Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Monitor
Warren you spoke highly of the bass as if came from a ten or twelve inch driver. The highs were pristine and all intergrated with the bass...What about the mid-range qualities, were you not as impressed? Transparency? Tom

KRELL SACD or TEAC Esoteric DV-50
I have the Krell and I am shocked at how good it is playing regular cd's. It has been in my system now for 30 days and left on constantly. I have not listened for a week or more and was blown away by how much bigger more defined the staging has be...

I did not to want screw up the time arrival balance of the 5 drivers in my Dunlavy SC4's. I elected to change the mechanical and material makeup of the crossover only, all the values remained the same even as the crossover grew out of the enclosur...
