Is this an excellent value?
I have owned Yaqin, it was enjoyable piece of gear and a great value. They sell several tubed and I believe 1 hybrid integrated amps as well as a tube buffer and a phono section.  I only personally know 1 other person that owned Yaqin and I know f... 
2way speakers
I'd recommend looking at an MTM design with 6 inch or larger woofers.  A couple of 6 1/2 inch MTM's will move the air of a 10 inch woofer and still give you the midrange performance of a 2 way. An excellent MTM is a very nice speaker.  Sorry,  no ... 
High order crossovers
I haven't dove in here, I've felt that Duke has been doing a terrific job in his explanations, but this might contribute a bit, it takes a bit off subject, but in the big picture is appropriate. The single thing that I have found that does drain d...

BEL amp repairs
@brooksberdanltd   This person was looking for a servicer 17 years ago.  I guess they could still have it for repair.   
DIY ?uestion
Transmission lines can be very satisfying... As koss_amojan explained in the past there has been a great deal of guess work... Maybe 20 years or so ago the math was fairly well proven based on figuring line length based on the cone size and what i... 
Crossover circuit; Hales Reference Revelation 3 speakers
No Problem Scott, I get private messages fairly often from Agon members. Send me an email and we’ll get you through this easy enough. 
Crossover circuit; Hales Reference Revelation 3 speakers
Scott,  a couple of things,  first, since you have this apart,  pull the mid and try to play the mid without the crossover connected.  Lets make sure that the midrange are not damaged.  Next,  its about a 95% chance that the cap that burst is an e...

Do you trust Audiogon?
I've never had a problem purchasing here, I have bought a couple and sold a few,  but I've had offers with strange accompanying emails,  when I forwarded those to Tammy, she replied very quickly with a history of this person on audiogon with solid... 
Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music
If these Mono Blocks were mentioned, I haven't seen them.  My choice in Solid State would be: SST Ampzilla 2000 Second Edition.  https//www.sst.audio/new-products/ampzilla-2000-second-edition-single there are a couple of reviews at the bottom of t... 
The Truth about Modern Class D
@erik_squires Thanks Erik,  I wouldn't mind it.... Over time here on Agon,  I've contributed a ton on the speaker side. That's where all my experience is.  I've always known that amps & pre's have been my weakness.  I've been studying circuit ... 
The Truth about Modern Class D
I have built some mono amps from Abletec modules.  They were actually quite good.  I don't know if they were "World Class" or not, but you know what, they played music and they sounded like music.  I did sell them, but not because I didn't like th... 
Not enough power what does it sound like?
I think the real question is what if you don't have an amplifier capable of producing enough current.  Running out of power, you'll find that your amplifier is going into clipping and producing higher distortion levels when it gets at its limits, ...
