| Why I sold my Magnepan .7's rankaudio, there is only so much that can be done to focus a panel speaker. It will always retain the characteristic splayed soundstage and center image. It will not replicate the wave launch of a dynamic speaker. You can get some more focusing of... | |
| Why I sold my Magnepan .7's "I find it very difficult to believe" A set of cables can typically influence a system as much as a component change. It is fairly easy to have a system get cleaned up in terms of resolution by switching out a brand of cables. There are striking... | |
| What are in these Bose speakers anyways What is in a Bose speaker? A bunch of spiders. Seriously! | |
| System psychology, or just psyched out? The thread rises, back from the dead 14 years later, and still as inconsequential a question. :( | |

| Wilson Audio Sabrina X Reviewed ! WOW As the speaker discussed here is unattainable to the vast majority of hobbyists, truly a 1% product when the entirety of the system is considered, I offer an alternative for those in a different socioeconomic strata. Feel free to read my review of... | |
| Amp for the Warefdale Evo I recently acquired a second hand set of Wharfedale Opus 2-M2 Bookshelf speakers that I very much enjoy. Noting that the Evo uses a similar, but smaller, soft dome midrange, I would have some confidence recommending the superb Legacy i.V2 (which I... | |
| Sonus Faber surprise emiliop, yes, of course you are getting adjsted to their sound. Speakers do not appreciably change their sound with use. We adapt to their performance. As you get used ot their sound the acoustic memory of the other will fade and you will increasi... | |
| Sonus Faber surprise Have some fun with it and learn something in the process by conducting my Imbalanced System Test. Only run 1 speaker for 100 hours as though breaking it in again. Then, play them both. Suppposedly because the one is not broken in the sound should ... | |
| Interesting observations Not surprised the handshake issue was the cable. Every so often I have an incompatibility issue with signal integrity with any given cable. I have not been able to absolutely isolate it to one cable. There is simply a possiblty that with any given... | |
