| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? I think people who are offended by vulgar language are just thin skinned. Either way, i guess you have every right to be offended. I think i gained a new insight to your position on why people who dont agree with you are "Lesser people" cause the ... | |

| Metal speakers. How are they? Dweller, thats not a bad idea. Maybe a pinch of powdered ceramic as well | |
| Metal speakers. How are they? I agree with greg about the slight harshness, but all in all i think metal cones can make fantastic speakersRegarding the horse-pucky reference, one of the things that has to be taken in consideration is weight and rigidity. Maybe if you tolled th... | |
