| Fedex and Ups Damage thread Perfect timing. Sent a pair of Spendor S100s to Bakersfield California. Extremely well packaged. Both speakers were double boxed, foam on all corners of both boxes, additional foam spacing on all sides, etc. One speaker arrived with a corner and t... | |
| Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions FWIW...The MC275 will drive my Focal Kanta No.2s just fine and they are rated at 91dB. Since they tend to drop to less than 3 ohms at 105Hz the 4-ohm taps are often preferred. | |

| CDP or Transport and DAC? Recomendations? FWIW...I too have a few thousand CDs. I ripped all to an SSD drive and use one of my PCs as a media server. I connect an NAD C658 through wifi and play everything through my Rogue M-180s and Focal Kanta 2s. I also use the NAD as a preamp until I c... | |
