Damn, someone needs to step up.

Hey Jim, any word from any of the NY boyz yet? Oh, and on topic, the Raptor sucks.

Sounds like you should just get a better electrostatic speaker to begin with rather than bothering with all that...

w00t, new title

Happy Birthday Jamie!

Makes sense in that case. Is there an ESL-2007?

I took the first as you following the recent trend to misspell things and the second as a joke. I can see that now, but originally it looked like you were adding that to be sure that we new it was serious after the not so serious opening sentence. Anyways, it wont be the last time something is misunderstood on the internet. And I still don't see the point of this thread.

How old are these speakers that they must be 'properly restored' to sound their best? Is there a current model that is equivalent?

You went out of your way to say that this thread was serious... so I thought that maybe you might have gotten SOME amp, even if not a 13k stupidass 300B amp. I'm not gullible, I guess I just expected more.

Where did you get it at Nate?

Ah, billy is a potato... it all makes sense now.

That would be pretty funny.

I used to work at the queens warehouse in missisauga where they stored all that shit. There was a barred off weapons section too, with a katana right near the edge. Was so tempted to jimmie the thing out of there, but resisted somehow. So, did you get a new speaker amp?

Waitaminnut, those are $13k? Either you stole something very expensive from work, inherited some money, or are full of shit. Which is it?

Buy Toms speakers.

I'm waiting for the HCT HMS 100 knockoff myself.

Yeah, I guess you got me there with the separate sentences. So, you meant that they are high priced yet good... though not necessarily of the same magnitude as Atma-Sphere and Kondo?

Are you using it with that boostaroo thing or without?

nono, it's like this: )) <> ((

Weird, so... how much do they suck?

Wavelength mentioned in the same sentence as Atma-Sphere and Kondo? Interesting. I'd like to see what KG thinks about the company.

That is one good step, I'll give you that... I think it is more relative to what is in them vs. how much they cost. Same reason I'll never buy Empirical Audio. I guess it is a combination of my bullshit meter and my cheapass meter.

I'll be interested to see how it compares to the Hertsens. I don't know why, but Wavelength has always made my bullshit meter go into overload... I've been wrong before though, and for Mike's sake I hope it is a keeper.

"Says the man with the electret" That's electret-dynamic system to you, son! Seriously though, I try not to look at audiophile as the 'dirty' word that some do. Am I an audiophile? Without a doubt. What non audiophile customizes his stereo equipment, uses tubes, spends more than $100 on headphones, etc. I recently showed a picture of my office to a couple coworkers. They both liked the color scheme, and commented on my Wife's Mac (were in IT and support an all PC evironment), but one said "What's that thing with all the little lightbulbs?" and the other said "Nice valve amp!". I bet you can guess which is the audiophile.

Guess what? You own electrostatic headphones. You are an audiophile. Sorry.
