Review: Usher BE-10 Speaker
I have the BE-20's and recently installed replacement xovers made by Danny Richey of GR Research. I have about 400 hrs on the new xovers I would guess. The replacement's use top quality parts and use point to point wiring. Internal wire was replac...

Fusion Audio Enchanter on my Jaco - made with silver ribbons. I much prefer the Enchanter to the Mongoose.

I'm thinking the Wyred 4 sound 1000's should work nicely too.

ARC VT-200 Cooling Fan Noisy, nit picking?
Dev & JC - I got the fans from specialtech.co.uk/spshop/customer/product.php?productid=5876&cat=0&page=1- they were about $50 shipped to the USA - I just cut the existing fan wires and soldered the new fan in - they fit perfectly with ...

I got the BTF80Pro fans for my 210's. They are about dead quiet ;) 
Audio Research Ref. 210 questions
Dev, it seems the 210's really need time for the listener to become accustomed to them. I find them very musical and not rolled at either end - just very enjoyable with 3d wraparound quality. The soundstage is quite a bit wider than the Lamms in m...
