Thanks Acresverde. I like to think the Eurythmies' sound matches their looks. Not the ultimate in purity and flat curve response I expect but they make beautiful music. Still working on taming a fe...

Thanks much Dewald. I'm going to have to change the system description. It says just after the garage sale joke that I actually bought them in a bricks-and-mortar store for "many orders of ...

Boa2, With the exception of the VTLs, everything was added into the system as it is to make it a system rather than a collection of components. The VTLs were there before. When I put the EAR 859 in...
