Kal was right!
  I'll be very curious to read how it goes, rpeluso! I'm intrigued by these speakers and the fact you drove them with a tube amp is cool.  I use Conrad Johnson Premier 12s, 140W/side tube monos.   I'm actually most intrigued by the smaller S5M ... 
Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound
I think a lot of people who are non-believers in speaker wire are those either have difficulty writing the check or are jealous about those who can.  As a result they put down others who can.   That is, sorry to say, a facile and self serving ... 
Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound
@grisleybutter....$2000.00 speaker cable sounds no better than $20.00 cables?..well maybe if your playing in the Zu,Tekton arena but I suggest you listen a system that has the ability to prove how just absolutely idiotic your statement was. Uh.... 
Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass
  I'm an outlier apparently. I had two JL Audio subs with their fantastic CR-1 crossover and also added DSP. Nothing life changing.  Didn't do much for me.   Didn't find the added low bass to be significant and I preferred the tonality of my sp...

@ydjames A lot of Thiel owners use Tube linestage to have a more musical presentation and less glare.   Yes that’s a sort of typical combo people try when they attempt to get the best of both worlds, tubes and solid state.   And it makes som... 
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
  As mentioned I was curious about other people's take on a situation like this. I thought it would be a subject of interest, and clearly it was. Also, I was still not perfectly decided on exactly what I was going to do.   People raised some is... 
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
But this guy never did the right thing by you ,ever.   Actually he did tons of things right by me.   We were close friends on and off for a long time and he was often very generous.  He's a good guy who fell on some hard times.           ... 
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
^^^ Keepin' it classy. This thread isn't sour enough for millercarbon apparently.  ;-)  
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
Update:   To my astonishment he replied to my second email. (As I said, I kept things friendly and open). He replied tersely that he doesn’t listen to music anymore and to toss them. Sounds sad. I gather he’s still having some problems. (He gene... 
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
  I was given his purportedly current email address.   I sent him a friendly email asking if he wanted his records, and that he could pick them up if he'd like.   We'll see what happens.  I'd actually prefer to give them back to him.  For me ...

My intention is to introduce a limited edition of this stand-mount monitor that builds on Jim's life work to create a very refined speaker with high musical engagement. Looking forward to it!  :-) 
Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
I have a variety of speakers, from floor standing to standmounts.I recently got rid of my subs/crossover/DSP unit.Ultimately I didn't find it added much to my speakers, and I found I preferred the tone and palpability of my speakers without the su... 
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
LOL.   Thanks."You know how I know you're American?";-) 
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
Quite a range of opinions!Thanks folks!At this point my plan is still to contact him and see if he wants the records or if I'll sell them (and keep what I want).I'll report back on whatever happens.

I think I may have mentioned earlier in this thread...I actually just returned my Townshend speaker bars that I tested under my Thiel 2.7s (which sit on a sprung wood floor, covered in carpet).Like I've said, the Townshend spring based products ar...
