Amphion Creon Replacment Bass Drivers
Did you try to contact Amphion? 
Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution
As was mentioned, high quality compression driver systems. More dynamics at low levels, very low distortion. As a very quiet listener (who once in a while does go to moderate levels) I know where you are at. This is the answer. 
Single driver speakers without the pitfalls?
They do buzz. That's how they "attempt" to get high frequencies. Resonance, not signal.AM radio is a great comparison. Most of those threads are right on. I thought the Voxactiv might have something after I read about them. How did they overcome t... 
Single driver speakers without the pitfalls?
Well, saying what audiophiles prefer is not necessarily a great point of credibility, based on what sells in the audiophile market! How about what music lovers prefer? 
Single driver speakers without the pitfalls?
The original poster's question is akin to asking for a unicycle without the pitfalls of a unicycle; like asking for a unicycle for the balance of a bicycle; a bicycle with the stability of a 4 wheeler. The physics just does not allow a driver to s... 
Please help with the cable burner
To answer the poster, the time it takes for burning is the time that you believe. If you expect great results in a minute you will hear them. If you expect them in an hour you will hear them. If you feel it will take ten days it will take 10 days.... 
Does JBL get a bad rap?
Yes, it is satisfying seeing JBL get some respect. So much of what is perceived as good in the Western audio market is what is talked about in the magazines. And the mags measure respect just like high priced athletes: in terms of the $$ given to ... 
Does JBL get a bad rap?
Macrojack, guys on forums love to proclaim winners and losers, so no response means there likely are not any people really familiar with the speakers to do a comparison.Those are very low production, specialist companies you are talking about that... 
Does JBL get a bad rap?
I meant to say "I can't be unfair to those hard-working guys who have achieved something nice by shotgunning an answer that's NOT (I forgot the word "not" in my response) fully researched......" 
Cleaning Phono Stylus- white residue
Man, do I have a tone of it right now, the result of months. I only clean it when the cart is out of the arm, sitting upside down, under bright light, with a tiny brush and toothpick with alcohol on it, very carefully!I do not use usually use liqu... 
Does JBL get a bad rap?
Well, Ptss, I don't answer based on the assumption that here is only one answer, and only one brand. That's the all too common way for audiophile forum members, and forum members of all enthusiast products, it seems. "There is one right answer, an... 
Does JBL get a bad rap?
A poster asked "How do JBL top line horn systems like Everest compare to other efforts such as Classic Audio Reproductions, Oswald's Mill, Volti, or Cogent".Certainly Classic and Volti have great attributes, I don't know the others, best to try to... 
Cleaning Phono Stylus- white residue
If the white detritus seems to be a build up of very small white dust and flakes it is worn vinyl - yes, from the record. If you magnify it, then watch a tiny drop of acetone when dripped on it, you'll see it melt together. The vinyl comes up in l... 
Does JBL get a bad rap?
The 67000 is a lot better than K2. But that does not mean K2 is not good. It's not "all or nothing at all". 
2 subwoofers?
Even Fathoms or Gothams that have plenty of power for a certain room will greatly benefit from a second, with better bass loading, but, also, and more important to me, is much better imaging without shift. It's just wrong what is said about not be...
