Emerald Physics C2 or Usher BE-718
I would pick Omega 8s monitors over Usher and CS2 over both.However, CS2s need to be bi-amp and have some room requirements.Ushers are nice but like others said - not in the same league.Two different speakers, presentation and all.I picked my AAD ...

Tables That Feature Bearing Friction
While testing different belt materials (DIY belts) I was quite amazed at the variety of achievable effects it had on the sound reproduction and impact this part of turntable setup had on sound. The differences are obvious and no golden ear require...

Frequency Range - Bookshelf Speakers
My AAD 2001 do. Excellent monitors but need muscle ( I would say 100wpc minimum - quality too ).The bass is quite amazing for its size. Speed is another area where AAD 2001 excel. Having Martin Logans for almost 8 yrs can leave permanent hunger fo...
