| Speaker cabinets: How important is inert "Two examples of the alternate route would be the Harbeth speakers and Audio Note speakers. "What route DOES Audio Note (UK?) take? They look like a Radio Shack project speaker, and imo, don't sound much better than my first pair of SoundDesigns i... | |
| Monoblocks, passive bi-amped or passive tri-amped? Isn't most of the power demanded by the woofer? So, adding a second amp for the mids and high doesn't really take much load away from the woofer amp.(assuming a three way design) I agree that adding a second identical amp does not really double th... | |

| What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers? Soundolear? Anyone remember this company? Speakers that look like a floor lamp. Has any progress been made with on-the-wall sound panels?

| Is it okay to talk around your speakers? We talk allot about tweaking gear to sound better like spending mega bucks on power cables (which may be the same thing with another name on it) lets spend more on a cable than the actual amp! And things like Beaks? What the heck is a beak? If tha... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Really, McIntosh has become some what of an installer brand sold at licensed low voltage and home automation dealers. Right next to alarms and vacuume cleaners. I don't know what this does to the brands image, but surely allot of gear is falling i... | |
| Is it okay to talk around your speakers? Yea okay. Some of you guys think an audio rack can make things better. How on earth does a $13,000 wood rack work?You set up your gear on a certain rack and it automatically gets better? I knew a manufacture that was making racks with custom made ... | |
| Why buy older digital gear? Well prices have gone way way up since this topic was started 8 years ago. I was just thinking about (ultra high prices) as I was scanning the CD players in Stereophile's 2011 Buyers Guide. My digital front end is aging and it may not last much lo... | |
