| my Talon Khorus sounds bad 300i is great as a Rock'n'roll amp and good enough to drive Khorus. Rega Planet seems to be lifeless for any kind of music either electronic or acoustic imo. It's got plastic body and pocket CD-player mechanism besides. I still do not know how you... | |
| 3 Way Speakers If the speaker drivers were full range, than It wouldn't make a sence to even buy a 2Way speaker. There is no speaker driver that can produce a full range. Planar speakers still need a sub for a bottom end.Theoretically 3Way design tended to get c... | |
| my Talon Khorus sounds bad Believe it or not they might not be broken-in yet. It can take a hell of a time to break them in. Some people just getting tired and sell them for nothing comparing to the new retail price. The break-in time should be minimum 400hrs(months of cont... | |

| Question for users of bare wire ends speaker cable Yes Sugar, indeed they can and that's what I'm using. I soldered them with RadioShack silver solder and threaded them through the binding posts. Still you will have to clean it often but with much better convenience. | |

That's what the chat is here for. Someone said that smooth jazz is good for background music which is complete true. If I'm ... | |

| Stradivari Drum Funny Hmm I wasn't too deep on to the naming but English isn't my 1st language and I probably understand differently the types of strings. Can we say viola is a type of violin? Most-likely Yes.Can we say cello is a type of violin? Certainly Yes. | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? Clueless: Pat to me sounds smooth(that's how I feel listening to him) I can continue my list with Chick Corea, John Scoffield, Mike Stern etc...
