The Gift And The Curse
The gift and the curse. That's exactly what the high end has been for me over the years. A gift because music is my passion in life and high end audio has provided a means to fuel that passion. This passion has also made it possible to make new friends along the way who are nuts like me.

The curse, well, that's the darker side of audio that I'm sure many of you have also experienced. The endless buying, selling, failed equipment and so on....

However, I'm truly grateful for all that audio has given me. I can't imagine my life without it.

Devilboy,
Will your modified Dynaco triode amp drive this new speaker or will they require a different amp? I like the look and concept/design of thst Dynaco amplifier, it must sound 'natural'(which is mandatory for me,no hifi crap).
