When people enter our home they think I'm a guitar enthusiast because they see them mounted on very realistic looking guitar stands! From the front the stands appear to... | |
| A speaker that looks like a driver or a driver that looks like a speaker? I would find it fascinating to review. It's a heavy brute, so it would be problematic getting it downstairs into my listening room; probably a deal breaker for that reason. :(I do not mind looking at, listening to unusual products. Heaven knows th... | |

| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is ptss, if I were spending that kind of money on speakers I would be the one making the decision which wire was used internally, not the manufacturer.

I would opt for the larger floor standing speaker, if possible. The driver configuration is much different and t... | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. Roxy54, perhaps you are thinking of Doug Schneider of Soundstage.com. I am Doug Schroeder of Dagogo.com. He did the review of the Harbeth 30. I have done no Harbeth reviews. Our identities are confused by others fairly often. | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. Nostalgia costs, big time. | |
| Looking to build a system for under $5k It seems that once again I offer the road less traveled in my advice. Hear at least three different genres of systems, i.e. dynamic or hybrid dynamic speakers, panel speakers, and higher efficiency speakers with lower powered amps. The components ... | |
