| Harbeth 40.3 XDs One of the greatest speakers on the planet REGARDLESS of price! Angle them in to cross just behind the listening position & acoustically treat the walls to the sides/front of the cabinets..Give them at least 100wpc...I heard them with the Sim... | |

| Luxman 509z or Aesthetix Mimas I have owned both the Harbeth M30.1 & 30.2Xd & run them both with low powered Class A SS (16wpc.) & Class A Tube (10wpc.) power and the sound was absolutely sublime..Peak decible levels of 90 db.with no compression or distrortion were... | |

| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community Rap is crap & NOT real music.. Electronic is NOT real music,it is sound. #9 is so far removed from fact it lives on Mars.. #5 is true but will NEVER be accepted or acknowledged because of the subconscious justification of those who can simply... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile Actually it was a complete system that did it to me...The original Marantz CD63,a Creek 4040 integrated amplifier and Celestion speakers in 1982 at a dealer in Mill Valley,Cali... Up until then I was blissfully content with my Pioneer receiver,In... | |
