Where to buy Metrum Octave?
I finally received my unit at the end of September - about 6 weeks after the order was placed. Again I was too busy with work to write about it - I gotta change jobs or something.It's got about 20 hours burn-in time. I'm impressed with how much mo...

Help me make sense of what I'm hearing
Of all the reviews I've read, the Modwright seems to fit most of my criteria of being dynamic, deep, with good midrange, as well as being within my price range and having a remote.Can anyone comment on whether it does metal decently? Or is it a ma...
