It's not an inexpensive DAC but for money spe... | |

And My Speakers Sound Great I have my Maggie's. 7's four feet from wall eight feet apart and eleven feet from listening position and intergarated with one SVS Ultra 13 Sub and I only have room for one sub.

| What other hobby... You think audio can be expensive Track days in my old Porsche 944 Turbo SBut I love it!!!!! | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? I have Maggie's 8 feet apart, 4 feet out from the wall and 11 feet from my listening position.

| Why are there so many wooden speakers? One pair of spearkers that I own is the Definitive Technology Mythos ST's with the built in poweredSub woofers The cabinet is made from cast aluminum and with a marble base. Very elegant looking and definitely passes the knuckle wrap test.......ouch! | |

| Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine I've seen DK live and she is definitely the real deal!! I think her best yet is "Turn up the Quiet" On a lot of the songs you can can hear her voice break like she's lost her voice. All part of the performance and I love it, manipulation or not.Ha... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Because of the ceiling hight, are Magnepans not a consideration? | |
| What do/did you do for a living? Picked strawberries for 25 cents a basket at thirteen, picked tobacco (good money) at age fifteen After High school worked at a steel mill for six years, went out west and worked at a sawmill on Vancouver Island for two years and still have all m... | |
| Who, do you think, designs the best looking tube-based devices? I'm pretty happy with the understated, but elegant design of my VAC PA 80 80 that I've owned since the mid nineties |
