| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music If you liked the 20.1 Maggies you should try hard to audition Soundlabs; they can create a tremendous soundstage; depending on the model they can produce a significant to a large amount of low end plus outstanding midrange and highs with a ton of ... | |
| ARC = What are the Golden Amps My favorite vintage amp from ARC would be a D150, but that's the 70s. If you want something that sounds very good and has a lot of power and that fits in your price range, try a VT200MkI (the original, not the II). It has everything: deep, tight l... | |

| Experience bringing older gear up to date ARC, CJ If you liked a D-76A or a SP-8 when they were new but you then change parts - even to "upgrade" to parts that are supposedly superior in some respect you might find that the sound that you liked with the original product is no longer what you will... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame Not doubt there are others that also belong in the Hall of Fame but these designers would pretty much have to be charter members; if this were the NFL, they would be first ballot inductees in their first year of elibility.William Z. Johnson, Henry... | |
