Ear protection for concerts
Dreadhead, my youngin is full growed, an charting his own course. He bought the Etymomic plugs after seeing the Black Keys at a small venue, with a big venue sound system. I think he sent me the link to Etymotic in a futile effort to keep me from ... 
Ear protection for concerts
My son uses the Etymotic ER 20 for concerts. 
Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics:
I could not find brass screws which were a close match. I did tighten the screws on my TAD 805SD a couple inlbs. They still sound great, especially for the price, but nothing startling to report here either. 
Good sounding 70's live LPs...

Crankforward bike leaning against the ferry boats rail. I'll be listening to the bow wave lap by, an idle chit chat. Glorious crossings bring the young lass with her cello to enjoy the focsle acoustics. Interupting anothers life for a dance is ok.... 
Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics:
USblues - In da middle, and mine is cal'ed by a friend who works in a calibration lab. Also a good point about messing with $$$$ speakers too. I plan to start with TAD 805. With the Tanto speakers I will walk the torque setting up to see if any tu... 
Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics:
I'll probably dig out my Utica 6 -30 inlb screwdriver, and try this tweak. My Gemme Audio Tanto speakers do not have grills, and the fronts are black, so the fun part will be blackening the brass screws.http://www.modelboatyard.com/blackening.html

Might as well make sure the screws stay torqued too.http://www.threadlockers.com/vibratite.jspI torque screws on my spring guns (pellet guns), and use vibratite to ensure they stay put. One of the nice features of Vibratite as a thread locker is t... 
Flea SET amp for Shindo Aurieges
Another tube friendly single driver with great bass, that is made closer to you, is the Gemme Audio VAVICE made in Montreal. So you might find a dealer close by.I have the Tanto which employs the same Vflex technology, and the same cabinet I belie... 
Any new up & coming high end speaker lines?
Gemme Audio's Katana. Size, aesthetics, full range... but the cost is lower than you specify. They are also introducing a new model in April.http://66.130.192.248:9081/gemmeAudio/features.html 
Montan "WAS" speakers . ANY INFO?
I can't answer your question, but somethin' tells me the PBN Audio "whup-ass speaker" model was not made with set amps in mind. :) 
Buying from Canada a hassle for you too?
I'm putting together my first high end system, heck I haven't had a system of any type in the last twenty five years or so. Audiogon is great!I have a pair of Gemme Audio speakers on the way from Canada to Washington right now. They were delayed a...
