| Speaker audition recommendations? @akg_ca +2Audition, audition, audition.Let your ears be your guide. My approach is to listen to everything and narrow it down to the ones I liked the best. Then, take your amp to the dealer and see if it can work the same magic.Yes, it will take ... | |
| Vandie .7 vs Maggie .7 In my opinion, the Schiit Yggy or Gungnir is comparable to an Ayre Codex. I owned just about all the Schiit DAC's and can honestly say that sound reproduction gets better with each model up. The Bifrost (I had the Multibit) is a great DAC, but com... | |

| How to Hook Up Vandersteen 2W Subwoofer @mr_m I think the OP has the fixed crossovers, but used the wrong model number. | |

| I need some advise on a shipping disaster. I think both Elizabeth and jmc are correct.Though, for me, I would send back the one speaker and let the seller deal with the headache-Of course, you should receive a full refund. Audiogon, too, should be made aware of the issue.B | |
