| Anyone heard Blue Circle Penny's? I heard them extensively at the RMAF last October. The final version has been tweaked after testing at the Canadian research facility and will be coming out soon. The next show opportunity to hear them will be at the AK fest in May (production ver... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Of course I'm biased, but the Blue Circle gear is exceptional, and a great value given how it's made and how it performs. There's a brand new 150 watt integrated coming out, my guess is it would drive any Ohm speaker beautifully.I'm actually an om... | |

Most of the British speakers share this characteristic, including some Spendor's I owned years ago. Vandersteens also s... | |
| USB drive vs NAS for storage/streaming/back-up Good suggestions. Ordered the power cord. As another sonos user with the mod, do you know if they plan on supporting 24/96 in the future? Or improve the software for managing large collections, allow metadata, etc. The basic sonos platform has gre... | |
| USB drive vs NAS for storage/streaming/back-up Thsalmon: Thanks. I'll investigate NAS units. Need something quiet and cool running that can be in the listening area. As I have a USB drive, don't really need RAID. I'm also running wired and wireless with the Sonos. | |
