| Bad recordings and high end audio OP, I like many people here believe in at least two systems. I like folk music. I have many cassette tapes of original recordings that are of poor quality. (Many of these tapes were recorded by old hippies who never even considered the historic va... | |

| What is wrong with my system? onehorsepony; What made you purchase the B&W speakers that you have? THIS I think is question number one! Did you hear them some where and did you fall in love with what you heard? Or did you buy because you read a review? This question has to... | |
