Best new loudspeaker
That replication is either faithful in the areas that matter, or not. Now as to which areas matter and how much - well, that would be a topic rich with diversity of opinion. Agreed - this type discussion might be worthwhile but it requires a cert... 
Best new loudspeaker
i wish they would remove the word "best" from the english language, as it engeneders arguments. Exactly...becuase to yourself you see everything as an argument....instead myself and others are trying to concentrate efforts on furthering knowledge...

I'd recommend phantom in your case... 
System sounds different at different times Why?
Perhaps power sags during the day - perhaps there is an industry nearby that is on the grid - is there more light during the day - this may affect your mood?.My system sounds the same day or night. 
why my speaker can not play louder
Unless there is a thermal protection circuit for the tweeter then you must be cooking them too much. Basically speaker voice coils get VERY VERY hot - 200 deg Celius!! ( sorry ....Celsius ) is not unheard of.See thisApart from the obvious problems... 
Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers
Jkalman,You have me convinced. I'll order it.

i have never noticed a note jumping out at me. perhaps, it is because my favorite location is the last row orchestra. The reason certain notes jump out at you when listening to more of reverberant field compared to a direct sound field is because... 
Looking for speakers with soundstage depth
Marty,I agree about mini-monitors playing the disappearing act and great imaging, however, I agree with MrT and others that suggest that dipole designs will consistently throw a "deep" soundstage (even if it isn't a particularly good recording the...

Try the Orions (I own a pair) - they have a very similar midrange but don't suffer from panel limitations.I have not heard them - but I agree that this design will definitely sound closer to MrTennis's prized Quad's than most conventional box spe...

What do you think of the Moulton Labs 8 CD's and course? Do you think it is worth it for non audio professionals (8 CD's = $220 )....above all was it fun, a revelation? 
Best recordings to demonstrate soundstage?
If you want live music with great Soundstage try Harry James & his Big Band - Sheffield Labs...if Harry is not there in front of you and in your room then something is not quite right with the setup.George Bensen - Weekend in LA - On Broadway ... 
Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers
This is generally accepted to be simply good loudspeaker engineering. Absolutely agree. Dr Toole's experiments helped demonstrate this to the industry..although I believe many designers knew this to be important. 
PRE_AMP for ATC- actives??
Bgordon,That must be 10 Kilo ohm input impedance which is pretty much standard. 
Please recommend really nice surround speakers
I agree with Kennyt. So many people complain about HT sound quality but at the same time use a "dogs breakfast" of gear. 
Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers
Not necessarily flat, but smooth. Agreed - exactly! Very few people are aware of this. When I talk about tone control adjustments audiophiles cringe ....but they should not. It is no crime to tweak in this way. In fact a ruler flat on axis respon...
