Nice work Jay, I figured it was something like that. Have you heard the L3000's before to give you an idea of how close these come? Are they clearly better than your VTGs? Did you sell those btw?

Ok, I can check that at some point. I take it the first scenario would be better as long as the power amp can put out what my speakers need? Why would the headphone output be a bad place to have the preamp outs?

LOL

That could account for a LOT. Thanks for letting us know.

Fuck, no, that was an honest mistake... make that $13,000 amps. Grawk - I don't know. Either I'm really dense or have missed something. I have a guess, but that's all it is.

lol, funny AND true. Hey KG, a little off topic, but while we are on pre-amps... given the current state of my amp, how well do you think it would it work as one? I've yet to try it [no balanced power amp], but it does have the XLR outs on the back.

We need something... this is like starting a thread about $13 amps that you didn't buy!

I'm advanced. Seriously though, that sounds cool... it is dynamic though, so spritzer no likey.

The B52 wasn't too bad with the k340s actually. That is a lot of money for a couple Raptors though, I agree.

Damn, someone needs to step up.

Hey Jim, any word from any of the NY boyz yet? Oh, and on topic, the Raptor sucks.

Sounds like you should just get a better electrostatic speaker to begin with rather than bothering with all that...

w00t, new title

Happy Birthday Jamie!

Makes sense in that case. Is there an ESL-2007?

I took the first as you following the recent trend to misspell things and the second as a joke. I can see that now, but originally it looked like you were adding that to be sure that we new it was serious after the not so serious opening sentence. Anyways, it wont be the last time something is misunderstood on the internet. And I still don't see the point of this thread.

How old are these speakers that they must be 'properly restored' to sound their best? Is there a current model that is equivalent?

You went out of your way to say that this thread was serious... so I thought that maybe you might have gotten SOME amp, even if not a 13k stupidass 300B amp. I'm not gullible, I guess I just expected more.

Where did you get it at Nate?

Ah, billy is a potato... it all makes sense now.

That would be pretty funny.

I used to work at the queens warehouse in missisauga where they stored all that shit. There was a barred off weapons section too, with a katana right near the edge. Was so tempted to jimmie the thing out of there, but resisted somehow. So, did you get a new speaker amp?

Waitaminnut, those are $13k? Either you stole something very expensive from work, inherited some money, or are full of shit. Which is it?

Buy Toms speakers.

I'm waiting for the HCT HMS 100 knockoff myself.
