Snell Type A V5 replacement driver question
Pb-any chance you have a bass driver for the Snell CIV? 
Best Speakers You Have Ever Heard In Your Home
My current and last loudspeakers, a pair of great Vandersteen 5As. 
Tony Bennett
Frogman,I had the chance to see Sinatra twice, very late in his career, and also at Radio City each time. A very different experience, a full orchestra, his son conducting, and a great experience. At the same stage of his career Tony Bennett STILL...

Jazzcourier, Carmines on Bleeker, on the corner there? Nice story! 
Vandersteen 2ce vs Sonus Faber Luito
Do you not like what you have currently? What are you trying to accomplish, or is this just an opportunistic, impulse grab? Do you get any bass at all from you current speakers? I can;t imagine you do. 
It was 20 years ago today. . What was your system?

Vandersteen 5A

Vandersteen 5A
No, I meant tone controls. I bought a Luxman 509U integrated a year ago. For that exact reason (plus it has pre-out/main-in that is needed for the 5As). Mostly do not use the tone controls, but when they are needed they are a savior. I suspect I a... 
Vandersteen 5A
Roxy54, not so for me. At times I question why I spent as much as I did. Not that I don't love the sound, but still, $19K is a LOT to pay for a component, any component. I am finished with components, I am satisfied, very satisfied, with my system...
