My New Review of the Spatial Hologram M4 Open Baffle Speaker
Has anyone heard the difference between turbo and turbo s models?  Turbo S uses more expensive compression driver apparently but what is the difference in the sound I wonder?

Synergistic Red Fuse ...
One would hope Synergistic will do something to help out in a case like this.    It is an expensive experiment for someone and not user fault if apparent correct fuse blows unexpectedly.  One the right fuse is found, should not be a common occurre... 
Will a RCA to RCA adapter hurt the sound?
No way to know for sure other than try and compare.    
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
It would seem to me that if there is any question regarding the current rating of a fuse, a maker would lean in the direction of safety and have the fuse blow sooner rather than later. Sooner is safer. Later is riskier. If fuse does not blow and e... 
My New Review of the Spatial Hologram M4 Open Baffle Speaker
Hey yesterday I was twiddling with the speakers in my wife’s sunroom (switching in an old pair of Boston A40 sereis II I had just re-foamed to try) and my wife asked out of nowhere if I could put a pair of white speakers in there to match the deco... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
If you confirmed the correct fuse type and value with the device maker and bought that fuse from a fuse dealer,   and the fuse blows,  I do not think you have any recourse with the fuse dealer if they choose to not replace it.The reason is that th... 
Are Ohm-Walsh micros and 1000 series disrespected because of omni-directional design??
I'm actually glad OHM does not do shows and explicitly target the high end audio market.  I like their blue collar keep the overhead and prices for good sound as low as can be business model.    Most high end audio companies tend to lean the exact... 
The Golden age
Class D has pretty much done in big iron monster amps of days past.  Some still linger but fewer than ever will find a need or want.   It is undeniably progress to be able to make similar power amps smaller way more efficient and in many cases che... 
Did you hear Adele at the Grammy's?
As I understand it the mike fell in the piano and changed the pitch of the piano which Adele had to adapt to.   So the problem was the piano affected by a mike fallen inside not her mike.   At least that's what I read.   
How many pair of speakers do you own?
Yesterday I finally refoamed the Boston a40 series 2 speakers I bought 30 years ago that were sitting idle. Got them back up and running again today. Those little oldies surprised the heck out of me. The same very mellow but nicely detailed and... 
Did you hear Adele at the Grammy's?
I read a Mike fell into the piano and everything was off key from there.  Adele did her best to work with it from there.  Not her fault.   Shit happens. As she said.  
Are Ohm-Walsh micros and 1000 series disrespected because of omni-directional design??
Lance lock I'd like that.  I'll contact you on agon email.  Coincidentally I landed back on ohm again after many years. I too have an l shaped room that was hard to get right.

I like to shoot for the sky usually when it comes to these things as much as I can.   Bigger done well is usually better but also more expensive.    We’ll see. I’ve got some reading to do.

Maggies on steroids is largely what I was looking for to end up where I am today. Sounds good to me!I would really like to hear these. Might have to pick up a pair just because I can.
