I listen to AM talk radio every so often, and FM quite regularly, mostly the one station that still plays classical, plus a roots rock station from time to time. That's about it. Stations are reasonably close.

Our posts crossed in the internet ether. Signal Cable does offer Euro plugs, so send an email to them and see what your shipped cost would be. I'd be very interested in your findings, as I'm sure many of us would be on here.

I did, and wrote down my findings in the last post on that thread. I'll recopy it here: "I sampled multiple varieties of power cables in my system, and only lastly after having a few left over I decided to see what it would do to my Summits. I tried Grant Fidelity with a small...

So now what do I do with my Sequel II's? My old pair of Sequel II's still sound good as they've seen light use only, and were in storage for a few years. Then I purchased my Summits. The Sequel II's coating is degrading, so the cabinetry needs stripping and refinishing. I was planning to use...

A slightly belated hello and welcome from a fellow Canuck. Once you've gone electrostatic you'll never go back. Congrats!

The only issue might be the Vantages impedance curve. Check and see how these amps behave at very low impedances. Bridgeing an amp halves the impedance the amp sees. I discovered this principle using a Bel Canto eVo4 in bridged mode driving my Summits. At high listening volumes the amp's...

Hmmm, I just dug deeper into Stereophile's Sept 09 review of this amp, and in the Measurements section it said the amplifier has problems driving loads below 4 ohms. Not great for ML's, especially as I was considering it for a second system using my old but still fine Sequel II's. I guess it's...

I was always told the SFL-1 is a hybrid. It only has 1 tube. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I never thought it was colored at all, more like a nice balance between SS extension and tube midrange. It sounds even better with the Parts Connexion upgrade. That's why I'm planning on keeping it...

Has anyone purchased or heard a Moscode 402Au with ML's? A local dealer has started stocking them so I'd to try it, but curious if anyone else has. I've read TonePub's review and noted his accolade in other posts here, plus Stereophile's review. Anyone else have personal experience? Would...

Signal Cable Ultra speaker cables. I was interested in their Silver Resolution series but they recommended the cheaper cable as better synergy with ML's. I'm going to use them on a second system with my old Sequel II's.

Power cord, definitely! I sampled multiple varieties of power cables in my system, and only lastly after having a few left over I decided to see what it would do to my Summits. I tried Grant Fidelity with a small improvement. I had decided on Nordost power cords for the rest of my system by...

My Summits certainly rockwhen I want them to. But mostly I want the glorious midrange of ESL's, as I mostly listen to jazz, classical, and blues now. I do have my old hard rock/head banger/techno/alternative stuff from the 80's, all on LP, and it floats my boat when the mood strikes. I've got...

Yes, I have the price of a nice car "invested" in my 2 channel system, and still no HT. :) I have a 15 year old RCA rear projection TV that won't die, a regular DVD player and a 15 year old VCR that still works as new. Can't complain about those purchases! Anyway, we're planning on finishing...
