Xover parts quality,/sound difference?
Vman71, Klipsch are what I did many of my trials on as well.. They did respond incredibly no doubt. Maybe some of these guys just simply have less results due to lower sensitivity speakers.. I mean many speakers are very overdamped sounding, for e... 
Low watt tube amps/pros/cons
unfortunatley its a forum of grown men putting way too much time into electronic dreams... Oh well gotta find a new hobby.! 
Very short speaker cable length recommended?
Again which I stated above, the most important thing is to try it, and certain equipment will react certain ways to the load, impeadance, capacitance, inductance etc.. of a length of cable as the same cable different length will change these prope... 
Zu Druid IV - the real deal?
Skuras, Good deal... The tubes will be liquid and more laid back, I heard atmospheres on the Druid and the tubes were very sweet, you could always get a small solid state if you want hard dynamics and really rock, there is a difference if you want... 
Xover parts quality,/sound difference?
Sbrtoy, I agree, low pass can definatley work well and even better with standard 1 dollar to 15 dollar caps eg. Solen, Auricap etc...My statements were made to be VERY general, as to simply say yes better parts can produce far better results, and ... 
Wher did the DB99 go ?
08-24-06: MystangThanks for the insights. I have been considering the DB99 or ZU Defination I've been leaning towards the Defination because of their return policy but was also hopeful I could get a listen to the DB99 at the up coming RMAF. But no... 
Xover parts quality,/sound difference?
Huh? Baffled is right....No its not agreed in a friendly sense.. 90% of Standard Speaker DESIGN is crossover is all the point was. And exactly why speakers with NO crossover to worry about are even another step forward. That was not the question a... 
Zu Druid IV - the real deal?
Skuras, What is the verdict on the new amps and speakers? 
Xover parts quality,/sound difference?
Sorry typo's aboveTons.... I have heard 800 dollar speakers that easily competed with 5000 plus (so called better designs) after being replaced with Alpha core Ribbon inductors, Mills Resistors, and Mundorf caps, Solen caps(cheap but very effectiv...

SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this?
Tvad, I thought you used Odyssey mono's? Those are bipolar, what is your impression of those vs. the mosfet or any of these others? Just curious for my own knowledge, thanks. 
Bi-Amping, best way??
dave@z-cars.fsnet.co.uk"Ok, i've tried Vertical bi-amping with 1 amp for each speaker, and the sound was much fuller, and the mid-range was a lot stronger, i think my wife described it as been more 'in your face' (she's a violinist), so though i'd... 
Reference 3A Decapo "i" sounds shrilly
Acoustics in the Room.... Bottom line I have had shrilly sound and very thin sound, make sure you have a full wall behind the listening position and the Speakers, Sidwalls are not that important, actually the further away the better getting rid of... 
Bi-Amping, best way??
Cool let us know the difference between the vert and horiz.. Thanks 
SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this?
I always liked Bi-polar designs over mosfet.. Don't know why but they are more organic sounding, mosfets have a more envelope sound to them and sometimes sharp, basically Mosfets were all the rage I remember with big name audio companies in the 90...
