Used Processor for Cheap as Dirt Magnepan Theatre

Are Bang and Olufsen turntables any good?
For your situation as described, I wouldn't worry too much about the debate.As for B&O damaging records, that was clearly a criticism and rumour started by a DEALER who did not carry the line.The really good news - regardless of higher or lowe...

The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt
I would think the biggest problem installing/recommending the Behringer is you can't make as much money selling them.Mine still sound great and work perfectly. 
The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt
It seems like the trusty Behringers are still the reference standard for the price of dirt.For those of you who try to pay your bills by selling Ongaku amps, I will concede that one of my "monoblocks" has a noisy volume control after two years of ...
