Melbguy, do you know if the Eidelon Diamonds can utilize these new drivers? I must assume they are pricey, but owning the diamond tweeter, and much enjoying what the Tidal's have accomplished has piqued my desire to take the Diamond's further. 
Argo's Oscar nominations look like...
Marakanetz, wow...very deep. Maybe run for office so I can consider you more credible.

Following continuous drops in record sales since 2000, growth is much welcome news. Since, ipod is my only digital source, from download coupons included with vinyl purchases, I particularly appreciate access to the abundance of new bands, often o... 
A most welcome article
It's the overall growth in music sales, Tomcy6. And being a strong supporter of vinyl, the larger number of vinyl sales suggests an increase in new and re-release titles on vinyl.

Aerial 6 is a fine option...front ported.

Name your favorite sax solo.
Joshua Redman "Live at the Village Vanguard", St. Thomas. Great rendition of a Sonny Rollins original.
