Best nearfield monitor?
http://www.tnt-audio.com/casse/avalon_mixmon_e.htmlI own the "baby" version and am always blown-away by nearfield resolution and bass extension. I can only imagine what these can do over mine.

REVIEW: Mccormack UDP-1 Deluxe
Alan:I did not mean to upset you and I find you quite defensive. That you said good things or bad things is not the point, I am not affiliated with McCormack nor in love with any of my gear...I find that your comments were interesting since someho... 
Your First System
My first bedroom system when I was 13 was made of bits and pieces found in relatives' attic: An old Pioneer receiver, a Technics manual TT and a pair of beaten 3A from France(same designer Daniel Dehay as the now Reference 3A brand but at his begi...
