| What's your dream speaker? something full-range, neutral, with lab-grade stereophonic imaging/depth no matter where one sit or stood in the listening space. | |

| A full range speaker? flat from 16 cycles [lower limit of 32' pipes on an organ] to beyond audibility [over 20k cycles]. bass that doesn't go down that far and that loudly is not going to properly reproduce the full scale of a large pipe organ or even a large symphony ... | |

| Class A amplifiers a simple question from a simple man- how MUCH clearly audible difference, is in the sound quality of an SET, versus any other class-A amp? what are those who use high-efficiency speakers in smallish rooms hearing in an SET that they can't get from... | |
| What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks in short, if a proposed new system can make both "Brothers in Arms" [metallic-sounding even on the best systems] and "The Forward Look" (K.O.J.’s reference-quality live stereo recording of Red Norvo in 1957) sound close enough in terms of being ab... |
