| is audiogon good for the audio industry or bad? Viridian and Jea48 have hit the nail on the head. While it's a free market, if a large percentage of equipment purchases were of used products instead of new, it could be impossible for many high end companies (manufacturers, distributors, and dea... | |

| Wilson Alexandria V2 Thanks for the clarification, Dgad. Blowing resistors due to overdriving is a very small consideration for most people, I think, unless the speakers don't perform well at low and moderate volumes. The much larger considerations are the sound and d... | |
| Wilson Alexandria V2 Scousepasty, it's interesting that you mention the last part. A couple of years ago Sound Lab demonstrated a pair of 5-wide arrays of ProStat 922s, each array set up in a continuous arc at each side of the stage in the 21,000 seat LDS Conference C... | |

| Most agreed upon best speaker? Tvad: I got it too but wasn't drunk. Disorderly crossovers? Sorry, Pedrillo, but you should have expected this :) | |
| Has anyone used Parasound JC1 with Dali Megaline s Yes, one of my clients uses two pairs of JC 1s with his Megalines to good effect. | |
| SME 30 / 12 pre-release details. The new Series V-12 arm will not be available with a detachable headshell as this role is taken by the 312S tonearm.They could learn from others who know to run the headshell leads out of the arm to the cartridge and which run continuous to the en... | |
