| Which components are "stupid good"? "Stupid Good" : Standard but good quality interconnects and speaker cables, which are generally available for less than $100 and appropriately specified for the equipment in use.Plain "Stupid" : special cables and interconnects generally available... | |
| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... The smaller designs definitely compress and also suffer from port chuffing ( non linear port effects at large excursions). John is correct that big really is better in this case, however, small near fields are practical and bring aesthetic advanta... | |
| Speaker with most dynamic PUNCH? Any ATC. All punch way above their size. As you correctly surmise, it boils down to large magnets with short coil in large gap and larger diameter voice coils that can cool effectively so that thermal compression is minimized. The other factors ar... | |

| Speakers for Bryston ATC SCM20 and up. ATC's are audiophile speakers that can actually use the full clean power of Bryston 4B without sounding the least bit dull or distorted or congested. | |
| active or passive preamp for active speakers Passive is not ideal and never will be. | |
| Favorite music My preferred collaboration is Lanois with Dylan on "Oh Mercy" - the result is sublime - "The Man in the Long Black Coat" is a masterpiece. Daniel worked again with U2 Vertigo but I felt that this revisited old ground rather than breaking new groun... |
