Can you ever go back and be happy?
" I could never get used to 6' wide mouths of vocalists on planar speakers."LOL, thats funny!, I'm glad my Apogees don't do that.Dave

Can you ever go back and be happy?
I kept my last 4 pair of speakers because I liked them all. Two boxes (one large/one small), one small hybred, one large planer type.If I ever buy another pair I'm going to get some horns...some BIG HORNS! Used speakers aren't worth much you know.... 
Review: Audio Mirror D-1 DA converter
Nice review Skyboy...the Audio Mirror sounds like a very good Dac and even better that Royy backs this up. I've been looking for something that had some of the traits of the SN-Dac and Ack Dac in one package...this is an interestig new Dac.Dave 
Best system for jazz?
E-stats, horns, planers IMO. Each of those types comes with what could be component/setup restrictions for some people so trade-off will not bring out their best.If you have few-no restrictions then I would also throw in Apogee speakers as a must ... 
Is the SACD Format Flawed?
Like redbook...not all sacd's are created equal. That said, a well recorded sacd played on a good sacd player is fantastic.I'm not playing around with sacd's at this time as I only own a Pioneer 563A sacd player which to my ear is no better than a... 
Apogee Duetta Sig + Sonic Frontiers Power 2 SE
Try asking at the Apogee speaker forum, I own Duetta Sig's but only use a tube pre-amp.Many people there have reported great results with tube amps although I don't recall which ones...try "tubes" in that sites search engine also.here is a link:ht... 
Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer
Thanks Eldartford, I found the Ashley and Behringer manuals...I'll compare price and features.Dave 
Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ?
Apogee made many models, some were amp eaters with the Scintillas maybe at the head of that list.Other models like my Duetta Signatures are not amp eaters at all and can be used even with tube amps. When my big amp went in for service I used a lit... 
Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer
Was wondering if you Knew anything about the DCX-2496...these are on sale at $250 shipped right now.Was thinking about using one of these as a stereo X-over between my Pre and amp? I'm using balanced cables so this seems to be one idea that would ... 
Bose 901
Dazzdax, My 901 three series were very musical, their rolled-off top end made early cd's sound much better than they were. They had fair-good bass response and the huge wall of sound was a plus for the types of music I enjoyed in those days...Rock... 
Bose 901
I owned a pair back in the 70's...loved the "wall of sound" and was very impressed that all that sound came from those two little speakers.I had them matched with Sansui AU-717 Int. amp and TU-717 tuner along with a Thorens turntable.I moved from ... 
Best planar, elctro......budget and room concerns
Most of the Apogee hybrid designs work well in smaller rooms, I have a pair of Centaur Minors that I used to use in my 12x17' living room.Shipping can be a problem with Apogee speakers though so may not fit the bill unless you find a pair near you... 
"will ship at buyer's risk and expense"
NathanuThe buyer is not the insured party...he's only paying for it.Dave
