lumin direct to "main in" section on Yamahas/Luxmans/Accuphase?

A different perspective on crossover design... WB builds their drivers to have inherent output rolloff characteristics in order to minimize required crossover components. The requirement of only a single capacitor for the tweeter crossover and run... 
Warning for Revel lovers

Many audio stores allow in home auditions of their demo gear, both used and new. While it may be only extended to existing customers with an established relationship, some allow it for any serious buyer with a credit card used for security. Many s...

Vana Ltd. is no longer the US distributor for Audio Physic speakers. According the the AP website it shows: "USA - We are looking for a new distribution in this area" but then under Canada und USA they list Tri-Cell Enterprises Inc.  
Luxman Preamps
