The Television builders should consider ribbons instead of regular speakers for the TV speakers, and a 2-way design which should provide much better sound then what it does currently, with such technology.

Please watch this one on eBay.

Thanks for your insights, Greg and Martin. It will take a lot of work for me to deliver 4500W. I agree 9A s is the extreme, but I was looking at the worst case. Martin.. I am glad to hear of a torture test, thanks.

It is 5W/16ohm resistor, so expected to carry almost 9A. Is there enough room to move the resistor from the top of the inductor and put it next to each other with a bit of clearance for air flow. Insulating the resistor leads with sleeves to be soldered to the inductance in parallel will provide some isolation. The sleeves could be replaced by using the same 3m/130c tape wrapped around the resistor legs. I am trying to think of five+ years after use. The other factor to consider is that quarter of the resistor surface area will be covered by tape if they are on top of each other reducing heat dissipation a bit.

Apologies for the misinterpretation, Z. The slim cases are an excellent idea. They are $18 for 100. I will order a set of 100.

Z... next time you plan to drive up, let me know. If you can bring some jewel cases, it would be wonderful, and please do expect compensation for them.

I am planning to go after this . @Z... someone borrowed my original new CD and never returned it. I am still pissed at this individual.

I had an SVS SB-2000 and the JL E110 in the same room, for almost a month. I bought a refurb SB-2000 just to test it. Played Skyfall, Fifth Planet, DSOTM SACD, Star Trek (the volcano scenes). On the SB-2000 alone, 1. Skyfall was completely muddy in the helicopter scenes and the explosion scenes. 2. The volcano scene was a non-starter. 3. Fifth element, the titles and craft landing was a bit easier to handle. I used both SB-2000 and E110 together in a daisy chain (E110 allows this in setup), and I could tell the difference between the two. The plate-amp was bad the first time, but SVS customer service did a very fine job and sent a replacement quickly. Removed the SB-2000 (it was eventually returned), added a second E110, and Skyfall and Fifth Element was an eye-opener. My kids almost threw me out of the house. I was relegated and confined to the basement for the night. BarryG and Fill35U have heard the 2ch with a single E110. Flight of the Cosmic Hippo from Carver Reference CD#1 shakes the basement like no other. I have no plans to use the HT setup to play the CD and be divorced and disowned at the same time. I have heard the Fathom and Gotham at the JLA dealer on stereo setup (the dealer does not have much of a HT room). They are even better, but the price is not very amenable. I prefer two physically separate E110s to a dual-sub setup. I also played Top Gun as a test on 2 x E110 setup using HD-DVD, and it is most excellent. I would highly recommend the JLA subs.

I will try and get one of Dominions for an audition and see how it sounds. Will report back in a couple of weeks. You are probably referring to this one.

I have been fascinated by this company and the products they make in the Home Audio space. There is a new Dominion series that I had not noticed about 3-4 months ago. Interestingly as tid-bit, they have an E-series, F(athom), G(otham) and now D(ominion), which is EFGD, missing ABC in the middle. Has anyone had a chance to audition these? Any opinions if you have?

From this, apparently True Analog Playback The laser beam travels to the wall of the groove and back. The reflection angle is transferred to the audio signal, meaning that the LT maintains analog sound through the entire process, without any digitization. As a result, the LT cannot differentiate between an audio signal or dirt on the record. To keep your records clean and improve the overall audio signal, we recommend a record vacuum cleaner.

TARDIS has arrived...

It is wonderful to see you back, Jim.

There is a slightly OT discussion about Power Steering Mode and using just one channel on each m500t and letting it borrow power from the other side, if necessary, without bridging. This is also what prompted my question. Will keep an eye on the m500t s that I have.

Are those 500t s bridged?

If they were easy to ship, we could collectively buy the 1800 pair and put on a road show but shipping will be a PITA.

Kevin... are these Ohm F the ones where you delivered some equipment? And these ?

You made my day, LVMan. Now just waiting for BarryG.

This may not be the highest quality recording, but the music is fabulous. Duke Ellington at Newport - Diminuendo in Blue and Crescendo in Blue - Paul Gonsalves' solo.

If DaddyJT wants to create a second CS Reference disk set, this is very highly recommended to be included on it. I have a XR-metal recording which someone made for me. It is on a cassette tape. The CD is currently unreasonably priced (at least for me) - http://www.amazon.com/Morello-Standard-Time-Joe/dp/B000003DE9

Z... apart from your speaker and electrical skills, I would like to commend your photographic skills as well. They are most excellent.

On 1812, the cannons really test the speakers. If anyone has Telarc's Gustav Holt's Planets, it is also an exquisite recording. Some of the Concertgebouw Telarc recordings are gems, for example Grieg's Piano Concerto in A (Horowitz, if I recall). PS: Just saw LVMan had already mentioned The Planets. Apologies, LVMan, if you also meant Gustav Holst's composition.

I bought the 1985 CD for $6+ (Free shipping) on eBay yesterday. Looking forward to it.
