| The secret to a great amplifier... Excuse me? Something bugged you, and that's fine, but to be very clear, I think these fuses could be a shortcut to cheap euphonic amplification, they are that powerful to my ear. | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... I might open one up and take it like a medication. Imagine what it might do for my immune system! | |
| smaller speakers for critical listening? My single driver omega alnico speakers are definitely designed for critical listening. They really opened up though when I added matching subs. Ive had bigger speakers in my space but they dominated. I'll be sticking with smaller speakers indefini... | |
| Can an “audiophile” ever be satisfied with a system? Once you know that there are things out there that are probably "better" than what you currently have, you want to try them. Lots of "audiophiles" are not into doing research on their own and are at the mercy of their dealers. They don't even know... | |

| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure So curious about these expensive and exotic single driver speakers. I have a pair of omega alnico towers with matching 10” subs and love them, but have never heard magus or nenuphars. The omegas have a paper hemp cone with whizzed.Anybody heard th... | |
| Subwoofers down-firing or side-firing? Why? According to Louis at Omega, he uses down-firing subs for ease of placement. | |
| Your most indispensable "tweak"? So I picked up a novum pmr premium resonator on the basis of a recommendation in this thread (and other reviews) and the effect it has in my room is beautiful. Hard to describe, but improves tonality, image density, without any negatives. It's als... | |
| Your most indispensable "tweak"? Interesting... nobody has mentioned anything from Stein Music... | |
