Those are some gorgeous looking speakers. Looking forward to your thoughts once you live with them for a while.

I've made a few changes. First, the room treatments. I've posted pix in the 'room treatments' thread. Second, I picked up a Sonic Frontiers SLF 1 preamp (sonic gold!). Then, I swapped out the digital monoblocks for another Antique Sound Labs MG S1 15 tube amp which I picked up used (came with the wonderful Svetlana Winged-C 6550 tubes).
Then I swapped this ASL for my modified Antique Sound Labs MG S1 15DT with upgraded copper V-Caps capacitors but swapped in the Svetlana Winged Cs from the new (used) ASL amp.
I have not received the cross over which will allow me to tri amp the Emerald Physics speakers yet.
I have an Axiom EP600 in this system.
The sound? GLORIOUS! Real. Best system I've ever heard.
Next steps.
When the Emerald Physics DSP 2.8 digital processor comes, I will Tri amp with the Yamaha M80 (I have 2, maybe 2 of those and the tube amp for 3)
I've ordered the Hana low output mc cartridge with nude shibata stylus for the MMF 7.1 turntable. I picked up a Moon 110LP mc phono stage.
That should do it.
Oh, except, I picked up a vintage (beautiful) Amber 7 tuner which just arrived, and that'll go in the system.

Then I'm done. Really. No, really.
I will post pix as soon as my ISP email is back up and running.

Sounds great. Too bad I live on the opposite corner of the continent or I would find some pretext to come over and have a listen

Congratulations on find your sonic nirvana with a speaker that has a wildly fluctuating response curve, a beaming midrange and a design team that includes a convicted felon. As you also adore highly distorted tubed amps, this is not a surprise. Enjoy!

Thank you for your kind thoughts.
Maybe a bit too much Johnny Walker Red tonight?
Trouble with the wife?
Dog die?
I hope all is well with you.

ooh, the pre-edit would'a been juicy.
So 2x6 how are you liking the setup now the DSP has been fixed. Did it resolve the 800hz issue?

I don't get drunk, my wife is a gem, my dogs are healthy, and all I did was post facts along with congratulations.
You prefer sound that lacks accuracy. Many people do. Relax and enjoy it.

Is there a back story here. Wow craig that was some pretty insulting stuff, not what I expect from you or anyone who hangs here on a regular basis.
