Is it possible to really know what you're doing?
@drmuso  You have an interesting system really like it. There's a lot going on here.  vintage older stuff which is always cool  
Is it possible to really know what you're doing?
Unfortunately, dealers have to pay for the equipment before they can display it and therefore diversity of what they have available is limited.  I have tried so often to pursue components that dealers don’t even have even though they represent the...

What's a good alternative to SF amati g5?
Cannot biamp.  They're not that bad looking.  But would be challenging to sell as used.  I'm looking at higher end tad speakers.
