| What’s hot in monitors from $2K to $3K in 2012? I mentioned the Vapor Aurora because it sounded most like what you're looking for, they're building something else for me. But I remember talking with Ryan about that design, he said they have 2 pair ready to ship ... no waiting. | |
| What’s hot in monitors from $2K to $3K in 2012? The Vapor Audio Aurora will go flat to 35hz and is a stand mounted 2-way, and is $2695/pair. I've spoken with Vapor about it recently, and they said it has a new ceramic dome tweeter that is supposed to be fantastic, and with no price increase. | |

| Does anyone know the value of BEL 1001 MKV? I've seen many go for between $1000 and $1500 each. At that price, they're near impossible to beat ... a pair of them as monoblocks are incredible sounding amps. | |
| Are Dusson amplifiers still available in the US? Nice amps, I used to have one of their big integrateds and really enjoyed it. Let us know if you find a current distributor. | |
| what is the best sounding speakers for under 5000. Those Tempesta's looked interesting, but I don't see the point of a small midrange with a 7" woofer ... shouldn't the 7" woofer be able to reach up to the bottom end of the tweete without problem? In talking with Rick it seemed like he only decide... | |
| McCormack DNA500 for Revel Salon 2? vs Lev/Mac? I went from a pair of DNA 750's to a BMC S1 on my Salon 2's and couldn't be happier with the change.
