| Cables more hype than value? The most important thing is that I sell most of the time 3 dimensional systems. It is very easy to learn people the difference between 2 and 3-dimensional image. I even use the stores of competitors. I send them to listen to particular amps, sourc... | |

| Cables more hype than value? Cabels like 352 with a little silver many times causes problems with the high freq. Always choose for pure copper in these price ranges. Focus of instruments and voices is less sharp than Audioquest or Kimber. The more expensive cables are no matc... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Vdhul? Are you kidding me. I am from Holland and I sold it for many years. I also did test them. There are enough better brands. VdHul is a very nice and funny person. There was a big audio show every year. Then he was waiting for me and wanted to... | |

| Room size & choosing speakers The problem of the DB1 is that is has 2 bass units. This means it Always influence your room more. Go for a sealed subwoofer with the bass unit in front. These days I use these days in a a-b demo with sub's with 2 bass units to show my clients why... | |

They are the only one in this pricerange who use crossovers which can make a deep and wide image like only the best highend speakers can. 2nd they use thicker and more heavy cabinets than there competitors... | |

No clients who still prefer Rel.Rel is often not syngron with the speakers. In the past I sold a lot Rel. I never found Rel good... | |
| How are AVRs for 2-channel music these days? Last week we traded in a Pioneer LX83. What a poor amp. The class d amp gives a full flat 2-dimensional image. 2nd it gave a harsh sound with a lot of ssss. And 3th what a clinical sound. Most people are not aware which brands can give a 3-dimensi... | |
| Room size & choosing speakers Try listening to the Monitor Audio Pl-100 and the PLW-15. I Always have the best results with sub's wenn they are closed and only have one speakerunit in front. With downfiring the stealth integration I have is not possible. I use the Pl-200, whic... | |
| Pass X350.5 Heat Output Magnepan will play better with the X.5 series. This has to do with the demand of your speakers. | |
| Pass X350.5 Heat Output The X350.5 will have more drive and speed. I would go for the X350.5. I owned the XA100.5 for 2 years. I still has a lot of drive. It has a more musical sound and a more touchable image. But the 350.5 has more drive and speed. I play with the X250... |
