You will want to have the crossovers rebuilt and maybe add Tractrix midrange horns and a different tweeter (the Crites tweeter and lower 4500 hz crossover is supposed to be great). Horns will... | |
| What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008 Jack Johnson, all four of his albums after hearing him on Pandora radio. One of the albums is noisey though, kind of disappointing. Cat Power You Are Free is also very good, but this is the other new album that I bought that was noisey. | |

| B&W Matrix tweeter repair Or if you are handy you can replace the tweeter diaphragm for about $40. Don't forget that option, I did one earlier this year. | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 I have to jump on the bandwagon here. I had N801's and now have Signature 800's and there is nothing to "fix."B&W bashing makes some feel superior. One of my favorite quotes that I read in a few threads when doing some research on the S800's w... | |

| Turntable selection advise I just read your response about funds. A good friend just bought a Technics SL 1300 in mint condition for $150 on ebay and he is very happy. He added a Denon Dl160 cart and Sumiko headshell (same as what I am using). FWIW, we both have systems in ... | |

| Klipschorn speaker set-up "Klipschorns speakers are meant for the corners and building a false wall is no solution."Paul Klipsch used false corners in his living room. I built a pair and they worked quite well. | |
| Most Important? You need to balance everything. If the plan is to upgrade, then have an end plan for where you want to be. My initial reaction was "get the best speakers that you can" but i think that I may have changed my mind. I don't think that anyone has ment... | |
