What's best in highly sensitive/efficient speakers.

Very nice!
I know Joe from audio shows, he has spent time in our room on several occasions at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. Must admit that actually SEEING his magnificent speaker system makes everything I've done so far look like a toy!
I don't think people realize how amazing those (sadly discontinued) TC Sounds woofers are in his subwoofer system. They used a voice coil with variable winding density such that the magnetic flux remained absolutely linear across an extremely long excursion length. I am unaware of anything like that being done before or since.
Really every single part of his system is magnificent, he just brought up fond memories of TC Sounds, which I used in a few custom subwoofer projects.

Ugh, not Guttenberg... he doesn't do any sound clips, I can't stand it.
What a fabulous system Exlibris, thanks for sharing the link... loved the care and audiophile intensive approach to going for the summit. It would have been the cherry on top if it had finished playing out with some full flight Shosty symphony... Joe if you’re reading this a vid of it all playing some big and wonderous music would be awesome!

Wow this Gutterburg guy just put a 10 minute clip of a dual woofer FLH that just shows two old dudes talking
Lol, perhaps they don’t actually play it because Joe’s wife doesn’t know what is in there behind those double doors and how Joe spent the entire retirement savings on a full range horn system and silver wired transformers for his amp.
Ah two Altec 515b with TAD tweeter, I am in touch with this guy over email.
Audio Technica is only inexpensive, not cheap. They are not hand made by elves in the forest but machine made and therefore much more economical to make but sonically they are great. Are the amps all Chinese? Sounds quite good overall considering it seems to be from a phone.
The big amp is Ming Da. The phono is my Allnic 7000v. And the preamp is a DHT 101d DIY
Almost an year ago. Also compared it to Ypsilon with Lyra atlas, I will write on that sometime, and Montesquieu had it next to the Ear 912 and thoress, he heard mine and ordered the same.
You have to roll the recti though. It is hopeless with the stock recti. Have also compared the older 3000 to the twice more expensive Trulife (which kronos sells as a two box phono at 50) and Allnic was better
I still have and love my Silvaweld SWH650 (seems it was a prototype as it never existed on their website...which went down a few years ago). I have compared it to a number of phonostagothan es (including Allnic 1500II se) and found it sounded better than everything I compared it to except the Aries Cerat Talos (special version we had for a show in 2018), which is pretty pricey.
