Puzzled about reasons why there seems to be no shortage of used planner speakers
I suspect there is one more issue that applies to many of us... “our sense of what sounds good” changes over time. Planars sound great this year... high efficiency next year... and so on. The LRS will undoubtedly be lacking in some areas... and wo... 
Salk VS Monitor Audio
Good question... part of the answer is how loud do you listen, part is how much do you value bottom end punch and part is how much do you need top end liquidity.  Based on Axpona feedback... a good strategy might be to start with one aegir run in ... 
Tekton tweeter design
First a disclaimer.. I don’t own currently Tekton and I haven’t heard the array. I like what Eric has done for two reasons. 1.  He designed something he knew from theory might be problematic.  Then he tweaked it and probably demo’d it for people a... 
Salk VS Monitor Audio
I think your Halo gear would be a great match... and I have zero doubt that the sound will be a step up. I own the Salk Veracity STs played through a Belles 22a pre and Halo A23... and a friend has the Salk Beats played through Luxnan gear... Salk... 
I wan't the best in this price range
Just as a question... I’m sure you tried different angles, tilts and room positions for the zu to see if you could eliminate the harshness???OK,  you have mentioned bass several times so it would seem that the zu must seem bass shy?  My experience...

Tekton Double Impacts
I have a different thought about the pricing issue....and I fully admit that it is probably incorrect.When you think about it, there are at least 50+ successful loudspeaker companies...which basically says that there are lots of different tastes i... 
Tekton tweeter design
@travbrow.   My point/ question was that this is not an expensive or exotic tweeter.... so how well does it do piano... or trumpet... or cymbals.... or saxophone or other hard to get right tones?  Is the tone/pitch good or is it outstanding?   All... 
Tekton tweeter design
Erik.... whether someone is a tekton fan or not....many are curious as to what the array is and how it works....so thanks for the link. Maybe  your thread name should be “Tekton Tweeter Array Design and Workings”. Two things the diy thread doesn’t... 
Switched outlet for power amp
First, let me say that this may not be the perfect solution...but it is an interesting option that might work...especially since your amp is soft start which means you are less likely to get a thump...no matter what order you turn things on/off as...

Pop-up spam is making this site unusable.
Here are two solutions that seem to be working. 1.  Don’t use the safari browser... download google and use that browser for audiogon. 2. Go to the App Store and download stopad... it’s free... this seems to allow you to then use safari. Will repo... 
BELLES VIRTUOSO INTEGRATED UPDATE
Hmmmmm......it seems to me that if you hint, announce or suggest that you might be retiring....just as you are about to introduce a new product....this may not be the best marketing strategy unless you also announce how future service will be hand... 
I need bass
Let me throw this out for your consideration...the ear/brain wants to hear a balance....bass and treble.  If for some reason...room, speakers, positioning, etc. there is not enough bass, then the treble is perceived by the brain  as being "too bri...
