Volti Vittora with Sub & Amp Crossover - Thoughts?
Based on hearing the Rivals….they are going to be great!  
Transmission line speakers!
A few interesting transmission line articles: https://pmc-speakers.com/support/faq-page/how-do-transmissions-lines-differ-ported-and-vented-speakers http://www.sanderssound.com/technical-white-papers/56-transmission-line-white-paper https://cdn... 
Transmission line speakers!
Many of the Salk loudspeakers are transmission line...as are the new Philharmonic Audio towers. https://www.salksound.com/type.php?format=Floorstanding https://www.philharmonicaudio.com/Measurements-BMR-Tower.html When executed properly, the ba... 
Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier
I don't know anything about circuits or amplifier design....this is from the Carver website...take a look at pages 11-13 and their description. https://9d0691c9-2bb0-4a51-acf2-a4e121ccc931.filesusr.com/ugd/7c4708_fe81ce14b4b54e618bcfd77c7628d241.... 
Who uses ADS Speakers
I bought a pair of the 810 series 2 in the 80s… loved them.  So did my brother. Then after many years I moved on but gave him mine. He still has both pairs… 25+ yeard old, working perfectly and the tweeters are still sticky.    Great speakers!  
No more Zu Dirty Weekends replacement suggestions
The dirty weekend pops up frequently for sale on the preowned sites...they are almost always in good shape and they almost always sell quickly.  Here is a link...but you will need to check at least every day and be prepared to act quickly. https:... 
RIP Tommy Obrien - Cherry Amp
Here is a follow up from the Audio Circle thread. "He died of complications from Covid.  The last text I received was on Friday 12/10 that said he was improving.  I reached out multiple times over the past week and didn’t hear back I am very sadd... 
Can You Hear Me Now
Go to a concert to hear an artist three nights in a row and you will undoubtedly have a favorite of the three.  Now go and listen to the same artist and three different venues and again you will have a favorite.Same artist every time...which was t... 
My Experience With Tekton
Back to the Grills!Jason from 2 channel audio said in his review of he Uruz on June 26th that he had ordered the speakers on Feb 22nd...which he received late June, but without the grills.  He said he then called Tekton and they said that with the... 
Ohm Speakers and Services prices to increase September 1st
It may hurt new sales but it should certainly help preowned sales! 
My Experience With Tekton
I suspect that Tekton elicits responses positive and negative (which results in a certain amount of defensiveness) because of things that have happened over the years.  Back in 2013 they had a big hit on their hands with the Lores and ended up wit... 
Subwoofer adjustment for each recording
Does the statement "seems too strong" mean you don't actually enjoy the stronger bass on these recordings....or....you enjoy it but don't know if you are supposed to enjoy it?For my two cents, the system/tuning/music should always be to what sound... 
And Now, For All You Omni Fanatics
Doug,  thanks for this review.  On one hand, Ohm doesn't get much coverage and the coverage it does get often leaves the reader with unanswered questions.  On the other hand, they've been around for 50 years which says a lot about their products a... 
What traditional dynamic speakers deliver a sonic signature similar to a horn speaker?
How about Volti… the Razz for example.  
Considering the Parasound A23+ amplifier
Personally, I found the A23 (didn't own the A23+) to be dull...as though listening through a blanket.  Another member here, Whitextix, has both a Don Sachs preamp and power amp...and just purchased a Purifi as a "run cooler" option for the summer....
