| How thick should the front baffle of speakers be? I have listened to the Harbeths. They are not perfect and I think there are probably some frequencies that do tend to excite the cabinet. On the other side these heavy MDF cabinets store low bass energy and then release it slowly with a noticeable... | |
| How thick should the front baffle of speakers be? I understood that Harbeth's design goal was to make speakers that do not store the energy radiating from the rear waves of the drivers ( not the same as vibrations from the movement of those drivers). To this end the design is a success. The desig... | |
| How thick should the front baffle of speakers be? Many designers are using smaller woofers, they understand that the back waves often bounce back and right through the diaphragm. Not good. Those large woofers 10" and 12" suffer the worst. Not to mention the listener. | |

| How much discount typically for a new MC275 to expect from a dealer? I think the best way to get a discount from a dealer is to call and make sure you let him know that if he gives you a good price you will purchase from him and most importantly you will not be using his price as a bargaining chip with your local d... | |

| My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon viridianAs a dealer I learned early on never to promise anyone anything, I changed my wedding vows and simply said " I will try to stay with you through thick and thin with as few transgressions as possible" | |
| What Happened To The Copious Post On High End High Powered Amps By Whitecamross? Thank you for pointing that out. For a moment I thought he had switched to 300B amps. | |
| My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon You guys are pretty tough on dealers. Soon there won't be any dealers. Very soon. Then you can rely on the advice of guys that own 50 year old Advent speakers and Pioneer receivers. They can give you advice on 50K speakers.As a dealer my advice o... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations I think you would be doing yourself a favor if you purchased a moderate size horn and accompanied it with a pair of the Wilson Beseech Torus infrasonic generators. They are breath taking, fast and very deep and extremely musical as well as accurat... | |
