Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
Um... may I please ask a substantive question? ;-)Wavetouch has a YouTube channel on which I found this show report. In the close up of one of the speakers, it seems that the woofer phase plug isn't fixed place, but it somehow suspended and movab... 
Beryllium Tweeters
The Reference 3A line now uses BE tweeters across the range. I have the De Capo BE's, but the Dulcet BE's would fall into your price range and they're marvelous. 
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...
Dbarger,Thanks for the post. I sometimes wonder what the Kit 1 would cost if it was only sold as a finished product. Anyway, glad you've had so many positive experiences with AN Kits. What kind of speakers did you run the Kit 1's with?

JA and Stereophile will deny what I'm about to say, but I will say it anyway: if a reviewer were having this kind of trouble with one of their major advertisers' products, you'd better believe they'd have been on the phone - if not on the next fli... 
Ref 3A Dulcets vs Vapor sound
Nyaudio98,I got your personal message asking for my opinions about the De Capo versus the LSA 1 Statement. I thought I would answer in this forum so as to be helpful to anybody else who is interested in this topic.As I mentioned, I owned the State...

This thread on S'phile's (the clue) review, which I started on AudioAsylum.com, is absolutely fascinating, especially since John Atkinson participates. He gives no ground to the idea that the review was a botched job and yet - IMHO - if you read b...

Oddly, Stereophile kind of trashed (the clue) in their latest issue. 
Ref 3A Dulcets vs Vapor sound
Nyaudio,I had the LSA1 Statements for awhile, too (twice!) What do you think? 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Charles,Yes. "Caucasian Blackplate"is another Bottlehead employee who often posts on SET Asylum. But I agree that there's a lot of personalized vitriol on that board that can make it difficult to wade through.Interesting thing about the Bottlehead... 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Mikirob!I think she'd love building that Kit. It's kinesthetically very pleasing to watch the thing come together. I especially enjoyed populating the PCB's with the resistors... it's somehow very satisfying. I'll repeat what I said earlier. It's ... 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Grannyring:As to your question about a 100% hard-wired SET kit, the Bottlehead Paramount 300B mono blocks come pretty close. There are, I believe, two very small PCB's in each block, but for the most part it's hard wired all the way.Although the K... 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Folks,Somebody further up the thread just asked about where the 10.1 ohm output impedance figure came from. I don't have the issue sitting here in front of me, but I'm pretty certain Dick Olsher took the measurement himself as opposed to getting i...
