AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II
The Diablo Utopia has a new generation of drivers specifically engineered for the Utopia III, a new crossover, a different enclosure and stands. In fact, the only thing that that the Diablo and Micro Be's have in common is that they are both 2-way... 
AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II
You may want to check out Focal's new Diablo Utopia from the new Utopia III line. The new generation beryllium tweeter is remarkable. This product should be a contender for the best stand mounted 2-way. 
Songs about ecology
"Don't Go Near the Water" from the Beach Boys' Surf's Up. 
Monitors + sub or Floor standers?
Exactly the situation I found myself in. I went from 16 x 22 to 11 x 14. I bought a pair of Ultimate Monitor's by Audiomachina and later added a subwoofer. Nearfield listening plus detail and imaging in spades. I think a narrow dispersion design (... 
Has anyone lost their best friend?
It hurts beyond words to suffer the loss of a special friend. When you get to heaven your dog will be waiting to welcome you. 
Any new up & coming high end speaker lines?

Top Speakers for Nearfield Listening in Small Room
Wow- this is exactly the situation I found myself in- room is 11 x 14. I own Karl Schuemann's amazing Ultimate Monitors (Audiomachina). Sadly no longer in production and somewhat of a niche product to be sure; they feature a sealed enclosure, firs... 
Monitors similar like Lipinski 505 ??
Ultimate Monitors by AudioMachina.....first order crossovers, D'Appolito MTM driver array, sealed box, stand-mounted. Sadly out of production now but they are truly outstanding and replaced my Eidolon Diamonds (which is not to say they are better,... 
Review: Conrad Johnson CT5 Tube preamp
Anyone care to weigh in as whether I go for a new CT5 or a used ACT2 (now replaced by the ACT2.2) at the same price? Background- in my system I had a chance to listen to a CT5 and thought it was spectacular. Therefore, I think it's reasonable to a... 
Has any one heard Magico Speakers?
Hey Sirspeedy, as one who has also owned Avalons (Eclipse, Eidolon, Eidolon Diamond), I also feel the same way about my new Ultimate Monitors. Like the MM's and the Ascents, they are a sealed box design although I suspect that their cabinet is som... 
speakers similar to Magico Mini's
Well this is an easy one fo me. I have Audiomachina's amazing Ultimate Monitors designed by Dr. Karl Schuemann. It is stand mounted sealed box enclosure with a first order series crossover. (I am not sure if The Magico has a first order crossover ... 
Jethro Tull
Peter, I love the sound of the Jethro Tull Christmas Album insofar as studio recordings issued on CD. A Little Light Music is also my favorite live recording on CD although I am a little biased due to the excellent playing of Dave Pegg. Dave also ... 
Jethro Tull
My good mate Dave Pegg (Fairport Convention) played bass/mandolin on the Crest of a Knave as well as on all live/studio recordings from 1979 until 1996. Jethro Tull is definitely Ian's baby although it was interesting to view glimpses of the band ... 
What early 70's rock bands had violins?
I can't believe no one mentioned Fairport Convention with the great Dave Swarbick on the violin. Check out the Full House and Nine albums first. 
Full range speakers with small footprint?
Acoustic Energy AE3 Reference Mk II. Really phenomenal performance in a truly small floorstander. Cabinet only measures 7.25" x 11" x 39".
