Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IVa
All kidding aside, I owned the 5's for 4 years. As monitors they are fantastic. For rock at high spl's they are very good. For jazz, quite good...again, at moderately loud levels. Classical shows up there timbral problems and grainy crossovers. No...

Krell 400Xi integrated amplifier

Please help me on a speaker selection
Speakers don't play by themselves...everything matters in the chain and none of the pieces need be super expensive!! 
Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables
Use your ears...try some silver vs copper comparisons. Copper will probably sound more musical. Violins are made of wood because wood sounds better than other materials. Right material for the job. By the way, most people make subjective, emotiona...
