| What amp should I buy to power Martin Logan Esl's? Source on that system was a krell CD player as well. ICs and speaker wires were all Audioquest I am pretty sure. | |
| Does it bother you? Well, there are many things that go on in high end audio world that leave it vulnerable to criticism.My estimate is what you read on a site like this is about 50% information and 50% misinformation or noise. 100% information and 100% misinformatio... | |
| Does it bother you? The only thing that might concern me is if Trent tried an alarm clock with a dot on it and heard something different (the alarm maybe??) :) | |
| Is The Overall Weight Of A Speaker Important? Not much can be determined by weight alone other than how many people needed to lift. | |
