| In defense of quantum products. The OP says he's been lucky, not methodical or rational, but just lucky. It can happen and his experience shouldn't be discounted. But he should also realize that many audiophiles aren't willing to roll the dice on some groundbreaking alt-physics. | |
| Spendor SP100 mid/bass rubber surround How will not have factory spec drivers impact the potential resale value of the Spendors?I own or have owned three different versions of the S100 series, all purchased used, and I'm not sure I would even buy a Spendor at a steep discount if it did... | |

| Thoughts on Neutralaudio X-Drei, wrt BSG QOL BSG has done a stellar job in marketing the QOL. They took a process that should have zero audiophile appeal and fashioned it in such a manner that it is now the hot audiophile product.
