They will be usingthe Mark Audio Alpair 7.3 drivers - https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.co...-4-full-range/Originally Posted by walpurgis
Hmm. Frugel Horns. They should be interesting. What sensitivity are you looking at with those Kevin?
I reckon you're going to need some super smooth and sweet valve amplification there.
My amps are supposed to work really well with the speakers, so it will be interesting to find out just how good these are. Only issue is the 200 hours of running them in.

Well, this thread have lately turned into another platter debateAnd we have some of those threads already on the forum. The ETP platter is always interesting to discuss, and still I would like to hear it before I buy such an expensive platter. How much differense will I get compared to the Oyaide BR-One butyl mat + Oyaide MJ-12?
I have also been thinking of saving up to buy a second TT. I would have a hard time to part with my M5G now and maybe the best thing to do would be to get a second table? One of the best looking tables in my eyes are the Nottingham Analogue tables; and espesially the Space 294 and the Hyperspace. I once heard the NAS Annalog and it sounded fantastic. But that was before I got into vinyl.
Has any of you any comments when it comes to comparing the sound of a modifies Technics to a NAS Ace Space 294 or NAS Hyperspace? What would I expect with the NAS?
My music is mostly jazz and classical music. Other music I listen to would be Dire Straits and Tracy Chapman...hardly any rock music....
NAS vs modified techy??

Well, I'll might as well write it here, since I started this thread. Yesterday I ordered a Mike New ETP Platter (same as the one Marco got Mike told me). I'm very excited and really hope it will be a noticable upgrade compared to the Oyaide platterThis upgrade will hopefully turn my great TT into something very different and high end kind of table...
I'll post some pctures and a mini review when I have it installed.
