Killer female vocal recordings-show me the light..

The Gold i is a very nice speaker and IMO by far a better speaker than the 100v2.The Golds have a all the virtues of an expensive speaker but what it lacks is a little finesse in its presentation. Overall an excellent value for money. BTW, I have ...

Why Sony watts aren't as good as _____ watts
Jwrobinson, "stiff" was ment to be a word NOT what you were reffering to in the 70's. What I was meaning was that the power supplies in cheaper gear were not "big" enough or will "droop" when a tough load is driven causing the amp to clip.

Any Proac Supertower Owners Out There?

Any Proac Supertower Owners Out There?
