| Integrated for Legacy Audio Focus SE's As a prior and very happy owner of a pair of Focus SE's, I can tell you that the only way to really wake the bass up is to feed these speakers with alot of power. A 250 watt/side class A/B did it for me. As to what Integrated might fill this bi... | |

| HiDiamond Speaker Cables Ozzy,I have a pair of D8's (shotgun) and compared them off other SC's up to $12K. What finally sold me were:- accurate tonality- ability to represent crystal highs but w/o any edge- low Bass, tight - accurate- reasonable cost.In the end, for the a... | |
| bi-wire vs jumpers Neither - shotgun is the absolute best way to go. It's not cheap, which is why it's not talked about alot but, if you have a system worthy - it will pay it's dividends.Talk is cheap - I actually have done this on several systems, including my curr... | |
| Modwright KWA 100SE vs Modwright KWA 150 Hi,I looked into this myself awhile back and contacted Dan. He stated w/o hesitation that the KWA 150 is a better beastie. As a KWA 150 (now SE) owner, I can confirm this amp is the best I've owned/heard to date.You will note many sonic aspects of... | |

| Anyone listened to PSB Synchrony Ones? Drubin,it's been almost a year since I last heard the PSB SO's so take this with a grain but, I recall them both as sounding similar except for more airy and wider off axis dispersion of the S6 V2's. These pure-beryllium dome tweeters provide a so... | |
| Anyone listened to PSB Synchrony Ones? I listened to these last year, in the local retail outlet twice, in different rooms and with different store gear. They sounded excellent with top flight definition, separation, no listening fatigue and easy on the eyes.I also managed to get them ... | |
| Infinity Renaissance 90 questions Hail new R90 owner. You've got yourself one of the finest speakers of its day and, dare I say, a real challenger for many current ones. At the price you paid, you certainly can't touch the R90's for 4 times todays prices.I have the Black Ash fini... |
