| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... If it were me I'd go for the larger woofer and higher efficiency to best hedge my bet against clipping. Clipping is always public enemy # 1 of good sound. Its the kryptonite to the amps Superman. Goal # 1 should be to keep it out of the picture. T... | |

| vintage versus modern speakers I have Dynaudio COntour 1.3 mkII monitors. These are overachieving little guys that hit way above their size and cost and deliver many delights, but they are not nearly as coherent sounding top to bottom as my newer OHM Walshes. My older "vintage"... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz By teh wayy DD what is the rest of your system and what are teh new speakers? Thanks. | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck ITs crazy to compare BEck and Beyonce much less put them in teh same category in teh first place and then have one win over teh other. Its apples/oranges. So it is what it is..win some loose some. Tell Kanye that!!! | |
