Anybody remember Amber Electronics? I have some
Amber was one of those companies that made great gear but somehow didn't catch on. I have an Amber 7 tuner which is very nicely made and sounds very good. I've heard it was made for them by Rotel. I can't verify but I've always had a hunch Amber w...

Audiofeil - That's a great idea and totally germane to this discussion. Why not start with my kindergarten teacher and work your way forward. Your proclivity to make everything personal is cancerous and inappropriate.

Kgturner - Rather than imagining how I will behave in the future, why don't you look at how I have behaved in the past? That's a much more reliable indicator.I've been trading as a member here for 7 years and I have 91 transactions recorded. I hav... 
Optimum size for music room?
I have imagined a suspended floor with individual concrete piers under the speaker areas and the equipment rack. You need to make them large enough to be able to move gear around on them especially for speaker placement. This arrangement would eli... 
vintage turntables?
The high end vintage Japanese turntables were statement products which came from huge companies with vertical integration and economy of scale that today's turntable manufacturers can't even dream about. There was a huge R&D budget subsidized ...

Sorry. I still don't get it. I mean I understand plainly that everyone wants pictures. I just don't understand the level of emphasis this want receives. You can see 6 gorgeous photos of a $4000 power amp only to find out, once you own it, that it ...

Well, here's my take. Many of my replies have been from Europe. There are many excellent photos available to demonstrate configuration and function available on the Rowland website and, for Zu, on the 6moons site. In both cases the photography far... 
Very budget bass only amp with gain control?
The Crown K-2 is very cheap in the context of high end audio. I bought mine for $650. There is no better bass amp. 
Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please
I would buy the Emerald Physics CS-2 sight unseen just because of who said what about them and because I have been hearing about open baffle speakers for a couple of years now. The idea makes sense to me and this particular attempt at the design c... 
What is the 'Chales Shaw' of loudspeakers?
Jaybo - I know you mean well but there isn't enough Charles Shaw on earth to make me believe that claim. Have you been drinking?

Zu Druid is 50 inches tall with drivers at the top. Will fill a large room and will do so with 50 watts. Typically sell for $2000/pair used. Add a powered sub and you're done.
