Pass labs XA60.5 anything wrong with them.
The difference between Audioquest and Transparent is that the speed and blacks are better compared to Transparent. I heard there new cables at a show this year. I did not hear the level in blacks what the Audioquest can do. My new Redwood 2013 is ...

I did test many brands which are not well known in the last 15 years. Most of the time they are not bad at all. But I never heard one what was exceptional good. The biggest difference between Audioquest and other brands are a few important parts. ...

I don't know them. In the US there are many cables which are not even here in Europe.

I sold Klipsch speakers for some years. You can also play very loud with these. But in the world of highend, they are not good enough. Why? Very simple it has to do with there cross over filter. Not a lot of depth. What I said many times depth and...

First choose your personal speakers. And please do not forget B&kW make fine speakers but they lack a deep and wide stage. This is the most exiting part in highend audio. I did not go for the B&W 800D. I wanted to go to the next level for ... 
Why are subwoofers so polarizing?
I do tests just by hearing. The same as the roll of. I can choose between 12, 18, 24, 30 or 36 db per octave. But the speed has to do with the timing in respons. At the show were I was many could not and did not believe that I was using the subwoo... 
Why are subwoofers so polarizing?
Noooooooooooooooooooo...a rel sub is fast in your perspective. Compare the respons of a Rel sub to the respons of a Monitor Audio sub. In this perspective it is slow. I use the Rel sub's to compare. They are slower, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT FACTS. Thi... 
Why are subwoofers so polarizing?
In the past we Always did use the Rel sub's to about 5 hz max more than the freq. respons were of the speakers freq. respons begin's. 3 years ago wenn we started with Audyssey we did start with 80hz. Because Onkyo is a THX receiver they start at 8...

7.1 does not say anything about the quality of speakers, amps etc. Wenn you use an amp which give a 2-dimensional image ( most do) you never will go higher than standard audio. Also wenn I play in Multi channel the stage is superior to all the 2-d... 
Why are subwoofers so polarizing?
A few hours, the owner of the Velodyne had done the room acoustic settings. So I do not know which setting. Also at show's Velodyne did not convince me. I Always do 2 channel testing. The sub needs to be syngron with the frontspeakers. And instrum...

To Be honnest I found the INT models not the best what Pass Labs makes. Wenn instruments and voices become too big in proportion the distance between you and the music is getting bigger. Beause you will loose intimacy. Often at show's people use t... 
Why are subwoofers so polarizing?
It was with 2 DD18 sub's. With there own measurement. The material will Always be the problem of the speed. You cannot change this. For surround Velodyne is fine. For stereo I would not even want it for free. Or even wenn I get money on top to kee... 
Why are subwoofers so polarizing?
The best subwoofers in speed are all closed. 2nd the bassunit needs to be on the front side. They way I use Audyssey Pro this is a pre. With downfiring or side firing I do not get the sharp stealth integration I want. Wenn you heard the level in s... 
Why are subwoofers so polarizing?
This is not about measuring. Instruments and voices are in real very small and direct to point out. Wenn you already have a system what is capable of giving an exeptional sharp individual focus of instruments and voices with the right dimensions. ...
