You obviously need the Ferguson Hill Horn speakers.

flat4, thank you for your extended discussion. It's nice to have further confirmation that Schroeder Method was agreeable to your Crown Class D amp. These are important data points to address the initial concern that was voiced to me regarding use...

Merely swapping the position of a couple of Schroeder Method RCA ICs makes for interesting system building. Moving the double interconnects around the system alters the sonic signature significantly. You may think you have the positioning optimal,... 
Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen
No reason to be ashamed for your impressions. You pick the speaker you like, period. If I read you right, I think your wallet is crying.  ;) I can appreciate what you are saying about the panel sound. I enjoy panels and dynamic speakers, but they ... 
Magnepan Sweet Spot
mijostyn, wrong. You seem to have the classic knee-jerk reaction that Maggie fans have when any criticism of the sound characteristics are mentioned. You will note that I have used and own a panel speaker, so I hardly consider their sound quality ...

Magnepans are incapable of creating the phenomena of the more localized phantom image, the illusion that the central part of the performance is as "solid" as the L/R channels. I reviewed the .7 for Dagogo.comHaving owned Maggie MMG and 1.6QR, as w... 
Does your system hate you when you ignore her?
Audio systems do not change because they have not been turned on in three weeks. They do not need, or alter their performance due to "rest". I suggest that you are the inconsistent variable. I also suggest that if upon listening to your system at ... 
DAC plus Preamp or DAC-Preamp or DAC-Volume Control ?
david_ten,  as an aside, I noticed you have the SGC and SONORE Sig. Rendu combo. If you haven't already, I strongly suggest you upgrade to the systemOptique version of Signature Rendu. The conversion from Ethernet to optical connection to the Rend... 
ethernet from a power outlet
russellrcncom,  I have been using USB cables from Audioquest following my USB cable survey for Dagogo.com. I went with the middle of the line (red colored) USB and have been pleased with it. The top of the line was somewhat better, but I had to al...

maplegrovemusic, yes, from what I have seen as well the results are universally positive. A patent application for Schroeder Method has been submitted. I believe the reason why it was never brought to market is because it flies in the face of theo... 
Matching Gear matter to you?
One brand systems outperform, unless they don't.

steakster, congratulations on your improvement! I had tried SPDIF cables in Schroeder Method fairly soon after discovering it, and found that it is highly efficacious for DACs. I also tried it with AES/EBU and it worked equally as well. One of the... 
Something I made :)
How big is it? What does it run off of, typical outlet, battery, etc? Is that a glass orb reflecting LEDs? What would MSRP be, approximately? Would the lights be flickering and the spinning/motion be substantially different with slower music? I am... 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
Thanks for the reminder, as there is a component I need to roll fuses. Already did some powerful tuning and that will be icing on the cake. 
Is integrated the future for 2 channel audiophiles?
Is the Integrated the future for two channel? Sort of. Well, yes. Maybe. No. That should cover most of the options regarding answers.  :)
