    Congratulations rad. Gorgeous speakers and room. You are blessed. What electronics and cables are you using?

    I have some beefs with modern audio racks and furniture.

    I had one highly respected rack. My disappointment was in how much usable space was lost to support arms and alleged isolation. I had a hard time fitting in my equipment. Good riddance. Now I have two custom racks made locally out of Claro (California walnut). I ordered my Sound Lab speakers to...

    I am staggered by all the zeros in the price tags in too many rooms. :(

    Popori Acoustics

    Anyone have experience with Popori Acoustics? Some of the claims they make are interesting but I am also skeptical. I have heard the major players in the USA in the electrostatic speaker field in the past. I know they do not necessarily sound the same. As a new player, Popori peaks my...

    New Video: Building the Listening Chair's Sound Lab. Project introduction!

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

    Summer Amplification?

    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...

    Summer Amplification?

    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.

    Summer Amplification?

    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?

    Summer Amplification?

    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...

    Summer Amplification?

    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.
