| Acoustic Zen Action. Coach, I have been a fan of Mr. Robert Lee's wires, owner and designer of Acoustic Zen, for the last five years. His products offer a great cost/performance ratio, are wonderfully built, and have a great balance between "musicality" and details/cl... | |

| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Hi, to all of you. I just had the pleasure of moving into my new home, which was designed to be a total open design for my system. 18 foot walls with a 23 foot ceiling and just about perfect regarding not being too bright or damped in the 30 by 50... | |
