| How to shop for speakers? I would buy these speakers: http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrfull&1294260628&/JM-Labs-Mezzo-Utopia-Loudspeak. Their current cost would be around $30,000 at least judging from the recent inflation of audio equipment prices. They u... | |
| Speaker cabinets: How important is inert You can't separate it; good drivers in a bad cabinet sound bad; bad drivers in a good cabinet sound bad. In a speaker, even more than other components, execution of the total package is critical. Most of my speakers use the BBC "Thinwall" design w... | |

| Krell KSA100 MKI power consumption Real class A is about 25% efficient so 100 + 100 watts should require that amount x4 or 800 watts. Remember that true class A amps draw FULL current at idle. I use to sell the KSA 100s and they did draw a lot of current. Later Krell designs use a ... | |
| Problem with older REL subs & class D amps The purpose of the dealer [I am one] is to be the go between between the importer and /or manufacture and the customer. I find that nowadays I know no more about a produce than anyone else as I have no more info than is posted on the web site. Alm... | |

| Is it okay to talk around your speakers? My calendar says Nov 7, 2010; did I fall into a time warp and it is now actually April 1, 2011? | |
| How much power is too much for a Quad 988? You can overdrive them if you try; I had a customer who regularly did so and damaged them several times. But they were in obivious distress before this happned. The 63s would do about 97db at one meter, I didn't sell the 988s but I believe they wi... | |
| ac cable for cd transport It made a big difference on mine; but hard to predict. Why don't you try one of the ones you have now on the transport and see if it makes a big difference. Put on a cheaper cable in place of one of the good ones, listen a while to adjust your ear... | |
| Naim Supernait with Vienna Acoustic Beethoven Baby Assuming it has as much power as you need I would think it would work very well but have not heard them together. | |
| cardas golden cros vs golden reference From what I have heard from users of the ICs it sounds as if the Golden Cross is a little sweeter than the GR but as always it will depend on the rest of your gear. I use the GR speaker cables but other ICs. | |
| Are the PSB Platinum's too dated? Older top speakers are almost always a good buy; progress is often slow and can be retrograde. In any case is often very expensive. Last year I bought a Focal Mini Utopia with the tiatanium rather than the berilliam tweeter. I paid $2200 used and ... | |
| Empire head shell I had Empires about 40 years ago, I think it comes out as I believe I still have an insert somewhere, but it was a long time ago. Soldering the leads is a real pain if I remember correctly. |
