Paul Speltz Zero-Box Autoformer With Tenor OTL
I had the first pair of Tenor OTL 70’s in the US, purchased directly from the NY audio show. They were with the volume controls, but as amazing sounding they were, suffered from reliability problems, and were fussy about speaker loads. Finally a l... 
The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear
Right now I’m listening to rebuilt stacked Quad 57’s with added Enigma Sopranino super tweeters, the latter not being vintage, powered by just serviced Futterman H3-AA amps. The panels are wired in series, the tweeters straight off the amps in par...

Has anyone done any business with Quads Unlimited lately???
I’d also suggest you don’t date American women if you think that gives you the right to stereotype American attitudes!!!

How dare you?? I’m so glad you tried to help Wayne with his old Honda. I could have bought him 10 Hondas with the money he stole from me! Let your socialist medicine take care of addicts like Wayne, and watch your money go down the drain trying to... 
Which LS3/5a?
I have an extensive collection of LS3/5a monitors. IMHO the very limited Falcon KINGSWOOD WARREN EDITION is the best, and not by a small margin! For vintage examples, I still favor the CHARTWELL only if in great condition. I also like the warmer b...

If anyone knows of Wayne’s possible location or any other info, please pass it on so that I can forward to my attorney. Thanks

I’m glad that you can remember him well? I, on the other hand, cannot! After being conned out of over 30k, this man is a criminal! There is a lot more to the story of my many attempts to help him financially. I suspect he also had substance issues... 
Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ?
Please see my post on the forum, HAS ANYONE DONE BUSINESS WITH WAYNE PICQUET LATELY?  
Has anyone done any business with Quads Unlimited lately???
After many years of sending Wayne more and more money to try to build a custom triple, I am out over 30k! Many years ago, he did such nice work. I unfortunately commissioned him based on his past, and just kept pouring money in to a black hole. I ... 
Speaker upgrade around 100k retail
I drive the Stellas with mainly AR610t updated to KT120, nice combo, also sometimes Tenor OTL, and Lamm ML2. 
Speaker upgrade around 100k retail
I have to agree. I love my Stella Utopias!  Before that I had the Nola Grand References, four towers, and couldn’t live with them, no mid bass impact and disappointing bass for a separate  tower of woofers! Plus having to biamp. Not a wise purchas... 
MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region"
As a professional musician and conductor, I am exposed to the sound of top notch New York musicians playing their instruments on an everyday basis. I listen to MQA on the top of the line Meridian DSP- 8000/ 818V3 DAC. I also use the same source in...
