    I am telling you try one from Amazon, if ya don't like it send it back ( you don't have to pay the tax and all you have is shipping ). My money says you keep it :). I also saw that blog thank you. I just bought an external hard drive today and I am making all my files to FLAC as we speak. I have some more experimenting to do but I agree with most of what has been written on this little thing ( pretty amazing ).

    So far it's one of the best additions to my system.... tuner, cd players and antenna look like they will be up for sale...........stay tuned

    1500.00 for a pair in good condition. Is there even a comparison between these two? Cornwall bass is superior but coloration is also superior. The horns and drivers in altecs are clearly better even proven with measurements. mowntnbkr, you are on the right track. A comparison between the 19 and the khorn or RF7 would be a better test.

    In your tests did you drive both with the same preamp and amplification?

    Any need to burn in new speaker cables? Does it make them sound better?

    For those interested in delving deeper, I have white papers dealing with burn-in for Sunday mornings after going to a Mexican restaurant Saturday night.

    That's more like burn out! I almost lost an O ring once that way when stuck on the Pittsburgh trolley after a long night out. Local Mexican restaurant called Jose and Toni's gave me the worst case of Jose hole as it has been referred to ever since. I used to ride the train to work daily, but this morning was going to be different than any another. It started with a small stomach growl, like the Mexican food was saying adiós your done. I played as if it was nothing, sure, I could handle it, I've been here before I told myself. Well the birth pangs lead to one after the next until there was no end in sight. I pinched so hard you could have put nickels into that slot and had them come back as quarters. I stood up, pulled the emergency stop cord on the train and told the conductor if he did not stop the train immediately he would have a tragedy on his hands. He exclaimed "Dude, can you hold it until the next stop"? " I'll floor it!" - HE DID!- I never knew a trolley could move like that. Needless to say, he spared all 60+ on the train. Getting off the story get's even better. No bathroom no nothing.... .....but 20 more passengers boarding and a steep inclining hillside. Well, 4 strides into ascending that hill I started to lose it by the 5 stride the grip of that Mexican dinner stopped me dead in my tracks. As the trolley pulled away I know there was a sigh of relief for the conductor and the unsuspecting travelers. As I remember it, the sun was shinning but all if not most on the trolley would agree that they witnessed a Full Moon on Monday at 8:15AM!
