Tom:  thank you so much for the info on the speaker grills.   I posted the link above just because i thought it was interesting.  It does not surprise me a  bit that Thiel speakers would not treat them as an after thought.   I still remember calli...

congrats Pwhinson.  sounds like you hit a home run with the Pass amp. Professor:  do you have a small stereo shop in your home.   that is a heck of a speaker collection.

Dan:  I certainly understand about your speakers starting to morph.   mine were actually pretty bad the first night i heard them but now they are fantastically good. Jeff Joseph speakers are great and I am adding Magico because I liked what I hea...

hi Jafant,   truthfully i buy direct from PS but Taylor is only about 30 minutes from my home.   he is who i got my 2.7's from back in 2014.  of course the 3.7's  came from Rob at CST.  I have not been to Goldprint since i got the 2.7's and i know...

Jafant:   I am in Greensboro NC for what that is worth  as you mentioned the southeast.

thank you.   I really cannot emphasize enough how much the new P15 power plant transformed my system.   As i posted in my review on their website: "I have not heard my system with the BHK mono blocks (have the BHK 250), so what I am going to say ...

Jafant,   i may be wrong but i think it was sonic frontiers but do not hold me to that.  i have to say that the BHK amp really gives me the best of both worlds.  liquid and romantic like tubes,  but also very detailed.  they have voiced it well.
