| What's on your reading list? t_bonethe fact that you heartily recommend one of my all time faves, "stock operator", and equally deride neiderhoffer as i do (i finished PS, my review is on amazon, and it was none too kind!), well lets just say i'll be picking up Fooled by Rand... | |
| Classic Rock Fans? what, no black sabbath or rolling stones? velvet underground? hell, i occasionally put "london calling" by the clash in the system for some jollies; gotta love mothers of invention too. rhyno | |

| NHT 3.3 or Mirage M1Si? i've never heard the mirages.i owned the 3.3's briefly, and for the prices they go for they are w/o a doubt some of the best values out there. i thought they compared very favorably w/ merlin vsm-ms, and WP6s (of which i have owned both). they do ... | |
| Attic room too small for Hi End Speakers?? i've used soundlabs and WP6s in a room 11* 12; is it optimal? no, but w/ proper placement and sufficient room treatment (!), it will sound quite nice. | |

| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. traditional sub hookups are problematic, i admit. i had a custom passive x-over designed to roll off the merlins at 100hz at 6db/octave and let the subs come in there. coherence was not lost---i certainly couldn't hear the extra x-over, but i coul... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. i may as well chime in here:as a former owner of VSM-Ms and good friend of rcrump, he heard my merlin-based setup many times and saw it evolve from decent to good to great. but the inherent limitations of the design remain---and that is what he to... | |
