Welcome Mac5! Your baseball tour and speaker hunt sounds like a lot of fun! Some great possibilities on that list! I've heard some of them.   Bill's right about the Daedaleus. Good match with tubes.

Everyone keeps mentioning Vapor Cirrus. What is that? Link anyone?

Hi Bill and Richidoo.  Thanks for saying "Hi".

Here's some links to the Vapor Cirrus.

Vapor Web Site
I know many of you have been on the AC forums but I am not sure of the protocol here for referring to a discussion there but here is a user review.  Sorry if this is in bad form.

The actual paths if the embedded links do not work.

Also, I wanted to say to rollo (bit off topic) since you and I would like to hear both Salk and Gedlee speakers that I just finished reading through the Bunch O Amps thread last night and I saw you post back then that the Joule Electra Marquis amps were something you had an interest in.  Not sure your thoughts now but there's a pair of Joule Electra Marquis monos for sale on the 'Gon.

Thanks for the links mac.  Looks like a winner. Pretty curves reduce diffraction, not too low reflex tuning, great drivers, 2nd order crossover, nice veneering.

Our friend Hugh of AngelCityAudio has a pair of VZN-100's for sale right here http://www.audionervosa.com/index.php?topic=2765.0 

I had Jud build me this pair brand new and later sold them to Hugh.  They are a spectacular pair of OTL amps at this price.  Most do not have the "Musicwood" cases like these that were significantly more $$$.  Worth checking out for sure if you want a taste of great OTL's.

I don't know how I forgot to put the AudioKinesis Planetarium Beta System on my must-hear list.:duh  Well, really anything by Duke come to think of it.

After reading Chris Marten's review of the YG Carmels in TAS recently, I would love a chance to hear them.   The YG stuff is very pricey tho.

richidoo

Very good specs on those YGs.

I heard the Anat Reference at RMAF. It sounded very clean. I talked with the designer too, a nice young man, very smart.

High on my list at the moment...

Aerial 7Ts (broken in and setup correctly)
Von Schweikert VR-35s (or VR-33s)

Hopefully I'll get another shot at the 7Ts within a week or two.

I would like to hear the GoldenEar Tritons.  They have received a great deal of buzz at the recent CEDIA  and CES shows.  The press has been very positive.  Has anyone heard them?
