Has anyone had a chance to compare the sound of these new planers to the Stax electrostats from the '80s?

Thanks guys. This is what I was afraid of. I'll keep looking.

There is an auction listing for a pair of Kappa 8 cabinets and grills about an hour from me ending tomorrow. These are currently at 99 cents/local pick-up only. They ended last week (first listing) with no bidders so I suspect if I want them they can be had very cheap. The same seller has the crossovers available. If I purchase the cabinets and crossovers, how much will the drivers likely cost? Will they cost more than the speakers are worth when reassembled? I have never had a pair of the better Infinity speakers but they are spoken well of here so I have been thinking I should get a pair and try them. Does this make sense or should I wait for a complete pair? Input is appreciated.

Congrats! I am a fan of Mirage speakers. The OM-7 are quite nice. I have a pair of OMD-15 that are one of my favorites.

That is a great idea... Thanks!

I'm not a big fan of the LT-30 turntables but they have quite a cult following and hold their value really well.

Nice speakers!

Welcome to the site. It is the home too some very bright, helpful, and warped individuals.

This is a tough one. After eliminating the stuff that is arguably blues (Stevie Ray) or country (Skynyrd) my choice is: The Temples Of Syrinx By Rush Album: 2112 Honorable Mentions: Frank Zappa - Stevie's Spanking, Triumph - Blinding Light Show, Concrete Blonde - Carry Me Away

Thanks for the review. It sounds like time to order one of these.

Welcome! This is a nice place with knowledgeable and thoughtful people. I'm sure you will enjoy your time here.

I thought I remembered a discussion about these and I just found the emails about them. A friend of mine from London auditioned a pair and felt they were quite good for video but very average for acoustic music. He is a concert violinist so maybe a bit more critical than most of us so YMMV. (He ended up buying a pair of B&W's.)

Let us know how this sounds. I'm looking forward to it.

I have a son who really likes New Age stuff like Tangerine Dream and a heavy dose of Zappa. My daughter likes string quartets. My grand daughter likes rockabilly (Robert Gordon etc.)

And your car is still there when you return???
