| Whizzer cone drivers I have Moth Audio Cicadas on my TV system, I stare at those whizzer cones all day! | |
| Recommendation for low to normal level listening a 13.5' x 21' x 8' room Triangle. Buy the model in your price range. Paper drivers come alive at very low volumes. Tube amp friendly (mostly). Great for jazz and vocals. | |

| QA Rocket 88 cable Rocket 88 is a good cable with more than average detail but still sounds nice and balanced. The no frills option is a good way to buy. | |
