| Why measurements matter! Wow, looks like someone couldn't make up what to say, or they jacked off the mods something bad.Cheers George | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! jerkface OP Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them!So I scored a pair of Belle Klipsch (1987 models, AB crossover). I would have gone for Khorns, but the room they were going in just wasn't going to work.At 104db I think this coul... | |

| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year Like I said they go hand in hand, the measurements/tests keep the reviewers honest, not the other way around. Oh and I like the Aegir, if you search I recommend it quite a lot, especially in bi-amped systems with the Vidar and Sys (to equalize the... | |

| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year On the other hand, if you were to ask a group of hard core audiophiles where the real audio magic lay you would probably get the same answer. That’s your opinion, not all hard core audiophiles that understand measurements and what they do to the s... | |
| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year Yeah sunshine no shit.Obvious anyone who has to ask this has no idea either about amp measurements. All Acoustats have this kind of load, and have similar efficiencies. Looking for good amp to drive Acoustat 22 properly, other than the TNT-200...... | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? those 1, 2, 15 W watt amps are useless. Really,... have a list to these 20w only into 80hm amps, and say that again.https://img.canuckaudiomart.com/uploads/large/2097160-65b80b07-mark-levinson-ml2-class-a-mono-block-... | |
