| Peachtree Nova in da' House I'm wondering if the Nova's amp delivers enough juice to make the Gallo's happy? | |
| What is the best Beatle Song pretty much whichever one I happen to be listening to at any particular time, save "Revolution 9" I suppose, though I rarely ever listen to that one. | |
| What matters most in speaker design? Shadorne, I suspect you are right assuming the target audience is the general population. No doubt that beauty is the ultimate marketing tool. | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Axel,You have to listen to the whole work from start to finish for proper effect, so give yourself some time, it is LONG, about two hours or so (Mahler's longest symphony I believe), but well worth the investment!I may do the same tonight as well.... | |

| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? "Mapman, what about Ohm speakers? Do they deliver?"Yeah, I would say so.They are not horns nor do they utilize field coil technology drivers, nor might I be able to afford them if they did.Feed them sufficient power and current though and they def... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? "High Emotion Audio"The name would seem to imply that!How about Shindo speakers that also use field coil technology drivers?Wide dispersion and very good sensitivity and dynamics would seem to be two common traits in this category. | |
| Why buy cheap speakers?? "as my system improved my attention would be drawn by the increased realism to what was right about the recordings, not to what was wrong."Me too. | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? At the moment, after spinning his "Travellin" album, its Chet Atkins. | |
