Well at least I opened up a discussion about some of the world's FINEST drivers, the Seas' EXCEL line. These drivers have 50 years of solid research behind them. I feel they made the best. I would not change out my Seas Millinium T25 tweeter for a...

Like I say I would love to have the W26 in my system, But as in all things stereo, there is a trade off. If i get the Ref III's , a 3 way, Scanspeak(which i would ask tyler to upgrade to the Millinium) + w18 + W26, I get the extra low end, but sac...

Yes we gotta sort out all Tyler's models. Not sure why they came out with so many. They should never have incorporated the Scanspeak tweet. Keep is sipmle and sweet. Just use all seas Excel drivers...Now onto their models. The 7U's($3200) are MTM,... 
What is the benefit of low efficiency speakers?
BTW, my friend is selling his Silverline and Cayin 300B. I'd never sell my combo. 
What is the benefit of low efficiency speakers?
Yes I agree, I can also think of none. That is unless you like Set low watt tube amps. My friend has a 300B Set amp with $6K high sensitive speakers, the Sonatas I believe, rated at 93 db, they are great on some things, jazz, vocals, but they do "... 
best speaker?
Take a look at Tyler speakers with the Danish SEAS drivers.

Linbrook , dual 8 inch seas + dual 7 inch seas + Millinium tweet. Very nice, but more that my 15 X 20 room can handle, besides out my budget. . The Signature is prefered vs their 7U's, the 7U is a MTM with the Scan speak tweet, the Signature has t... 
Preamp for Jadis Orchestra Ref
after hooking up the old Marantz 4300, a 100 watt ss amp, I realized the Jadis intergrated simply cannot be beat. Jadis offers in my opinion the finest quality amp for musical qualities, neutrality = least coloring (almost nil, in fact nil!), qual... 
Preamp for Jadis Orchestra Ref
No I did not try to disconnect the pre. Whats the point. If you want more, then get the DA30 or even the DA60. My plans are to get a used DA60 for around $3K. I could go Cayin 6550 monon + Ding Ma pre, but I think it will be less than what the DA6... 
Preamp for Jadis Orchestra Ref
I have the Orch Reference also, and thought the same as you, to possibly disconnect the pre stage and add a better preamp, line in. But as the above poster correctly advises, no.The Jadis dealer in Colorado , Frank, sent me a pr of Cabasse MTM's, ...

Marantz 2325's interaction with 4 speakers/load?
Thats great news. As i say, back in 1975, all I could afford was the Marantz 2015, since I was only making $250 an hour clearing window air conditioners down here in New orleans during the summer. I totally forgot the Marantz amps, as I was search... 
Marantz 2325's interaction with 4 speakers/load?
Rich, that the 22XX series could handle 2 sets 4 ohms speakers may be true in its first years of life, but as Jea48 mentions, the "old faithful" is going on 30+, so I don't want to press my luck. I'll use the 2325 for the Thors only, buy a second ... 
Marantz 2325's interaction with 4 speakers/load?
How could I forget/overlook the fact that the Thors are a 4 ohm speaker, requiring plenty of high quality juice to make them come alive with dynamics. So the 2325 is 125 into 8 ohms. Will the 30 yr amp be ok driving these 4 ohms at low volume, whi...
