| Gato speakers Reviewers just have to tell it as it is. If they get excited about many products that is a good thing. Most will probably not bother to publish a bad review unless they feel that will benefit someone. Good ones stick to the facts and try to keep p... | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? If someone tells you they are watch out. | |
| Gato speakers Yes positive people who manage to identify good things are a real problem. Especially for Debbie Downers. | |
| Bang for the buck vs. “money no object” cable recommendations For something completely different and relatively affordable and very coherent take a look at DNM Reson. | |
| How would you prioirtize? What is the floor construction? Foundation level or upper level/suspended plywood? If you jump up and down do things vibrate/shake rattle or move? If so isolating speakers from the floor with isolation pads like Auralex Subdude or similar might be... | |

| Am I crazy? Definitely! Sounds like you will be getting whatever someone else best manages to talk you into buying for exact reasons unknown. Good luck! | |
| Cable Elevators If people are so sure about what they hear, why does what other people say about it bother them? Why do they then feel compelled to discredit others if they do not tow the line? One reason could be they got something to sell. No way to know for su... | |
