| watt puppy 7 / sophia? To Kharma PoliceI have to agree with you on your WP vs Maxx assesement, If you add a really good subwoofer to the WP the diffferences grow quite small. Obviouly the taller speaker will have a bigger soundstage.Please don't think that I am anti WP ... | |
| Who can repair my CAL Tempest II Special Edition ? Your best choice is to upgrade to something newer, I woundn't put money into such an old and discountinued piece.There are numerous relatively inexpensive front end out there. The Cayin CD 17t is remarkably well made and it uses tubes. | |
