| What speakers play the loudest cleanly ? OHM Walsh. I've owned various models since ~ 1981 and run them both indoors and out. Nothing phases them! Not even my current 500w/ch Class D amp. They just deliver whatever you throw at them.Once circa 1985 or so, I ran my old Walsh 2s on a farmh... | |
| Best place to consign classical LPs in NYC? BR is probably correct unfortunately.Westsider had a large stock of used classical records when I was there last a couple years back, but many were going for a pittance. It may be better for the used classical music shopper than for the seller. | |

| Fuses that matter. "I got some of the new Synergistic Research fuses in. I may get back about them, if you boys behave."As a matter of fact, fuses from reputable companies that specialize in a wide variety of power quality solutions other than fuses are the ones tha... | |

| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? THe Athom's are $4000/pair?Interesting they are French made by a guy formerly with Triangle. They reminded me of my Triangle Titus XS speakers at first glance. Except almost 10X the price of those ~ 15 years later? | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? "They did not even care to really listen much to the speakers or equipment, just wanted "the best" they had, something as good (or better) than their neighbor had."Well, honestly I think just about any salesperson likes customers like this.

| Fuses that matter. "Not sure how/why you would take issue with this. "Well, actually I do in that you are a vendor of tweaks that at worse probably do nothing which is good enough for many I suppose. | |
| Fuses that matter. "Is't it a little premature to write fuses off in light of all the positive press and customer testimony?"Geof, if you read my posts, you'll see that I do not write fuses off. I acknowledge that they might make a difference. I just put them way do... | |
