Steve, I read your excitement in these posts. Very cool. I remember reading many times that you would go to your grave with the Lamm electronics, but I never read you using similar words for your speakers. Thanks for sharing these latest updates.

These all look like records. What source did you use to do the set up? Were these recordings brought for the set up or do you have them in your collection?

Hi Peter. Yes those are records and I did post that these were some of Gideon's demo tracks that he brings with him on set up.

As for Lamm you are correct, I did say that about Lamm and a prerequisite of mine when I ordered the speakers was that my Lamm electronics would drive them. I have posted here that 2 very large concerns of mine were put to rest with listening to these Plural Evo loaners

1.. I no longer have any concern about my Lamm amps driving these speakers. We had the gain on the preamp between the 4 and 5 position and there was plenty of headroom. Some tracks we had to turn the gain down lower. When I listened with my Wilson speakers the gain was usually between 5--6 (this is for digital), When we played vinyl and tape, the settings were virtually identical to those when I had my Wilson speakers)

2. I had concern that the size of the soundstage would be much smaller than that when I had my Wilson speakers as I had this preconceived notion that the sound stage would be commensurate with that of a smaller speaker. Such was not the case as the soundstage was equal to that of the larger Wilson speakers
