I wonder what a pair of Tympani type (three panel) speakers with today's Magnepan technology would sound like - I'll bet they would light up Carnegie Hall. I wish I'd kept my Tympani IVa speakers that I was happily using in 1989! They surely filled a room (both with their physical size and the music they produced)

Mike is not one of a few. Without him, we would not be where we are.

As I say, I never actually met Mr. Kay but did see him in the store once, perhaps twice, and knew who he was. I trust that the current owners will take care of his "baby," and Lyric will probably be my go-to store for any future Mac gear I might buy (considering a Mac preamp, should I decide to replace my ARC).

That's a vintage arm worth owning. A work of art.
