Low Watt Solid State Amp
First Watt is certainly what you'll hear... you might want to take a look at DIY Audio, they have First watt kits that you can build, some are very good..If you like Pass,  Here is a Chinese clone from a guy in the US that tried it, he is taking o... 
Anyone heard of Sound Code System
I just ran across one of these amps and was looking for a bit more info than what I already knew and came across this old thread,  So I though I'd update this for whomever may be looking for the info later.Sound Code System is the Preceding compan... 
Stand Alone Super Tweeter for Revel F208?
I have read through this thread,  overall, I agree with Erik.  I would do a tow in with these speakers and get a better handle of what you are after... A bit more tilt up of the treble region? Better air  & detail around the instruments?More e... 
Replacement Driver Help
If you don't get it figured out and have a good working driver, I would be willing to spec the driver and help find a replacement for you.   
Dynaco A25 -Hard to Believe
I modeled the 2 way build that I posted above... without a crossover on the woofer and a simple crossover on the tweeter, you're able to achieve 30hz to about 18K @  plus or minus 2db..... pretty amazing for such a simple design.  Add Zobel and im... 
Speaker recomendation
There are a ton of speakers out there that charge a whole bunch of money for a box of nothin.... or very little. Legacy Signature, Focus or Aeris are all 3 excellent and would take care of that area quite well. Peter chimed in from PBN... I have s... 
Dynaco A25 -Hard to Believe
@spotcheckbilly12345         I'm sure that not many would be interested in this build that I offered, but I guess that you didn't notice the ratings that I posted they would be. If you wanted to ensure excellent blending, you could easily do a 6/1... 
Dynaco A25 -Hard to Believe
I looked the new model woofer over thoroughly. If anyone wanted to make a new version, I’d use the Seas A26RE4 ($150.00) woofer and personally, I’d use a Morel A308 tweeter ($102 Mad - $78.00 PE). The woofer could be used full range, I would recom... 
Speakers in Anime ... Can you tell the brand / Model? :)

Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace
@stereo5 even though I agree with you that the Rogue RP-1 is a great preamp and I think that it is a good recommendation, but If you had ANY other Adcom preamp other than the GFP750 what you heard is not any comparison.  All other Adcom models are... 
ELAC B6 tweak
The 940C is a very nice sounding cap and available in larger sizes if you just wanted to replace the cap rather than bypass.  Also, you've used Jantzen… a couple of their caps are also excellent.  
Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace
I fall somewhere in between loomisjohnson and kalali… The Adcom is a fine sounding pre and I certainly don’t believe that a current Parasound or PS will be a significant upgrade, but I do believe that with trying other things you might find a diff... 
Yanni or Laurel?
For the life of me,  I don't understand How Yanni could come from this.... I hear Laurel,   Not even a hint of sounding like Yanni.  Laurel...…………… Laurel...…………….Laurel...………… Never changes 
Infinity cs 3009
@okeeteekid I have no argument that the Kappa's are nice speakers and can be incredible with the right amplification, but have to assume from your response that you don't like the sound of those paper mids that you haven't heard them. The paper on... 
Infinity cs 3009
@okeeteekid I’m sorry to disagree with you, I am very familiar with Kappa crossovers impedance curves and sound. I have sold them new and worked on them since. Peter @ PBN did the speakers that Erik posted, I’d take them any day over Kappa’s, they...
