| Line Source Loudspeakers How would you define what constitutes a line source loudspeaker? Is the one of the goals for the sound to be consistent and coherent from top to bottom in many listening positions in the room, and perhaps outside the room? | |
| Suggestions please: Upgrade from Krell KMA 160s Springbok10, I'm not sure where you're reading about issues with JC-1s, as I haven't heard a peep except for a small handful having minor issues such as a front panel light or something. One look under the hood and you'd see what I mean...these th... | |

| Sorry, yet another Hi Mark, I don't know if your JC-1s are broken in, but mine sure are and no lack of slam here... The comments about the preamp tubes sound valid, and proper positioning and spiking of the speakers are essential... If you're looking for more gooseb... | |
