| Another sign SACD is dying In my opinion it is against the nature of an audiophile/music lover to be a whiner. I embraced almost every format that came along and enjoyed every minute that I spent with it. Dying is inevitable, be it any format or us. Happy listening to every... | |
| Subwoofers that do both L/R & LFE simultaneously? REL Strata III have another advantage in the sense that they are sealed enclosures which integrates well with any speaker in the chain.

| Can a vintage piece over 40 years old be Highend Have had the pleasure of hearing a 1964 Sansui Tube amp (40 watts or so) driving the Martin Logan CLS effortlessly. The sound to my ears was way superior to a Krell 300i which I heard in the same combo. I own the Chartwell LS3/5a circa 1979 and wh... | |
