Audiofeil,You're dangerously close to being taken off my Christmas Card List.Larry 
two 10's or one larger subwoofer?
I recently designed a dedicate Home Theater for a friend. Using 'Golden Ratios' and good room construction...trying to do everything correctly.When it came time to chose the sub(s), I chose 2 JL's.There's a 'balance' that I hear when two subs are ... 
Miles Davis Newbe Question
And, of course try Clifford Brown.His works with Cannonball and that group were magnificent and set a standard not equaled in some respects.Larry 
Speaker cables for Merlin Speakers
I would seek out Bobby's recommendations for this. I'm sure he could tell you what he used when 'voicing' the speakers.To me, this information would be invaluable.Larry 
mbl - is there a problem?
We're talking apples and armadillos here.Though wonderful speakers, Omni's and Bipolar and Dipoles are different in their presentations.Which one sounds more real is such a perspective...such a personal call.I've heard the Maggies when set up corr... 
Not supposed to work but does anyway...
Seems that this would be mid range only, which can be pleasant short term.I get it.The EQ on the Bose was a full range EQ, for those not knowing about them...those 4.5" drivers, left to their own device, wouldn't play bass OR treble.In some ways, ... 
mbl - is there a problem?
You know...without wanting to become embroiled in sophomoric nonsense....a few years ago we had this kind of contentious attitude and posts...it became tiresome, so I went away.We all have different opinions. Why is that a formula for something be... 
mbl - is there a problem?
Echoing Marty's words--the MBL's have that holographic presentation when set up correctly, sounding, to my ears, like real music...Larry 
mbl - is there a problem?
Onhwy61,I have NO difficulty believing that someone heard MBL's not sounding great.Personally, I've heard them not sound great.I think the issue was, that the inference was that these are 'flawed designs'...that being the case, they cannot sound g... 
mbl - is there a problem?
String,Anyone making fun of Vandy5's has no idea what he or she is talking about.They are excellent, excellent speakers.I've heard the MBL's sound less than stellar but they never sound 'design flawed' which is kinda the description of what you he... 
mbl - is there a problem?
Perfect response Mapman.Any audiophile worth his/her salt knows that the act of 'just moving' a system creates a different sound than the system had 'before' the move. Further, that it takes a while for things to settle in, so that the sound is ba...

Synopsis...MBL Problem?No...Buy with confidence...International distribution works.Larry 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
After having experienced the Qol, AND reading reviews...I'm excited.This is/could be, the straw that stirs the drink for music reproduction.After all the bullshit, the Bose, the Polk SDA, the stuff we audiophiles are trying to forget...we come acr... 
Are the JL Fathom subs really that good....
Johnnyb53,Well said...well said.These things are pure magic, yes?Larry 
mbl - is there a problem?
MBL...and it's products do NOT sound Hi-Fi...with all due respect, anyone hearing this is not hearing these products set up with any semblance of normalcy.These are the standard bearers in the industry.One can only wonder what's up when we read po...
