I'll refrain from commenting on the performance of the Alexandria; I've heard it once and am willing to keep an open mind on the grounds that the installation may not have been correctly set up; it was at an audio show paired with Audio Research gear...

Rakesh,Two things I see that may or may not turn out to be an issue:1) The relatively narrow stance of the front wheels; depending on how heavily you load the top of the frame, stability could be a bit on the limit when moving things around, especial...

Translation:Rottbull seems to want T/S parameters for his RCF N850; I'm posting a link to a T/S database which has info on a lot of RCF drivers but not the N850 (it's a compression driver); nevertheless, it may be of some use to him and certainly...

Here's what's behind my comment regarding the irrelevance of color: I strongly suspect that the new production diaphragms will come with transparent Mylar suspension. In that case, I would hope they turn out to have the mechanical properties of the w...

Nice work; bravo Mike! With regard to improvements to the S2: Apparently Romy's prayer, one of them anyway, has been heard and would seem to have been answered; a diaphragm-centering guide has at last been added. As for the rest (other improveme...

Two "temporary" solutions worth considering:1) A big nasty Krell KAV 500i (stereo 2x250 into 8 Ohms; 2x500w into 4 Ohms; built-in preamp; excellent volume potentiometer; remote; holds resale value). Though the mid range and HF of Krell amps is not co...
