| To monoblock or not to monoblock McIntosh MC275's almargAs a point of information, when the MC275 is operated in mono mode it is not bridged.

| Wilson Audio Haters shadorneWith small 8" woofers obviously you need a subwoofer.Not necessarily. The Infinity RS1-B speaker system used 8-inch woofers, and it surely didn't need a subwoofer. To be fair, it did use six of them per side. | |

| Boulder monoblock 2150 bdp24One reason very wealthy people rarely have a high-end system may be that they aren’t as passionate about music as are weI think that's unlikely. The truth is that very few people are into high-end audio, regardless of wealth. It's a niche. | |
| Wilson Audio Haters dlcockrumSingle mike recording is not the same thing as monophonic playback, which blends the lateral information into a single source of sound.One microphone captures the spatial information (distances from the microphone) most accurately if... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters dlcockrum... single mike recordings usually giving the best illusion of accurate spatial imaging of the actual performanceHow can you capture depth with just a single microphone? Do you actually think monophonic recordings have better "spatial ... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters bo1972I think it is time for Wilson Audio to create a new and better look. You see this as negative, but it is not.In Europe there are many people who think they are ugly. Perhaps. Obviously, Wilson customers don't agree with you or those "many p... | |
