Brands w/ first order x-over, time & phase aligned
i owned the kestral 2's and they were superb. recently tho i have gone to full range drivers and tiny tube amps. the sound is what the kestrals were trying to achieve as no crossover and single sound source solves those problems 
Speaker Cable for Meadowlark Kestrel 2
i used a 60 wpc jolida tube amp, upgraded, and i never found them lacking using homemade monster cable. the builder recommended tubes as i recall. i thought they were a bit analytical with ss gear. just my opinion tho

full range driver selection for DIY home system
btw, you will get at least 95 db sensitivity with any of their designs. people do not realize a 12 inch cone with whizzer goes beyond 15khz. complex speakers is a gimmick to sell more drivers and crossovers. when you hear a good pair of single dri... 
full range driver selection for DIY home system

Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE

What happened with the SACD format?
i buy them regularly and imo they are fantasic. the real issue is how well the music was recorded and i think many miss this point. a normal cd when well recorded is better than a badly done sacd. i have no trouble finding all sorts of offerings. ... 
Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store
as a former real estate agent i can offer my opinion on 'lookers'...it is part of the job to take risks with potential customers and if you are only willing to work with people that need a house in 5 minutes you are either a billionaire or not cut...

you do have a power strip of some sort with a fuse of some sort to avoid this? even an inexpensive one will do the trick.

Hifisoundguy, i agree. for a bunch of music lovers they act like mean politicians trying to have a pissing match

this thread is something out of a vintage woody allen movie at a thanksgiving family dinner. i am afraid to even turn on my amp after all this dissection. why do we even bother, lets just hum middle c and call it even
