| Cable confusion Houndog1, I dont think you are confused at all. You have stayed away from the crazy audio world so you still have your sanity and common sense intact. Thus the nasty shock when suddenly exposed to the insanity for the first time. Few doubt that c... | |
| Will a Wilson Maxx be possible in a small room "Justin, I am amazed that you can get "excellent" results in a room "half the size?" From my experience, speakers of this size need oodles of room, to breathe, for "excellent" results. IMHO"Hi Warrenh,Yes, I get excellent sound in my 12 x 15 room ... | |

With cone/box speakers, as yo... | |
| The most placement forgiving planar speaker? Teajay,I completely agree with you: the Maggies are great speakers and great bargains to boot. Oh, I almost forgot, they are also easy loads for amplifiers.I do have a few reservations about them. Their electromagnetic midrange is not quite as fas... | |
| The most placement forgiving planar speaker? Hi DrKen,Albert was right on the money about the Soundlabs. I had the pleasure of hearing them in his house twice and they imaged amazingly well. If you can't afford their price tag, however, I would go for the Martin Logans. Their curved pannels ... | |
| OCOS speaker cable by Sumiko Just a small correction. The OCOS, a coaxial cable, is actually a transmission line (normally intended for video or digital signals in the MHz range). The red adaptor is just that, an adaptor from coaxial to regular speaker-wire termination. Being... | |
| OCOS speaker cable by Sumiko I have used the OCOS in my system with great success. I use a pair of Watts & Puppies with a pair of BAT VK-60 or the new (fantastic) Analog-Research Technology digital switching amp, a ruthlessly revealing amp. In both cases, as it is the cas... |
