Krell VS McIntosh
Krell can be forward and thinned out on top.. mcintosh a bit more Solid state with tube sound.. Krell depending on the speakers will have authority to really have tight punchy bass, but mcintosh has a low damping factor that works well with easier... 
My First USB DAC Sounds Dull, Please Help
Before jumping to conclusions on the DAC or cables etcÂ… I highly suggest backing up a few steps, first off get a hold of (unless you have already in the house) a basic DVD player or CD player with a digital out, coax or toslink, If the DAC has one...

I do understand that, I realize it was a "maintenance" type approach, however you spent more on a couple small pieces than the speakers were worth so might as well get some full benefits out of the time and experience of it.

Volleyguy...Again as a warning, my suggestion you have to really remember here you can only expect in some way to end up being as good as the speaker is... I would suggest since going this far you need to probably build outboard crossovers, re-wir...

They did it seems just in the past couple months come up with a higher voltage VSF design, this is rather current however, and I think it changes in Tiers of capacitance however I could be wrong, and I was explained for example a 1 uF cap is only ...

Stormen not sure you mentioned your application or sizes of cast caps your using? Can you enlighten what you did with the cast vs. the vsf?Not sure, however they are for higher voltage.. Any cap is rated lower than it is from what I am told, for e...

Well again the Cast can take the heat so to speak.. The VSF would not be trusted in some high voltage applications.. The casing alone on the VSF seems to be a pretty much basic just get the job done, and its simple which is why I feel its very goo...

I am sure the Cast are good and so are the VSF, I think they might sound a little different but probably not better or really preferable in certain given applications. But hey good luck, its a great cap I am sure, at this point no need to be conce...

Oh and partsconnexion did ship my parts today finally, they will be in tomorrow for installation.. My crossover is simple and uses only a 1.75 uF cap on the first leg of my horn.. Should be a sweet result I think :-)If I was running a 1000 watt mo...

Point being I believe that the 2% more you may or may not hear with Cheaper drivers in a far simpler 1st or second order crossover its just not complex enough to spend 100% more or something for a very slight window of difference.. I am sure the V...

I think to gain the benefits of the cast would need to be really critical applications... Main thing is that duelunds caps are so huge you would never build an entire crossover inside the speaker anyway in most cases and end up with them in a sepa... 
how much would you say a good set up cost
For those that need a hand, check this out... Seems to have a lot of the info disputed, and might get you where you need to go with your systems.http://www.getbettersound.com/toc.html

Halcro What values are those? 
how much would you say a good set up cost
TvadExactly correct :-)_ And trust me I don't say that to be pompus, and Hell I don't know much, but learned a lot if that makes sense. But I can say for somebody to pay someone that does have a clue on some of this stuff and do it right would cos...

Several un-explainable and un-purchaseable equipment :-) Well of course it all started as somebodys gear, and ended up with just their original name tag on it in the end, Mainly just all highly customized pieces and specific pieces ordered and alt...
