Review: LSA1 Statement
Larry,Could you explain to the readers how it makes sense to produce a complete speaker in China in order to save on production costs only to ship it to the US and have American laborers gut the insides and basically rebuild it? Why don't you just... 
Tel Wire: underrated, underpriced.
I don't doubt that Tel Wire makes a good product, but I went on their website, and they are by no means cheap. For the price they are asking, they should be good. 
Rest in peace Doug Fieger
Not every band or album that becomes an overnight sensation is worthy of the attention it receives, but that album was a really fresh take on power Pop-Rock. It still sounds fresh today. Rest In Peace Doug. 
Leslie & Corky - Need I saw any more, again???
I saw them the weekend before last at the Scottish Rite Temple in Collingswood NJ, and I have a different take on the evening.First, I want to say that I did enjoy it, and it was really good to see the guys again. I felt really old when I realized...

Question regarding reputation of SOTA tables
25 years or so ago they were all the rage, and the major mags were always talking about them. You know how that goes- it's been a long time since they were "This Year's Girl", and now it seems that vinyl fans are fascinated with tables from easter... 
3rd order crossover on a Cary Silver Oak One
Consider upgrading the passive components in the crossover, as that may be the problem.

I think that I have heard of furniture treatments that contain sunscreen, anyone else know who makes it? 
Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000
Let's hear some more feedback about the Sony's Redbook performance. I know that Daveb believes that it is excellent. 
MAC Autoformers?
Oh Boy! This is an old argument, and when it pops up, you invariably hear someone say that Autoformers add distortion, decrease detail etc. It is all nonsense. The proof is in the sound, and the amps with Autoformers sound fuller and more effortle... 
Amplifier for Klipsch Cornwalls
It sounds like what you already have will be more than good enough. 
Best Christmas Album
Glad you asked. I have several dozen, and of course they range from Perry Como, Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams etc. plus lots of Orchestral and Choral and some rock (not much). With all of that, my 2 perennial favorites are the Carpenters Christmas ...
