Jorsan,She knows good sound... that's the problem! My wife says that I have created a monster. Being a classical voice major, she is very much into good sound and has a very good ear. Fortunately, the small setup described above really does sound ...

Unfortunately, the Wadia 151 does not have a headphone jack. She does have a set of good cans that she uses when she practices on her piano (Kawai MP10). But like me, she is not terribly fond of listening to music through headphones.While I find t...

Room Treatments - How?
