| Philadelphia area audio club? Hi Dan,Sunday, September 26 is spoken for. Steve and Joe T. have arranged a demo at a dealer's location with Granite electronics and Von Schwiekert speakers. I don't know if trying to do two demos in rapid succession will be good for the group, we... | |
| Vandy 2 or 3 Sig. Vs. Thiel CS2.2 or CS3.6 or ?? Sdcampbell offers good advice. These two speakers are about as different in their characters as it is possible for two dynamic driver speakers to be. Which you will prefer will depend on your listening priorities.

| ?'s about quality of audiophile recordings Viridian has this exactly correct, imo. The best of the reissues I've heard have been well recorded and simply miked acoustic LPs: jazz, blues, folk or classical. Many of the rock reissues (from all sources) have been problematical because the poo... | |
