[quote user="haralanov"] So the tweeter is always needed. The bad thing is it deforms (in 99,9999999999999999999% of the cases) the perfectly round audio window, formed by the midrange channel and "pull" some notes sometimes at its axis. These are of...

Fully armed with my new knowledge I made today an interesting experiment. I listen Remedios as is this amplifiers running for 35 minutes and then re-listen them again in 2 hours. It was very very convincing, very self-evident but slightly not what I ...

Just a few days ago there was an anniversary of Sergey Rachmaninoff’s 1st performance of his Prelude in C-sharp-Minor (Op.3, No.2). There was plenty said about this fantastic music that long time ago had become one of the greatest treasury of p...

Timothy,
My “understanding” whatever you feel I understood “after seeing the CES voodoo” neither changed nor evolved in any directions. My level of tolerance changed but it was it.

[quote user="Paul S"] I have been surprised that you have not already pursued the Zarathustra for your multi-driver, sealed LF. From your early descriptions of both, this seemed like a natural pairing and the most likely way to go, to keep the ...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy,

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]You absolutely incorrectly, in my view, look at the data. The files of cause do not have the same start mark. Why shell they? I did not subtract one from another. You did in phase the files and did the subtraction but what ...

Ok, it is a lot of information on my plate and I am trying to make sense of it. Below I will share my observations about the new Pure Power 3000+.
