| Question for cable/wire naysayers..... IF that Audioholics article is the basis upon which naysayers base their denials of sonic differences among cables then they are working with a set of arguments based on false premises. The article wildly overstates what audiophiles find as diffe... | |

| Vandersteen 2wq with Mccormack dna .5 OP - Great advice from gdnrbob! He is right about the lower the crossover setting the more bass from the sub and he is also giving you stellar advice about talking to Johnny Rutan. As far as I'm aware few people on the planet know as much about ... | |
