I believe MC has a lot in common with our prez, they just can’t help themselves. And you can't seem to help yourself when it comes to keeping politics out of an audio forum. Aren't you sick enough of that s&*t from every other possible ven... 
Shootout-- Primaluna Dialog HP Integrated/Carver Crimson 275/Elekit 300B
I had a carver 275. Very good amp.Oz 
Better Amp for Cornwall IV's...
The 4 Ohm rating at 1000 Hz just makes me wonder why they didn’t spec it from 20-20000. Because it wouldn’t double the rated power at full band width. So it looks better to the untrained eye to list it as they did. A common trick done by most che... 
Better Amp for Cornwall IV's...

As much as Mr. Rutan would like to believe otherwise, not everyone is a Vandersteen fan boi. 
Speaker sensitivity vs SQ

I agree with nwres, that’s the way they sound.Oz 
BAT VK -200 vs. McCormack DNA 1 Deluxe?
The BAT is not an upgrade over what you have. It's a lateral move at best and probably not even that.Oz 
Paradigm Persona B vs 3F vs other competitors - any experience?
This makes no sense because a stand mounted speaker has roughly the same footprint as a floor standing speaker. Why would anyone object to one over the other? Rather silly.Oz
