| Why low sensitivity speakers? I found an article once, can't find it now. It said a high efficiency speaker CANNOT produce deep bass. Eg: Horns. | |

| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Tom nice - what are Neuance shelves made from? I did a search and can't find any info on them.My preference has been for brass or those ceramic like foot sanding stones. I prefer a cleaner sound. Sorbothane seemed to muddy up the sound which I did... | |

| Audio as a hobby Thanks, jla and nrchy. | |
| What is the worst recorded CD you have? genesis. | |
| Best sounding CD player for 6,000. Meridian 588 is pretty good. Can be a little bright on somespeakers but should be good with M-L's. | |
| Speaking of Joseph Audio Pearls You could try ATC active 100's they are 15K and include amps for each driver and external crossover. Also Talon makes some highly regarded speakers but I have not heard them.I sort of doubt other speakers you mention would be a significant upgrade... |
