I recen... | |
| Why not more popular? Non-box speakers often have qualities that I didn’t think one could find in box speakers eg a certain openness, etc. Non-box speakers:—open baffle dynamics (earliest Dahlquest DQ 10), spatial audio, pure audio project, tri-art etc.—electrostatics ... | |

| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. @Audio2design. " Can you imagine having a product that makes a demonstrable and obvious difference in the sound and never making a demonstration that proves the difference is obvious?
