| Why not horns? Bass is pretty much omnidirectional until about 500 Hz. Running even a 15 inch woofer to 400 Hz should be fine.Please refer to the Chart 3-6 in this manual (kind of a bible for horns) | |
| What is Musicality? I can't describe it but I know when I hear it. | |
| Distortion problem You may need to replace the tweeters. Piano can be tough for tweeters. | |
| Best Dac with USB input for $1,000 or less There's probably better DACs and worse DACs but the Benchmark does a good job... at least in my system. And that's coming from a 40 year analog guyAgreed. It is great value. Of course it works best with very neutral equipment - so it only fits wit... | |

| How much "more" for how much more $ ? 9K in a speaker may get you drivers costing several hundred dollars each as opposed to the prototypical $50 woofers. Although sometimes it just gets you a high quality veneer. | |
| The Sound or Music I like to hear what is going on - you can't always here everything on bad recordings or bad systems - a walking bass line can be buried. I want to know what tom is being hit and that squeaky foot pedal on Led Zeppelin. The recordings I enjoy most ... | |
