Revel F30, Dyn 1.8/3.0, V.A. Beethoven?
I have heard the Dynaudio and the Revel. My opinion is the Revel Performa line is underrated. Nice robust vocals and big image. Suprising open sound considering their rather wide front profile. I heard the Dynaudio's on several occasions and they ... 
Improving imaging
I have noticed when upgrading my modest system images became more distant. Deeper soundstage, laid back sound. When you see these words used to describe many expensive components, it means small image. The further the stage the smaller the image, ... 
Worst speakers at Stereophile show
Which is pretty much the latest incarnation of the VSM. 
Trelja in New York
I have a question about the rooms at the CES. Yes at times they were obviously crowded and sometimes noisy (sometimes not). The rooms are average size hotel rooms. Most of the rooms in my home are less ideal than these typical rooms at the Hilton.... 
Trelja in New York
This is NEW YORK. Tell it like it is. Enough with the sensitivity training. Unfortunatly I did not have enough time to see every room but I thought the Legend stuff was stand out. I looked forward to hearing the Audio Physic demo. Heard the Virgo ... 
TUBE....Starting with Power or Preamp ?

Drewfidelity-I am very interested in opinions of ProAc, Audio Physic, Harmonic Tech, and biwiring. You seem to have a fair amount of experience with all. Only problem is I cannot understand what you are talking about! Does "up purchasing" mean "gi... 
MIT bashed, not Transparent, why?
MIT is bashed because they are top dog. Most people who post here seem to want to "discover" the cable made by the one man company in the mountains that performs better than MIT for one tenth the price. Those people will be changing cables again i... 
SACD player is not that great.
How do I contact Stan Warren? 
Must -have SACD's
In regard to the Stevie Ray Vaughn SACD's- I think "Texas Flood" sounds better than "Couldn't Stand the Weather". Recording sounds fuller and images are bigger. I also have the CD's and I notice the same thing. As a matter of fact I think the "Tex... 
Spica Angelus-Any comments?
Spica interview: http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0900/spicafever.htm Did you get your Spica's? What do you think? 
MIT Tube Cables and Solid State Amps?
i have experience with the Terminator 2, 330II, and new shotgun. posts have been talking about MIT like they made one cable. the models i have used sound completely different. if you get the 770's maybe you could let me know how they sound compare... 
C J 11a VS 12s does the 12s sound better
Pleas explain to me "bridged to mono". I thought the 12's were basically two 11's in mono. When you biamp do you mean for highs and lows?
