    Where do you predict the tube market will go?

    I think that with tube amps being such a niche item within a niche hobby (audio), in the grand scheme of things, little difference will be seen if tubes stay or disappear in terms of overall electrical consumption.

    Sealed versus Ported Bass, can the difference be measured?

    Rolloff rate below cutoff can show up the difference. A sealed box will roll off at a slower rate than a vented box design will once bottom of the frequency response range is reached.

    Electrostatic speakers?

    My impression of ESL's is that flat ones are very beamy; step off to the side of one just a bit and the highs disappear. Curved ones may prevent that. I've never heard a curved ESL, so I don't experientially know.

    Upgrade of the day: Shorter cables

    Lesser capacitance of the shorter cable may have resulted in a bit less HF rolloff if the source impedance feeding it were sufficiently high.

    "Inefficient" speakers are "worse" than "efficient" speakers

    You can have small size. The speaker can go very low in bass frequencies. It can go loud. You can have any two of those three.
