| Whats playing on your system today? I’m streaming The Suppe Overtures MLP recording from my music server. Pretty dynamic and impressive!Dare I suggest someone might need to get their CD player overhauled. Probably painted the CD the wrong color too.A good ear waxing might also be in... | |
| Too good a post to waste The only thing of value I’ve read on this thread so far came from.....drum roll....Almarg. | |
| Speaker company :HHR exotic speakers That’s disappointing to hear that these new Walsh speakers have similar limitation as the old ie can’t go loud without damage. The Ohm Walsh line with the CLS driver design That replaced the Ohm F definitely solved that problem years ago. In fact ... | |
