| Tune of the Day I gotta say, ya’ll have better taste in music than all-but-the-best musicians I’ve known! Though many of you may be musicians yourselves. Maybe it’s the refined and developed appreciation for the reproduction of music that leads to such taste. Or ... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters It’s funny that one listener found Wilson speakers to produce an image too high. One thing I have always found lacking in the smaller Wilsons (the WATT/Puppy in particular) in their "knee to waist" image height. I don’t care for the view from the ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? The "common" wisdom is that silver works well with tube electronics, copper with solid state.

It wasn't until I heard the transparency provided by an electrostatic loudspeaker that I realized just how colored, veiled, and opaque cone speakers wer... | |

| Magneplanar Listening Comparison 1.7 vs. 3.7 Speakers Priced just slightly higher than the 1.7i, the Eminent Technology LFT-8b Magnetic Planar speaker ($2499 retail) is not only considerably better than the 1.7i imo, but some feel also better than the 3.7i in some ways. Worth endeavoring to hear. | |
