| Borresen Loudspeakers Very typical marketing campaign. The highest end of the range speakers perform well for a few hundred thousand dollars and then the lower end is marketed heavily as eye Candy. The diameter of the base drivers is too small and already bass range a... | |
| Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing? @mulveling Amazing looking system you have and that alpine height turntable is really cool. I was thinking about Vac a while back. But incorporating it into the home theatre environment didn’t seem right. For biamping I am trying tubes and soli... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers So you need a gizmo to make the speakers sound respectable. Why would they be using gizmos when they showcasing speakers that's a big red flag | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers So Jay is the key is the new marketer of this new speaker. The speakers are nice looking but I'm family to understand why they are so good. They are very thin the drivers are very small and they make up for this by adding a couple drivers. That's ... | |

| Why don't they record in ‘surround stereo’? @dean_palmer That's nice you can listen to stereo and surroundsound and it sounds good. I'm not a big fan of two channel through an AVR. Although maybe it's good for certain AVRs. | |
