Need help replacing my beloved Magnepan....
A pair of Lii Crystal 10 (10 inch diameter) full range speakers ($1000 a pair plus shipping from China)......Make a tall foot wide cabinet and mount them towards the top.....will blow your mind.  Something like 99db sensitivity.  Do a search....ev...

What amp is it and what amp did you have before? 
Demo'ing Class A amps, Appreciation Suggestions from those who recently been there
http://www.10audio.com/valvet_e2-se.htm Not much power.....but I bet plenty for 94db speakers at the levels you listen to. 
Focal Tweaks
Kenjit is correct.....almost all commercial speakers can benefit from felting, removing the xover from the box....changing all wire, caps, coils and resistors to better parts, hardwiring it all, etc. etc.. Clarity cap MRs bypassed by copper foils ... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Class D is not digital and there are no "digital" parts in the amps.  Class D uses chips that are easily attainable and will be around as long as parts used in Class A amps.  Here is the rub......if your class D module breaks then it is usually re... 
Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies?
That "older" Spatial X2 design is no where near as good as the latest cheaper ones.   That speaker has a passive 15 and a wave guided AMT.  The new X3 has a powered 15, a passive custom 12 inch mid and the same AMT tweet as the older one.....and i... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Another full range speaker company getting ravs is the Lii Audio. The 15 and the best 10 inch drivers are 97-99db sensitive....made quite well. People on the Decware forum are going crazy over them. Just talked to a friend who likes his Lii F-15s ... 
What country builds the best audio equipment?
What country is free from corona?......we all all humans. Are countries even real?  Have you ever stood on a border?  It is just a piece of earth.  We don't own any of this.  In our oneness there is just us.....just Love.Excellence and craftsmansh...

There is no such thing as straight wire with gain.  Every single inch of wire sounds different from every other kind of wire and even the directionality of the wire makes an audible difference.  Every single thing inside a power amp (class A, B, C... 
Voyager GaN Amp ... anyone have one?
How many months?  You figure it out.   You paid me July 2 and it was shipped August 21 (same year).  You get frustrated very easily, it seems. Relax, try being more patient...every moment is perfect....breath, enjoy and love it.  Whereas you menti...

Would require more technical ability and energy than I have and my health could be better (I will leave the amp making to the younger guns) .....but mostly I am writing a book that hopefully will make more difference in the happiness of people tha...

What have other owners of Tekton Design Ulfberht Speakers discovered?
Imagine how much better the speaker would be if you fully modded the xover.....OMG times infinity! Very hard to remove (hot glued in) but if you removed it and moved it outside the speaker and upgraded every part on it.......OMG. In series with th... 
Voyager GaN Amp ... anyone have one?
Emailed Walter and he said the first 6 (baby batch) were being shipped this week and the next serious batch will be shipped at the end of April.  He said the board has gone through 3 revisions with each one sounding better.  He did not want to rel...

GaN transisitors don’t cost any more than mosfets. People are charging more for GaN amps because it is the latest buzzword and they are first out so they gouge you. The EPC GaN fet recommended by EPC for audio use costs $1.05 each at 100 quantity....
