| Listening out of the Sweet Spot - What Works? "Thin"? Yes, I guess you could describe it that wayI did say "thin", didn't I? I meant to say it sounds lightweight. My connection with music has at least as much to do with physically feeling the weight and heft of the music as it does with heari... | |
| Listening out of the Sweet Spot - What Works? Marco,Yes, that's exactly it, and this is precisely the reason we moved from SET to SS.

| Von Schweikert DB99 vs Consonance M15-thoughts? forgot this in my postDon't worry, it could happen to anyone. But twice? | |
| Von Schweikert DB99 vs Consonance M15-thoughts? The few photos I've seen make the back of the M15 look like it is shaped for a corner. Are they designed for corner placement only, or can they be out in the room? | |
| PAD Venustas I really like the sound characteristics of the Au24...ultra smooth midrange, esp for female vocals, relaxed, smooth presentation, treble without etch or glare, wide soundstage, etc.I would say a couple of things. I've found with two components tha... | |
