Dec 22, 2014	Speaker type: is more affected by room acoustics I'll say floor standers merely because bass drivers can interact heavily with suspended plywood floors commonly used in modern homes to the point of obscuring the rest, and bass drivers tend to be located lower down with floor standers specificall...

Dec 21, 2014	High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Nice stocking stuffers. :-)
Dec 20, 2014	Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mk2 or Daedalus Ulysses v2 have you considered any dynaudios.
Dec 20, 2014	High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz The problem with this thread is there is no tolerance for anything except gushing about the products. That reeks of bias and limits any value in any case. But there is no law against it so rave on. It is what it is.
Dec 20, 2014	High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I'd just like to know what people gushing actually paid, if not the list price. Its a fair question. Nobody is answering it though.

Dec 19, 2014	High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Mine too.
Dec 18, 2014	High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz from where I stand DD is a shill for this product plain and simple. Must have some kind of financial tie in to the product. Maybe I'm missing something but that's about all I can see.
Dec 18, 2014	High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz one of these days someone will sell a uber expensive wire and then after further research publicly proclaim that its not so great as its price tag would suggest. Without then immediately coming up with the mkII version to replace it for even more,...
