| Focal v Wilson @audioman58 even if you buy eight to $10,000 speakers that were originally 15 to 20, you have to understand that they are still going to need cables that cost about 15 to 20 grand to make them work right in your entire cable loom. The biggest pro... | |
| Focal v Wilson @audioman58 borreson I won’t play nice with vintage McIntosh. That’s like putting diesel fuel in a Ferrari. | |
