Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Wow, Gpowered....... just wow. Are you aware that you now have zero credibility? 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
For the record, I love the Lore and will buy a new pair when I settle in CA. I have moved several times in my life and it truly sucks. It's a HUGE hassle and things often get lost or damaged. I decided to NOT put myself through that. This time I a... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
One last question before placing an order. What's the consensus on bass response. I like BIG bass as I listen mostly to Electronic, Jazz and R&B. In the past, I have owned Totem Forest, ACI Sapphire XL, and Ascend Sierra. The Sapphires were my...

Question, what color is that driver? In some pics it looks blue and in others it looks gray. Does it not come in black? 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
YAY! government shutdown averted, so I will call Eric and order a pair of Lores. Any Amp suggestions? I was thinking either Decware Zen Triode or the Peachtree iDecco. 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Hey Lore owners, any of you guys go with a finish other than the standard satin black? Do you have any pictures? After MONTHS of reading I have decided to make a purchase, but still not sure if I want to pay the finish up-charge. At the end of the... 
Replacing Totems One's
ACI Sapphire XL is an amazing monitor. You should be able to find used pair at that price. HUGE soundstage, big bass for such a small speaker. All Scanspeak drivers. 
Peachtree Nova in da' House
Delavagus, they have a Decco trade in program? DO TELL! 
Peachtree Nova in da' House
Is it a noticeable improvement over the Decco? Meaning if it were a blind test could you pick out which was the Decco and which was the Nova? 
Replacement tube for Peachtree Audio Decco?
I like my speakers, very much actually, I am using the Swan D2.1SE monitors. Actually I am happy with the sound of the Decco, but I keep hearing that better tubes mean better sound, and most say the you can do better than the stock Chinese tube. 
Bel Canto Service and Customer Support Quality
Bel Canto has great customer service. There are two guys I want to say their names are Mark and Matthew. They are very knowledgeable and are very good about returning calls. I highly recommend Bel Canto. 
YOUR Favorite Bookshelf/Monitor below $500
B&W 685 are $650. My favorites change from day to day. I was leaning towards the AV123 X-LS mainly because of the reviews of the previous model and the real wood veneers. You have to figure with the internet direct brands you are getting more ... 
powered speakers for airport express
Audioengine speakers are FANTASTIC. It is amazing that you get that sound for that price. 
HELP USB to DAC = Loud Bursts of Volume
It has only happened when connected via USB and while music was playing. Once you mentioned static a light went off. I am sure that at least two of the times this has happened, it was as I touched the MB Pro, and I distinctly remember static elect... 
USB into DAC vs Airport Express into DAC
I have a Bel Canto integrated with a USB built in. They are a pretty good company so I assume it is a better than decent USB converter.
