Airplane trip with turntable...
I recently carried on a turntable on a flight to the CES Show. A good thing i had a record with me because TSA wanted to see if it was really a turntable. I put on Al Coltrane and to my surprise the TSA agent had seen him live and really loved the... 
Sota Sapphire S/N- 14,584--- Saved from trash
Simple: Call the manufacture. They are really really nice. You might consider sending it to them to refurbish and upgrade.

If you were to try to line up the drivers how would you find the " acoustic center" of a driver. In a midrange or woofer would that be about half way out from the center or would it be further out because the majority of the area of a larger drive...

Wouldn't it be easier just to tilt the speaker slightly backwards? I just want to listen to good music 
Best 300B SET
Johnk is correct. 
Best 300B SET
Not sure what your speakers are but you might look at Sophia Electra, they have a couple of versions of a stereo version as well as mono blocks, and a company called Japanese Triode has a nice set of mono blocks, the TRX-M300 . Go beyond the obvio... 
Most overrated audio manufacturers?
Any time I read and advertisement or read about a product that starts with the word" Reference" I know it is bull%$##@ 
Interesting film, "The Distortion of Sound."
The video spells out the death of music. I couldn't agree more. I would think that companies like Sony would promote events like the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest…have big booths and sell hi quality CD's. I guess that is not were the profit is. Profit... 
Interesting film, "The Distortion of Sound."
Thanks for the heads up on this film. So true it is. Most of the artists interviewed describe the loss of emotional content with the low fi recordings. I guess when we listen to systems we should be listening for emotion.

I have a question. If an 18kHz sound left its' source and a 30Hz sound wave left its source at the same time. would they both get to the listener at the same time? 
Most overrated audio manufacturers?
Elizabeth Sounds you are getting a bit cynical. Easy to do isn't it. I used to work for a big hi fi shop in Denver back in the mid 70's. 8 tracks were just leaving and cassette tapes on the way in and vinyl running strong. The interesting thing is... 
Most overrated audio manufacturers?
It is amazing how many there are. Those companies that promise improved sound and advanced engineering. All you get is shiny drivers bigger and more complex crossovers. Less cohesion, and muddy bass. Having said that isn't that what we in America ... 
What happened to Audio Aero?
I was a dealer for Audio Aero. Very nice gear from France as I recall. I met the owner/designer at the CES Show in Vegas years ago, thinking about 2004, they were showing with a pair of speakers that I mistook for Sonus Faber but they were actuall...

Simply putting the voice coils in the same plane does guarantee a cohesive and coherent sound. Drivers that are placed close together are just as important for a cohesive sound.It is equally important to have a bass driver that is as fast as the m...
