Henry W, I have taken an extra few minutes to arrange pen & pad, pillows, and a large beverage so that I might committ my full mental abilities in the hope that I might gain YOUR insight and learn (O Audio Guru!) just how the heck you made hersey's sound good in a tube amp system---I too have a pair and for a 2-channel main was vastly unimpressed--no soundstage at all-----and I have my eye on a nice pair of used Omega 3's ----again, Sir how did you arrange those speakers---frankly, I got lost as to where was what---Jim

Unfortunately, I was commenting on my experience with Fostex, not a direct reply to the original question of the thread. The speaker stuff was simply a reference point as a small insight as to what type of colorations I find most pleasing in listening and to maybe let folks understand where my 'ear' bias resided. I guess I will have to work on gaining knowledge so you can take notes while I describe the difference between soundstage and extraneous delayed reflections (all tongue in cheek - put smiley face here). Until I do so, I'll be more careful in saying anything else that displays my shallow understanding nor go to far afield from the starting point of the thread. Soundstage - what a great lead in to a never ending argument. Guru out.....

Hi Akhilesh! Let me guess - You must be talking about - Could it be? Stephens Trusonics :-) Looking forward to a Great Plains Audio Club meeting at your place in January. People are gonna love your Trusonics and your Klipschorns. I know I do. And I still need to buy one of those amps like you have, I forget the name. But it will have to wait until after Christmas anyway.

Hi Jim! Akhilesh is going to host a gathering at his house in January. You and I discussed this a couple of days ago, and I wanted to point you to some of the right folks. So watch the Audio Round Table forums and the π Speakers forum for "Great Plains Audio Club" posts. Wayne

I second old AlNiCo drivers. I am a big fan of old EV fullrange drivers. I currently have a pair of LS-12's in an open baffle and can't decide between them and some slightly modded Klipsch Heresy's I have. They both sound real good and natural. They also both have AlNiCo magnets! They beat anything else I've owned in over 30 years of being in this hobby. I haven't owned any Fostex yet, but I've heard a few. They have a different sonic character then the EV's. Haven't heard them enough to decide which sounds better, or at least which I would prefer in the long run. Dave
