This is a very impressive company that does all its own R&D and manufacturing in Sweden - highly regarde... | |
| Outriggers: Soundocity only game in town? they are really sweet - I wouldn't be without them - had them on a pair of Merlin VSMs and now on my hotrodded Meadowlark Kestrel HotRodsTighten the bass for sure. But also the speaker is just a lot more stable on carpet - as in less prone to bein... | |

| Connector Suggestions First I would drop Michael a line - he is a very friendly and helpful person though I understand that at this point he has "retired" from the biz.The basic rule of thumb is to use the same metal in the plugs as you do in the cable. I suspect that ... | |
