Is there a reason why type 3 tapes didn’t catch on?
I don't even know what Type 3 tape is. 
Good fix-- Have you scratched the wood on your Cornwall IVs?
@jbhiller I gave the speakers away for I think $2200 or close to that.  It would cost me more to buy another pair.  This is the third time in my 50+ years that I let a pair of speakers I really loved, get away.  Some people never learn.I would lik...

@tony1954,Yes, I was 40 years old and it is the first thing I thought of. I was not some teenager.  Next time you call me a liar, back it up with real facts.

As much as I would love to try the Cornwalls at their pre-price increase, there is no way to sell my JBL's and sub and order the Cornwalls before the end of August.   There is nothing wrong with the JBL and sub combo, I would like to try something...

he is probably broke and looking for a big payout. 
BAT VK-3500 Any “ears on”experience? How does it compare to earlier BAT integrateds?
I agree.  I have found that super tube to be a bit lean sounding and in my ears, definitely not a super tube. The price of the tube is crazy expensive as well.  
Nirvana sued over "Nevermind" cover photo
When I bought the record when it came out in the early 90’s, my first thought was “I wonder when the baby in the photo will sue the record company”. Now I know.  I will say the record cover is NOT child porn or any other kind of porn in my opinion... 
Sound bar for Dialogue
I also use the ZVOX for dialogue on my Samsung TV.  It made a world of difference as I can now hear what people are saying without having to raise the volume.  Mine is at least 8 years old, cost was around $160.00. It sounds better than any sound ...

tony1954I agree wholeheartedly. 
Should i replace my MC255 macintosh 5 channel amp?
@ emergingsoul You are using a inexpensive preamp with a expensive Mac amp. What do you expect? 
2.1 to 5.2 (Vandersteen 2C)
The sound from my Samsung TV was quite anemic, so I bought a zVox for $250.00 and love it.  I has settings for dialog and now we don't need the TV loud to hear what is being said.  I never use my audio system with the TV.

Good information.  I'm actually thinking of selling my JBL L100 Classic speakers and SVS sub and get a pair of the Cornwall IV.  I understand they are going up in price in September

You love the speakers yet want to change the tweeter(s)?  Perhaps you don't love them as much as you think. 
Discovered I had a One Step pressing....from 1978!
I have that record, got it from one of the audio reps when I sold audio.  It sounds excellent for the year but I was not then and now a fan of the LP. 
Why the cost increase?
@kaarmstrongYes, there are many jobs but they need to pay a living wage.  Anything less is totally unacceptable.
