| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? I first heard them at the Sound Center in the San Fernando Valley. They were playing a recording (vinyl of course) of Big Bill Broonzy. Man, that guitar was twanging the blues for real. Great speaker, indeed. | |

| Audio Research SP9 MKII I've heard the SP-9 a number of times in a friends system. I owned the SP-14 for many years. If you can afford it, go with the SP-14. Its a much better sounding unit. I'll bet you can pick one up at a very reasonable price these days. I sold mine ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ Personally, I believe that very few harsh words were posted in t his thread. Here's what I think ... Because we use a keyboard to "talk," and because we can't see each other through the computer monitor, we cannot see facial expressions or ha... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^^ Put another way ... If there is a need, someone will recognize that need and will step in to fill it and make a fortune in the process. The consumer gets what he/she wants and the producer gets what he/she wants in return. Free market capital... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ A Libertarian by nature, I've always believed in free speech for everyone. The answer to disagreeable speech isn't to shut the disagreeable speech down. Nope ... On the contrary, the answer to disagreeable speech is more free speech. So roost... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ ... Nope, if you ask the guy at ARC which direction that YOU should place the fuse, he won't be able to tell you ... because he can't hear the results YOU get. He only hears the results HE gets. :-) | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... mapman ...I believe you're correct in your assessment that the more resolving a system is, the more impact the "small" tweaks will have. Early on in this thread I made the comment that eliminating micro-vibrations in a system is a must in order t... | |
