RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss
thanks for the correction Linkster. The Lansche speaker I liked was the Lansche 7.0 - some 7' tall. Even tho' the Lansche 5.1 would be smaller, it should be a great listen....

Pass Labs Vfet amps
Anyone else hear them or understand why they're so special??VFETs are also called Static Induction Transistors (SIT) & their I-V characteristics resemble that of a triode. VFETs/SITs basically behave like a voltage-controlled variable resistor...
