Near field speaker setup
My office, small bookshelf B&W with a sub in the middle, equidistant close triangle, direct sound prior to reflections, imaging is terrific. Big music system downstairs, bigger drivers, horns, bigger room, very nice imaging, but not as precise...

Has anyone else auditioned something that really was terrible?
McIntosh Amp at a high end dealership.I wanted to hear a pair of well regarded speakers, low sensitivity, at one of the most respected NJ dealers. I took some music with me, one being Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, a lot to deal with, and one spe...

I Need Some Opinions...

TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm?
