| Which Firewall cable If you were feeding a DAC with a Firewire cable, there might be some value in exploring better cables. But From an external drive to the computer, I would use a basic, inexpensive cable only. I don't believe there is any sonic benefit to be gained... | |
| Revel Performa 3 Any of you who have auditioned both the F206 and F208 have observations regarding their sonic differences? All things equal, I'd prefer the 206 not for its lower price but for its smaller size. And if anyone has compared these Revels with the KEF ... | |
| Sloppy but Famous Contest If you're NOT occasionally messing up, you're not playing very hard. Clapton may be the exception. | |

| KEF LS50 Need Help I'll add Harbeth to that list if you can find a used SHL5, Monitor 30 or C7 in your budget. These are standmounts and may not give you the bass your Klipsch do, but Harbeth is definitely rich and soulful. If you haven't heard them, make a point of... | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help I think that for what you are looking for, you should go in a different direction from KEF. Perhaps a PSB or Paradigm floorstander in your price range, which will get you more low end. They may or may not deliver the "rich and soulful" quality you... | |
