Contact Cleaner Recommendations??
Bought some of the Kontak cleaner and it works as others here have described it. Pretty surprising how dirty most of my connections were. It's been a while since I've cleaned them. I would describe the difference as noticeable and very much worthw... 
Ribbon speakers
Several others not mentioned already include the LSA 1 statement, Salk HT 1, Legacy Studio HD (as well as the mentioned Victoria LE). JM Reynaud makes a ribbon monitor that I heard at a show once that was really nice but I don't remember the model... 
NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??
This thread should be deleted. Though there has been some very good technical information presented here, both sides have behaved incredibly poorly. A man with as many years of experience as Simply Q had to know what type of reaction was going to ... 
NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??
Pat, who in these threads that quotes people don't you want to be reminded of? ;) For what it is worth, I've heard Pat's system and it is not about to go up in flames and his cords are not holding it back. I have thought long and hard about trying... 
Why not horns?
Marty, my comments were not addressing your post, but thanks for the follow up. What you say makes sense and may help explain issues that some have with horns. Macro, thanks for keeping an open mind about my personal experience. I, like many other...

There is this device called a, "SUB-WOOFER"It is an amazing addition, and improves the sound in moreways than you would expect.Properly implemented, not ONLY is the "3d effect" THERE!do what they where made to do.The Bass, is NO LONGER an issue.Th... 
Why not horns?
I do not have extensive experience with horns, but I do have some. I had heard several sets of horns and found them to be ok, but not great. The last three years I have gone to the Audiokarma show in Detroit and listened to every speaker I could. ... 
Salk Speakers - Opinions & Advice?
I was also in the Salk room probably a half dozen times, but never got to hear the Songtowers. I thought the HT2 TL's sounded very, very good and was not put off by any brightness from them. They are also more expensive than the other speakers you... 
Salk Speakers - Opinions & Advice?
Hello, I was at AK Fest over the weekend also. My impression of the D1's matches those of others already listed. I intended to ask Ty how many hours they had on them and never did. If they were not broken in it could explain the forward upper mids... 
Legacy Classic HD
I own a pair of the Classic HD's and have owned many Legacy products over the years. As with most speakers, they require some work in placement to get the bass right on them as well as some room treatment. Neutrality is a hard thing for me to comm... 
Full Range Speaker That Can Play Near Boundaries
A used pair of Legacy Whispers if you can find them will do exactly what you want. They are designed to specifically minimize interaction with the room and can be placed near corners. Open baffle compound dipole bass with included processor to adj... 
help with speakers that rock, pleeze
Another vote for the Legacy Focus 20/20. 
Best speakers for home theater/voice clarity?
I am not familiar with either the PS3 or the Direct DVR. Do they have digital outputs? If so, are you using the digital or a set of analog outputs? If you are using digital outputs, are they configured to have the digital outputs in 2.0? Are you g... 
Speakers and glue......
I believe both Green Mountain Audio and Mark and Daniel both make speakers of a cast composite material (no wood). I have not heard either, but both have been well reviewed here and elsewhere. They are also reasonably priced and would seem to be a... 
Anyone here tweak any Legacy Focus speakers?
I have previously owned a pair of the pre 20/20 Focus and had no trouble getting bass extension well into the low 20's in my room. I thought their spec extension of 16 hz was optimistic but never found the bass extension lacking below 30 hz. I hav...
