electrocompaniet aw 100 sound quality?
not lush like a tube amp, but definitely not a typical solid-state sound. warm, w/the typical solid-state wirtues of detail & dynamics & frequency extension. i tink yule be quite happy... ;~) good luck, doug s. ps - my aw100 & aw75 (u... 
Tara Labs Quantum 3+ Tara Quantum 1V
all the cabling between my melos preamp, marchand x-over, electrocompaniet monitor amps, adcom subwoofer amps, is quantum iv. i think they're an excellent not-too-spendy cable. they seem to me to be neutral, neither highlighting, nor detracting fr... 
How to improve my old Systemdek?
the systemdek is definitely a nice 'table - spend ~$500 for the o-l tone-arm mod & dc motor/power supply mod, & ya got a hi-quality rig for not much $$$. i got a o-l rb250 & the motor kit for my oracle, & it's great. good luck, dou... 
Speaker punishing bass
snook, this was over 10 years ago, the tower lll is not a representation of vmps' current line-up. my opinion of them was excellent dynamics, detail & tonal accuracy, w/mediocre imaging/soundstaging. however, it seems that vmps has come a long...

stevemj, ewe are ignoring the camp that believes there is *no* sonic difference whatsoever, if it can't be quantified. if ewe look closer, i tink yule find that a great many of those ewe put in yer 1st camp in fact reside in the second it's yust ... 
Need Help with System
while i'm not a big fan of the current redbook-cd-standard for digital playback (i tink winyl is *much* better), i'd be surprised if the dcs a/d conwerter, w/its 24/192 sampling-rate isn't as good a a top-line analog fono-stage. foregoing the add-...

hi dan, ewe *can* get a killer analog rig for $3k if yure willing to buy used - it *will* make a substantial improvement over your current set-up, imho. i upgrade my rig a while back, & it ran almost exactly $3k. and, the origin-live modded t... 
If you Bi-Amp a 4 ohm speaker = Ohms????
as far as what ohms your amps will be seeing, i'd tink ya have to contact the speaker mfr. as to the crossover construction.as far as vertically biamping your speakers, ie: using one stereo amp per side & having the left channel drive the twee... 
Speaker punishing bass
nusrat fateh ali khan & michael brook's "night song" - amazing low-frequency information on that cd... there's also amazing bass-response on kraftwerks' "electric cafe" as a matter of fact, i had this album several years & dint realize yus... 
Melos SHA Gold Vs. Audible Illusions L1.
when melos went outta biz, the bank seized all their assets & sold it all to the folks currently auctioning it off on ebay. two of the engineers working for melos bought the rights to the name & are offering service & upgrades for melo...

a-gon: why did you delete paul mcgowan's post from this thread? while it may be construed as adwertizing, it was also most useful info, from a mfr, admitting that there is a problem w/one of his products... doug s.

stevemj, sorry, but what's all this *blather*?!? yust *listen*, man! sometimes the difference in sound between power conditioners, etc, is so obvious, it's a no-brainer, *anyone* could hear the difference. yes, even power conditioners, that aren't... 
Sub for monster BASS!!!!!!
yes, tireguy - size *does* matter! :>) this is one reason why i feel vmps has such excellent subs at a reasonable price - they don't try to squeeze drivers into a smaller box & then add transparency-robbing, efficiency-eating, expensive ele... 
Sub for monster BASS!!!!!!
pcc, one small correction - i *don't* own m-l's - i strongly considered the cls' but even m-l sez they will max out at 93db, even when crossed-over to subs at 100hz, which is too high a x-over point anyway, imho... while i'd be happy w/the cls' ou... 
Sub for monster BASS!!!!!!
ehider, i went to legacy's www to czech out the specs for this sub - there weren't any. while i'm not saying this isn't a nice sub, at $3400, i'd hope it would be. all that said, i have no desire to unload my vmps larger subs anytime soon - here's...
