flat speaker quandary
Nick, I think Audiokinesis and Onhwy61 may have hit on something. Others also hit on a few issues. I own older Maggies and full range stats. I have also heard the SL3 but not in my house. The first time I heard the SL3 was with a Evo power amp. I ...

Mono block install question
I run my pre into the Marchand and then turn off the crossover in my sub. I let the marchand do all the work. 
anyone heard of Luxman amp.pls help
Luxman made some really nice amps back in the 70 and early 80's. Tube and transistor. I think they were underrated at the time. I don't remember the models. They sounded better than the Yamahas. I don't know how they compared to Accuphase. They we...
