James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all
hi slanselm:2 things:after some period of time, are you still satisfied with the monster cables ?the double blind test you conducted (on your own ??) may have been flawed. however, the fact that one can detect a difference between cable does not j... 
What beats the Evolution Acoustics MM3 ??
any decent panel will provide a more realistic representation of timbre and no box colorations.i have heard so many cone designs and their weaknesses are obvious.it is too bad that there are so few full range panel deisgns out there. oh well, it m... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
why is there such a concern with the thoughts and opinions of other people ? if you have an interest in something and someone else doesn't, why obsess about it ? 
James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all
i would challenge randi, provided i could design the experiment and select the components as well as the sources. otherwise, anyone can design an experiment to increase the probability of a desired result. 
Whose sorry now? Sellers remorse from selling amp.
i miss not buying my friend's cj mv 125 when i had the chance. it is my favorite amp. 
James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all
i would take the challenge, provided, i could select the speaker cable and determine the components of the stereo system. the design of the test would need to give me the opportunity to distingish the difference between two cables and be so "rigge... 
Interconnects for BAT
any silver cable will suffice. most cables are extended. it is hard to find cables that are attenuated in the treble.

well stated, tbg.i have suggested blind testing but mr b avoids the subject.practically speaking, if you can hear a difference and are confident that you do during a number of listening sessions, it should be sufficient. if you then purchase the c... 
James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all
high muralman1:most interconnects do not attenuate the highs . they are either very extended or accentuate the treble.for example, nordost, synergistic research tesla, crystal cable, virtual dynamics and poema cable, definitely are not soft on top... 
Swiss amps
what superiority are you talking about ?is such superiority based upon your opinions or those of others ?while i haven't heard these amps in my own system, i have heard them iat ces. i will again hear the dartzeel at ces next month. i'm not overly...

you should have no problem with an spl of less than 80 db.i drive a pair of 1.6s with 4 watts. don't listen to the naysayers. try it and see. bring the amp to the speakers.make sure the room is not much larger than your room. 
We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors
hi doubleugly:i want to thank you for saving me time, effort and emotional energy. the only monitor speaker i ever liked was the chario acdemy one driven by the jadis orchestra.i generally dislike cones and boxes.
