Good idea

Of course. Owning the libs is far more important than whatever might be good for the country.

Jim, you ruined it - we were enjoying the spectacle of those two patting themselves on the back for their self-induced gotcha moment. Adult illiteracy in America: funny or sad?

Tubes, huh? Do you prefer the sound? One amp per speaker?

I like both systems a lot.  The Linkwitz system is extremely clear and pristine.  The tubes have a ton of soul.  Jim
That’s awesome, and a fun hobby.  Those are some strange-looking speakers! Very impressive.  Brings back fond memories from college. Lab partner and I designed a pre-amp and amp that had to meet RIAA standards for +/- 1dB over 20 to 20K Hz. Much to our surprise the damned thing actually sounded pretty good. Filtering was the biggest challenge as I recall. Only cranked out about 30 W/channel, though.

You sure don't talk like one.  

Here's a clue for you, his system can drive more than 1 speaker.  LOL.  

The only thing I can tell from his system is that he's got dual mono amps and he has some Omega XRS speakers the towers
Whatever, blowhard.

He's just an attention-seeker. Unfortunately, we're all giving him exactly what he craves.
