It's similar to DuraTex. I have read other's squabbles and at the end of the day, it is the same old duck season/rabbit season argument. I have seen both and I like them both, but I have not seen them side by side to see if I like one better than the other.... other than price. DuraTex - $94 ExoHyde - $75 -
Agree, alot of sweat investment. What is this Exohyde that you mentioned? Thanks!

Is it true these can only be used with the CT120 or CT125 Tweeters? -

Oh, I thought it might be the cost of the coating or something. It looks like a lot of work to refinish them ready to paint, whereas Duratex will hide a lot of the small stuff. Also, if they had an industrial finish, rather than paint, they might not be scratched so badly. -
Yamaha 1010 or 2010 integrated or receivers are vintage (late 1970s), and sound great with Klipsch speakers. The one, I had, had a switch on the front to switch to class A too. Class A is nice for low level listening at its best and great for Klipsch speakers! -
Hello, Do you still have your VPI TNT for sale? Thank you -

The 1.5t MKII OPT II, has been re-installed is doing well. The “Thump”, has been eliminated, best of all the ceiling fan can be turned on & off without terrorizing our dog, and everyone else in the house. So, a win there for sure. Full disclosure, it’s probably overkill for the family room system, which is mostly TV/Movies 30% usually 5.1.2; with the Carver powering the L&R RP-280Fs. So, it rarely gets the chance to “Rock”. First impressions upon re-install were, that it was a bit harsh on the high end, this has either settled out after several days, or I’ve just grown accustomed to it(maybe it’s just the RP-280Fs that are “harsh”). It now has that usual increase in richness and soundstage that I’ve come to expect with external amplification, even just two channels, frees up the Denon to power everything else better. The Center ch dialogue is clearer without the load of the L&R. For 2.1 music, usually streamed through AppleTV, it is effortlessly reaching insane volume levels, and sounding good. If I get ambitious I’d like to hear it how it sounds with the La Scalas. Moving heavy things around, and re-wiring, is not on my agenda today. if you have one these old Carver amps, check with Nelion Audio, and let Greg work his magic, It’s worth it. Money well spent in my opinion. -
I used studs on 8" centers, pink insulation, a layer of 3/4" plywood and then green glue and 5/8" drywall. The sound is pretty damn good with no noticeable vibrations or rattles at any volume. I did a fair amount of soundproofing tricks but the effort to totally isolate becomes a case in diminishing returns fast.
