VTL 185 monoblocks and they sound great. I auditioned them with a Pass Labs SS (aleph 3 i think) and an audio research VT100 mkII. I liked the tubes much more than the solid state. you may loose a little in the bass but what you ga... 
Harmonic Technology Pro-11 s
I actuall talked to Robert about a month ago about the Matrix and silver reference IC. I also asked him if he would suggest upgrading my pro-9s to the satori cables. He stated that he felt the pro-9 to be a good design and while one could always l... 
Dunlavy Cantatas What Power Amp?
Set up and Room has a lot to do with the bass out of the athenas. I originally had mine in a 12 x 22 L shaped room with the speakers on the long wall and one of the speakers firing into the di9ning room.... No bass. I moved them to a 20 x14 room w... 
Anyone compare Dunlavy vs Aerial
I compared Dunlavy III, athenas and Aerial 7b and 10-T , liked the 10-T lot but ended up with the athenas. The dunlavy speakers give a much more airy open sound than the aerials and the soundstage is much taller. I think the bass is more controlle... 
Dunlavy SC IIs
Go with t he IIIs. the foot print isn't all that large and you'll get used to the height. Dunlavy;s tend to be able to be placed close to the wall but they really need a long wall placement with 3 to 4 ft to the side walls if possible and about 10... 
Opinions on Dunlavy Aletha Speaker
Hi Garfish, I finally got the system hooked up with the speakers along the long wall. Approx 11.5 ft between the speakers and between me and each speaker, min 4 ft to the side walls. Total set-up time was about 2 minutes for speaker placement so t... 
Echo Buster or ASC for room treatment?
Go to audioasylum.com tweaks section for lots a info on DIY room treatments. Just run a search on the treatment of interest. I think Jon is a moderator, he is an active inmate at any rate. 
New To Tubes & Direct Wadia to Tube Amp
I listented to a Wdia 850 direct through an audio research VT 100 mk II and it was wonderful. I also listened to the 850 through a Pass Labs SS amp during the same session and the tube amp seemed smoother on the top end.
