Thanks, Stephan.
That was in the year 2000.
Let's hope Martion doesn't raise the prices at the speed AlsyVox does, otherwise the Orgon might cost 150k in the meantime :rolleyes:

the most complex current and voltage stabilization for tubes that I have ever seen. shockingly noiseless with ears on the loudspeaker

Yes, there's regulation and then there's REGULATION! The Angstrom is that latter...

As everyone is fond of saying, you're only listening to a modulated power supply. I love seeing builds like that.

Wish you'd gotten it so we could read about the listening impressions.

Oh. Fully active.
That makes the price look more reasonable.

But I would prefer a semi-active version with only the cornerhorn active and the whole rest passive :D
I know that he fulfills customer needs just ask. ohh yes 300b set for high, el 84 set for mid and mid bass el 34 push pull triode .... a dream

My wife is VERY understanding and VERY forthcoming but NO WAY a sub that tall will block the view any more than what is already standing in the living room :p

Btw. at what frequency does the cornersub cross over to upper bass/lower mids horn?

And why not mount all the horns in a vertical row in this config? :confused:
