| Wondering about jumpers.. I do hear a difference with nice jumpers compared to the stock plates that usually come with the speakers. I make cables, and use the same cable for the jumpers as I do the cables. Just it is a 2 conductor instead of a 4 conductor. | |
| Anyone tried Magnepan 1.6's with rock music? I only heard them with about 140 watts, and didn't like the way they sounded with rock. The bass wasn't bad, but to me, they just don't do it with classic rock. And thats the kind of music I listen too most of the time. | |

| Advice on inexpensive CD player I have had good luck with the Philips 963 dvd player. Excellent audio. I really do like the upsampling. | |
| Quad 12L. What amp would be a fair match? I am on my second pair of 12L's. And have been very pleased with both a Unison Unico and a Rogue Tempest. The first pair, about 2 years ago, were driven by both a Creek 4330 and a Rega Mira. While the Creek and Rega were nice, the Unison and Rogue... | |
