| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? KEF Blade B&W (multiple) Sonus Faber Venere Wilson (multiple) Devialet Bang and Olufsen Gallo Estelon Forza Magnepan And so on. Many play with shape but sometimes it's inside a box as well. When the original tests on box speakers we... | |
| Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma Find a pair of KEF 100 or 300. Paired with my Rotel, or Marantz. They had enough warmth and low end for a 12 x 15 room. Also a used pair of Nola Boxers, and you can check out the focal line. | |

| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts The place I go to has greeted me like a friend. I walk in they give me a hard time with a smile and will put on music in one of their rooms just for me to listen to. I once was asking about buying a subwoofer and told him what for. He said go righ... | |
| Amp and Pre-Amp suggestions needed We used to use McIntosh 75 watt tube amps to push double 15 low range cabinets. And 10 cell horns. These were events wit thousands of people outdoors. Watts are not the only tool in the toolbox to figure out what might work. Its not just horsepo... | |
| Living in Japan. Any opinions on amplifiers? Go to Yodobashi if you are into the mid level to semi high end. They have KEF, FOCAL LEVEL, McIntosh, Yamaha, Stax, high end cable, etc. They carry a lot. Sure there are some they don't and probably won't spend over 20K on speakers, but they have... | |
