| Nordost Blue Heaven vs Heimdahl 2 vs Harmonic Technologies Para S - II I use Nordost Heimdall/Frey II wall to speaker.You need to try it yourself. SQ is subjective.

| Speakers for Small Room Primarily Listening to 1950s R&B, R&R Be mindful of your speaker choice....Once a later 60's/70's tune sneaks in, your system may not agree and blow fuses. | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! "Another one, Sinatra-Basie, is also on the way."Great album. The 2nd collaboration is another to look out for-"It might as well be swing" Lots of good ol male chauvinist references in that period of popular music.I have both the stereo/mono pres... | |
