Speakers for low power amps?
Wow. Looks like i found a subject that Twl really likes to talk about : ) Thanks for sharing so much info and background about this design, as it is both interesting and different. I'll have to take a look at the info that El mentioned as being at... 
Speakers for low power amps?
Twl: I've never really looked at a Voight pipe, etc... but wouldn't a tapered quarter wave pipe be a transmission line design? Sean> 
Do Kimber KCAG's sound bright????
Kimber's silver cabling to me sounds bright. All the Adcom preamp's that i've ever heard are bright. Most Bryston amps, especially the older versions, are on the bright side too. Hopefully, you're not running metal dome tweeters... Having said tha...

Tom: I live in a three story house. As i've mentioned before, my girlfriend is extremely tolerant of the mounds of electronics scattered all over the house. Then again, one of the spare bedrooms that we have acts as her "walk in closet", so i gues... 
MG-1 Air Bearing Tonearm? Anyone experience it?
I don't think that Tom has a lot of experience with linear trackers, let alone air bearing arms. Then again, i don't think that he would mind if you wanted to send him the arm along with another table to set up and check out for free. This would a...

http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgtnrm&1113153379I was looking at one of those too. I'd really be curious to see what folks think about them, especially if they're already familiar with an ET II type arm, etc... Looks to be a bargain ...

Look for a lower powered unit that has the features that you want, along with preamp level out's. You can then run the Carver for your mains and the remaining channels for your center and surrounds. This will minimize your expenditures while takin... 
Why do intelligent people deny audio differences?
While i said i wasn't going to do it, here i am again. As if i could have stayed away.... : )Rs: Your attitude on this thread is noticeably different than where we left off on the other thread that you took down the same route. After i had fully d...

gmarcotte: 50 wpc is not enough to drive an NHT with any type of authority. As far as THX certification goes, that doesn't mean squat. If THX certification meant something, all of those horrid HT receivers wouldn't be nearly as horrid or anemic as... 
Where has the respect gone?
I have been working with a local teenager that is interested in hi-fi. After running through the basics of system building and explaining why it is typically better to deal with "dedicated audiophiles" from Agon rather than Ebayer's, we found an a... 
can anyone help me??
Without knowing anything about anything other than what you supposedly don't like, and we don't even know what you don't like about them, we can't offer any form of help or positive commentary. Other than that, i think that you've got problems in ...

As a side note, the last receivers that i purchased for friends / family were quite a while back. As it turns out, these units were on this list and actually did MUCH better than the average. I'm talking about the Sherwood AM-9080, which was rated...

Modsound: While your post quoting me looks to be addressed to Audiobugged, Audiobugged never responded to this thread. What is it that you were trying to say? Sean>
