15 in full range drivers
’full range drivers" It means the driver is run full range without FR limit by crossover or hi/low pass filters.    
Why do we demand so much from our systems?
@emergingsoul   What is your system? The more you hear, the more you hear what is wrong. Maybe tape cassette is a better medium. Plus this isn't 1970. Our modern intercommunicated world is constantly bombarding us with new products. Too many ch...

My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions
@lonemountain I agree about set-up. The active 100’s were set up in the owners house so no problem there. Could it have been the Naim pre-amp? Thinking about this some more, maybe it is the wider front baffles and square box (resonant?). Comparin...
