Outboard crossover? Why not?
Overall, I find Erik's comments to be right on.  I did not see an easy answer to Inna's question of the difference between an active vs electronic vs passive. could be helpful to others... So,  when a signal from your source comes from your amplif... 
Are there used/mint balanced pre-amp with a few unblanced inputs under $2000??
@erik_squires  Well that makes sense,  the ESL amps were out in 1998 and all but maybe one of the amps that Coda did for Roger have been nice....I own a CL,  it has been in its box for over a year now,  but I plan on cracking it out again... My sy...

@erik_squires   Oh my, flat & lifeless. I would have to think that you were dealing with an impedance problem with the amp being used.  I've heard the CL, the CP and the 07X as well as a couple of preamps that Coda has made for Sanders and Inn...

Sunnyjim,      I didn't say before, but the Coda that I recommended is as good as the Audio Research or Bel Canto... Another that I thought of is the Muse Model 3 Signature.   
Replace C28 with... ?
Sorry, I guess I can’t.. For some people this could be a welcome contribution. You Mentioned the ragged top end. A Preamp could contribute to this, but the tweeter could also be part of it. So I was only trying to be helpful.  I won't respond abou... 
Replace C28 with... ?
The piezo can be modified or better yet,  replaced and the replacement modified.  Let me know if that is an interest.  
Replace C28 with... ?
It may or may not effect this thread, but the DQ10 does not have a ribbon.  To add one, someone would have to modify your crossover. I would assume that with  the comment about getting aggressive on top indicates that the piezo is there and not a ...

Wrong forum for this comment miko..... way out of line 
What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear
To directly answer the op..... Disagree 
help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP
In 2010 I switched to computer audio,  if found myself never firing up my CD players.  I sold them off a couple of years ago, but they were both very good for the money... Don't remember either model number, but One was an NAD... I know that it wa... 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
Hi phusis, Thanks for the extra input, I also clearly understood the terms of what was discussed. I guess that I'm just an overly sensitive guy.  Still under my mama's old school teaching of how to talk to others.  So here you go,  more old school... 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
You are correct,  this shows a lot of experience in being rude.... That's the point... telling people that they don't count.... opinions without supporting experience is just noise. Read through the post,  enough was said... No one has said at all... 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
Johnk,  you have a wealth of knowledge and experience,  but your last post just told EVERYONE else that they don't matter. That your opinion/Experience is the only one that is right or counts. 2nd time in this thread that you've done that... I und... 
Tekton Pendragons or Lore Loudspeakers
I have not heard the Pendragons.  I have sat in front of the regular Lore... Once with a Mystere Integrated and once with a First watt driven by a Wadia Dac pre.... My buddy eventually sold them off, he replaced them with a small pair of Sonus Fab... 
Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room?
Hi Marty, I don't mind going to take a look at whatever that you would like me to read. For this discussion, it isn't necessary.  You quoted that Most 8 inch woofers distort Horribly at 85 db output... Well, with most 8 inch woofers that is less t...
