I suspect this is because, for a few folks, that is the idea of High Fidelity. High Fidelity = Highly Faithful = Accurate Reproduction of th... | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C plus Benchmark DAC1? I then tryed using the Benchmark Dac with my old Onkyo 5 disk changer using the optical out. Was hoping it would sound the same as the Cambridge because the Benchmark might just fix any jitter etc. Contact Elias Gwinn at Benchmark - he may be abl... | |

| Wide dispersion tweeters It helps if it can play loud but clean A lot will depend on your crossover - the higher it is the louder your tweeter can go. If you aim two tweeters upwards then there will be a space between the tweeters of several inches in the horizontal plan... | |
| replace a full Cello System? congrats to all who guessed the situation. Is she planning to re-marry? The situation reminds me of Combine Harvester...not that I am suggesting that one should marry someone simply for their woofers, tweeters and bass response. | |
