| Mono Recordings One album is Hendrix’s Axis: Bold As Love. The panning of the instruments is all over the place. Guitars and vocal are panned over reasons that don’t don’t make a lot of sense. You got that one wrong. Jimi personally spent many hours at the mixing... | |
| Magnepans or...Martin Logan Check out the Martin Logan owners forum: www.martinloganowners.comOne member: roberto is in Costa Rica. He could probably help you with advice on owning MLs outside North America. | |
| Are these damned brands or not good speakers? Large companies have no soul and don't care what their gear sounds like. All of them? Why did you get out of the business? | |
| Thinking of upgrading to ML ESL 11 or 13a. Thoughts? My experience is that a larger panel sounds better, not just louder (more detail, more musical, etc). It doesn’t seem to make sense, but that’s how it works. The Montis is not that much more visually imposing than the Ethos. | |

| what is it in audio that you dislike most? +1 on the loudness wars. | |
| SACD or not SACD? Of course the recording and mastering matter, so cds can sound better than sacds, but IMHO, sacd is a superior format. If you plan to buy a lot of sacds get an sacd player, if only an occasional sacd, put the money into a better cd player or dac. | |

| Help wanted re tube There is a sleeve of 5 6829 GE NOS tubes on ebay for $18. | |
| What does a 'refined sounding' speaker mean ? Merriam - Webster defines it as precise, exact. So in a speaker I would say it means lower than normal distortion while remaining musical, not analytical. | |
| Help wanted re tube The 6829 is a variant of the 12AT7. It shouldn't be hard to find one. | |
