Salk HT3 vs Sonus Faber Domus Grand Piano
Sonus Faber has a loyal following, as do Jim Salk's speakers. The Audiocircle forum has a Salk speciic forum and many former VMPS (and other speaker mfg) owners swear by their HT3's. There is one universal comment about them, though, they are a ma... 
best shippers?
Update: Thanks to another poster on another related thread I went to Team Air and wow....a great price, great delivery services, and an air-ride trailer. I will report back after delivery. 
best shippers?
Bax positively will not pick up from anything but a business address. They consider a storage facility a residential non-biz address. I'm going to go with Bullet freight systems and add insurance. Here's hoping. 
best shippers?
I'm trying to get large ATC speakers (370 lbs, one palleted crate, 2 smaller boxes @ 40lbs each for stands) shipped from the seller's mini storage site in Oregon to me in N. Ohio. Local BAX says they need to be from a business (i.e where I bought ... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I'd love to talk about modding my ATC's. Assuming my amp packs are a bit tired I'd certainly love to understand what could be done vs. recapping the existing arrangement. Always open to new niche solutions. Would you offer them regardless of what ... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Yes, in their larger sound room (the one with 5 150a's) they soffit mounted them all around, and had considerable RPG treatment, as well. However, in soundroom 2 (mostly used for editing) the 150's and 50's were open air and sounded great regardle...

Shadorne,No, I'm not in the music biz, but was lucky enough to get the Telarc tour and some great advise from some in the biz. I'm hoping that the used 150a's are somewhat up to spec (SL's, amps still good, etc.) but realize they don't have the ne...

I also have a pair of Ridge Street Sasons coming for my other room.....I wonder which will make this list (both have been previously mentioned ). I love choices. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Warrenh,He spells it out right in his ad:"I have received numerous emails from people who can't quite believe I am selling my speakers. I am not selling my own pair. I am a "Listening Post" for Zu and I believe I am the only one in the United Stat... 
Pick your poison...2-channel or multi?
Cdwallace,My post was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but no one can ever tell on the 'net, so nevermind. Sorry you took it any other way.The 7.1 surround format is mainly one of derived or matrixed 5.1 stuff, with side speakers helping to steer well-de... 
Pick your poison...2-channel or multi?
CDwallace,No one has responded cuz there's no question! It's a diatribe by you about 5.1 and 360 degree sound. A question ends with a question mark.....like this....What is your question? If it's "Are you aware that the very essense of MC is duriv... 
Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamplifier
Dan Wright tells me that inverting phase is a natural consequence of a more purist (straight wire with gain) type of implementation with tubes stages. Dunno....lots of tube preamps do I guess. I believe Dan feels that an invert phase switch adds u... 
Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamplifier
Unsound is unwrong. Yep, that's all you do...reverse blacks and reds at the amp (or speakers, not both). Remember, inverting phase doesn't mean out of phase (where one speaker is wired wrong and mono signals lose specific image). Theory also says ... 
Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamplifier
I own the SWL 9.0SE (one of the first production units). I'm a big Dan Wright fan, also owning his Modwright 3910 Signature universal player, and previously the modded out 999ES Platinum Signature. His work is genius and relatively inexpensive. In...
