| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system I first had the LFT8 and the woofer would distort with heavier bass passages so I was going to upgrade ($200) with Bruce's LFT8b woofers but I ended up getting a pair of 8b's (2011 vintage) off Audiogon for $1200. My favorite speakers by far becau... | |
| Best speakers for Canary Audio CA-301CA Hi Dan,I have been thinking about the Hyperion 938 speakers. Saw a pair come up on I belive Audiogon recently. Did some research about the spiderless driver design. How did you like them from what you heard? I am not sure they are still in busines... | |
| Quicksilver V4 amps with KT150 jb45,Old thread but; did you try the kt150 in the V4's and how did it sound?I have a 2009 pair and run the kt120 even though they were not designed for that tube. Sounds great. I understand that the only extra benefit that you will not get with th... | |

| Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant I see a lot of DQM9 Compact out there, not the DQM9. Is there a big difference? And when Zydo says DQM9 do you mean the Compact or the regular DQM9? | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8b If you read Doug Schroeder's review in Dagogo you would find out his preference for the LFT's over the 1.6. I have tried a few other speakers of similar design; Magnepan MG IIIa and MG 1.6 but I preferred overall the LFT8b. Originally I had the ea... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant Wow, this thread has been going for a long time! I have the review on the DQ20 done by G. Gordon Holt from Stereo Review, 1988. I found it back around 1999 in my college library "periodicals index", remember those, before Google? Anyway, he compar... | |
| Grace F-9 broken stylus I have the same situation. Bought a table with the F-9, green stylus. The stylus was crooked so I went over to Peter at Soundsmith (local) and he straightened it out for me but said the needle was a little worn on one side due to anti-skate. He of... | |

| Review: Polk Audio SDA-2 Speaker Try Legacy Audio Classic, Signature III, or Focus and I think you'll find that there are indeed still speakers that can provide the bass and dynamics of the old school speakers except with more refinement and better drivers (and higher price?). | |
| Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant Opalchip,I did the replacement too with the Scanspeak D2008.I think I paid around $150 for a pair from Madisound and kept the original. Funny thing is the one that blew was already a replacement from Regnar who say that the D2008 was originally mo... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant Hi Opalchip,I agree with you on the DQ20's. I remember the 10's when in high school and then a few years ago saw the 20's at a tag sale and imediately recognized them as Dahlquist. Belive it or not I picked them up for $75. I too want to upgrade b... |
