| Define high current amp? OTL's are an outstanding match with Soundlabs, I can attest to this personally. Currently, I am using a single David Berning ZH-270 with full-range Soundlab Pristine II's with very good results. The 270 outputs 70W @ 8 ohm and steadily increases p... | |
| Reynaud vs. Spendor vs. Harbeth vs. Linn Stick with the Reynaud or the Harbeth's. I have had both and am very familiar with their virtues, both being great speakers. You cannot beat the value with the Twinn's, but the Harbeth with most likely beat them in the midrange department. The Twi... | |

| Best places to find records on Chicago Hey guys, I just picked up 14 records at the Reckless Records on N. Broadway. I plan on hitting the other two locations soon as the records I found at the first Reckless are really great. Found some excellent blues and some newer releases as well,... | |
