| What seperates "hi-fi" from "mid-fi" in cdp's? Ncarv - I'm guessing you must have been joking cause that just ain't so. You yourself have an excellent example of a fine CD player in your own system that can be had for a very reasonable price on the used market (as can many others), and yet can... | |

| What is the best tube amp for Klipsch Cornwall spk You can still purchase some drivers for the Cornwalls directly from Klipsch though they may have changed from the vintage versions (thus you may be forced to purchase a pair of them if only one of yours is bad). I purchased a passive radiator for ... | |
