Anyone have thoughts on the Peak Consult Zoltans?
Stereovox,thanks for the enlightening response.Very nice of you!Though with the class you have shown here,I am not surprised.Not to say I feel Audiooracle is also not a quality person,and I truly understand the feelings/agenda intended.I believe b... 
Stand alone tweeters
I,too have been,and still am fascinated with these.I have a speaker that is ruler flat to 25khz,but feel that the Murata has the capability(?)of keeping my speaker competitive with the newer technology in tweets.The ceramic driver/wide dispersion ... 
CAT Preamps vs Amps
No solid state man!My boy!Prefferably tubes in my heart of hearts,yet having had both on my Ascents,the two chassis modified 8t is of the ilk that even my tube "only" crowd is hard pressed to identify a sonic signature!Runs dead cold,too.What's no... 
CAT Preamps vs Amps
Sorry if I sound like I'm a defender of a topology,but the Rowland 8t/9t series amps are SUPERB,in every meaningful category,on Avalons.Especially the four chassis 9t's!!I DO LOVE tubes,yet the Avalon vintages of the Ascent/Osiris era do sound won...

I must admit,Phaser,you are right on the money about one thing......I'm sorry for initiating the post!! I never meant for a "War Of The Worlds" atmosphere to come about,yet that is where these threads have "SHRUNK" to!! I certainly hold no animosi... 
Oracle Delphi vs. ??? fill in the blank.
Obviously the SME is a good match.Oracle offers their own,specialized version,of that arm.As long as you can set the suspension (which is not too tough)it is fine. Take a look at the Oracle web page for info. Best!

WOW,what did I do,to allude to anyone feeling they could irk me,into feeling "one" was obstinant?? -:) I simply initiated this thread to gain info on some products that interest me.There are loads of audio "toys" that are just fine,as far as I'm c... 
Sonic difference between the CAT JL2 Sig & CAT JL3
John,who are you kidding!!Once a dedicated(hooked)audiophile "knows" of an upgrade path,there is NO way to rationalize NOT doing it!! -:) Yet,you already knew this,before posting!! Best!

I believe another issue is the cost of manufacture,where each "local area" will determine pricing.Does the manufacturer offer med insurance/work conditions/vacation/general wages etc!We have all heard sad stories regarding the salaries of some far... 
kharma 3.2 & sub...
I too heard the Kharma sub,at HE 2005.Sorry,but it was NOT seamless.I heard it on two different days.If you ever heard the magical Lamm 2.1 drive this speaker,in a really good room/set-up,I'd find it hard to believe any "music lover" could feel th... 
Oracle Delphi vs. ??? fill in the blank.
Add to GMORRIS' well heeled comments,that the Oracle pricing is still ALOT more "wallet friendly" than the vast majority of "upper tier" competition. I get the impression that the newest state of the art contenders are actually factoring in "what ...

In fairness I have "scoped out" the latest offerings by Usher!!They definitely DO look to be incredible bargains!! Keeping abreast of the latest technology in drivers,and nice meaty cabinet weight,and stunning looksAnyone have exposure to the late... 
kharma 3.2 & sub...
I'm just wondering,as I love the little 3.2's,has anyone heard,or better yet,compared these with the Mini Exquisites? Best! 
Oracle Delphi vs. ??? fill in the blank.
The Oracle is a timeless "CLASSIC"!I am really amazed as to how it does not, still, get the well deserved attention,it deserves!It sounds superb,and will last a long time.The fact that it looks good should be no hinderance.BTW...I happens to have ...

Show conditions.Not surprising.Actually when I bought my current Ascents I did not care for them,yet had that certain "feeling".Same with the Peaks.Hope this quells your obstinance!
