Have you ever collected on insurance????
Over the years, I have had two items damaged in shipment, both were speakers; one pair was shipped by UPS, the other was shipped by Fed Ex. The damage was cosmetic in both cases (corners dented no doubt from dropping a box on end). I had purchased... 
Talon Khorus - Anyone have the X upgrade done?
Hi Mike.I had X-model crossovers installed in my pre-X Khorus last year. I personally drove the speakers to the Talon factory in Utah. When I arrived, the folks there dropped everything they were doing to work on my speakers. I also got to meet Ta... 
Reviewing the Reviewers

Good question Macm -- some of these posts read more like diatribes than objective reviews. Generally, I like to hear what other people think, even if I don't always agree with what they say. But any time someone completely trashes a product after ... 
CD Recommendations
Here are a couple of gems I haven't seen recommended before: Jai Uttal "Footprints" and John Huling's "Spiritlands - Musical Visions from the Southwest". If you want something a little more funky -- kind of new age goes inner city -- try Patrick O...

Scott Walker "Scott"; finally found it in a used book store after nearly 10 years of searching. Anybody know if this album is available on CD?

Musicality" in a system? What IS that ?
"That word 'musicality' is not a familiar word. It is a feeling for what is beautiful, for what is right."A quote attributed to Albert Einstein (as recounted by physicist John Wheeler) concerning his remark that Niels "Bohr had the highest form of...
