| Care for Painted Speakers I just take my Sophias to the car wash and ask for double spray wax.--Then I play the sound track from "Waterworld". | |
| Floorstander or Sub/Sat I'm with entrope and his statement re.,not much music below 32. Most what we think of as low info, is in the 40's and 50's. But all speakers don't reproduce it with the same dynamics--Thus making these "numbers" inconclusive. One listening compari... | |

| Do you care about the LOOK??? I read someone's discription of "Wilson Sophia" as being similar in looks to a trash can. After a couple of months I have grown attached to the looks---based on how much they please. Women kinda do that thing,too. | |

| Shootout: CJ Sonographe SA250 vs. Classe CA150 I have never heard either amp but I thought I would mention the amp I use--that being a Belles 150a ref.(RCA's only) Musical does describe this amp. One sold for 1200 last week and I'm quite sure it will clean the clock of either of these 2, you m... | |
