As a proud owner of Sound Lab electrostatic speakers I have to question your choice for the project name.

I just checked. My oil-filled space heater consumes 1500 watts on the high setting. 600W at low and 900W at the medium setting. Constellation power consumption is 1500W max. That is 25 60-watt light bulbs. Of course I would not be operating at the maximum capacity but I still have a hard time...

Thanks, I will revisit Coda specs. I could probably get a loaner since I am only a few miles away. I tried a JRDG Continuum integrated many years ago. Big yawn. Not sure what the current offerings are.

Mike, How much heat do they produce? I see the power draw can reach 1500W. 43 pounds is acceptable. Champagne--yuck!!! Made in CA. :)

I looked at Coda then forgot. Heat and weight if I remember correctly.

Did you mean the MC611? Not going to happen. Unit Weight 97.5 lbs (44.32 kg) I am working on a cable review. When I finish, I may connect my MA8950 integtated using the amp section only. I don't remember being that impressed in the past. Not bad, just not...

What company would that be?

Many reasons to not go there. Lack of power (112W). Seriously, who rates an amp at 112 watts? Coudn't get to 125? Granted they might sound fantastic on the right speakers. But there is no guarantee they can handle the very high imedance Sound Labs exhibit at low frequencies. Small company. I...

I have been open to trying Class-D amplifiers from the earliest offerings from Bel Cantos and Merrill Audio to several of the newest topologies. Every one disappointed me. I won't be fooled again.

Been there, done that.

After reading many show reports, from a personal perspective, I am very discouraged at the march toward excessive prices, size, heat, and weight. Reports from Munich were especially depressing. I get Munich is "go big or stay home" but what I see does not bode well for the industry. I have spent...

Confused?? Which reading indicates a good tweeter? :unsure:

I bet you forgot something.

I have not purchased new jeans in many years. When I did they were JCPenneys' Arizona and St. John's Bay brands. Now their Arizona brand men's jeans are on sale $28-$32.
