Silvanik's System_2nd upgradeThat is a very well crafted system. It is the second system I see that is based with just one digital front end but with a DNA-2 at the heart of the system. The other person had a pair of Wilson ... posted over 5 years ago | View comment | |
My Simple SetupI am so glad to see someone who appreciated the Energy Connoiseur Reference 22s. It must be mid 80s to late 80s vintage. I still remember hearing that loudspeaker being driven with Sumo Andromeda I... posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |
Fieldcoil Fullrange SystemI like the description or the basis of your system. All Lowther, all the way to fieldcoil. I believe that this is the work of a German outfit that recones, remagnetizes Lowthers as they hawk their ... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |

DIY T-amp and Full range driversI believe that you need at least 200hours or more of play time to determine whether the midrange hump is part of the driver's idiocyncracy or something else. If it is the earlier, perhaps some driv... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
