Narrod, sure, But thought I'd pass on a 'best kept secret". No harm done , right? Or should I demo competition so I can find out I;'m wrong, that the cayin is less than my opinion??? Not sure why my experience counts for so little around here. How...

Eagleman, feel free to ask w/o feeling you will get criticized. I get snides and insults due to lack of tech knowledge, snotty attitude, "mister-know-it-all", negativity, closed minded-ness. So as long as you don't follow me, you'll do all right h...

Paul , ss amps may be the "ideal" for demanding speakers, but since I do not care for ss amps, I look for certain tube amps that can carry a relatively heavy load. I agree stats/panels/ribbons need ss current for optimum response. Vandersteens nee...

Raul you hit on a essential issue in tube amp output. The impedance factor of the speakers, how difficult is it to keep the motor of the speakers moving in a musical line as the fq's change or amount of fq's are thrown at the amp. Which big orch d...

raul. i googled amplifier output impedance and got several hits. The info if over my understanding, but will try to work with the ideas. I grasp that quality of transformers is vital in tube design, especially when driving a devil of a speaker suc... 
Harbeth vs. Tyler
Interesting that the comments made on Ty's open forum line up closely with reviews here and on Audioreview.com.Ooka ha sto do his own DD and make his decision. Thats how I found my speakers, through hours of research. And I had a good idea of what...

Well mark don't believe Sally. Like you I don;t believe mags reviews either. On this one she was correct. In spite of her throwing in a compliment on the Spendor. Which I subsequently heard and totatlly disagree with her on.As I say I am not a fan...

Newbee good point. You'll never see Seas and Dr Appolito renaming the thor 'thor mk2'. Its a final design. Madisound offers you an upgrade version of the xover, which i galdly pd $150 more. The design has been out now 5 or 6 yrs and its the same s...

Sonfun you really like to back up your country's products. Lets keep things civil OK. No need to go into trashy uncool remarks. I gave my opinion, you went beyond the bounds. If the Harbeth is such a great speaker , nothing i say could/would take ...

Mark S's "dis-information" comment that the Tyler's "Lack natural tonal qualities and musicalities". Mark your opinion goes totally against everything Sally Renolyds wrote in Oct issue of Absolute Sound. Also go to audioreview.com. Every review gi... 
Harbeth vs. Tyler
Ahh here's the big difference for me. harbeth is british. i do not like the british sound. Though Ooka may like it. Its personal preference. And i was not refering only to the cabinet. The poly drivers look cheap.
