| Is there any bad sounding high-end gear--? There not in the hi end category but anything Totem makes . Even the new Winds sound like some boxes I owned in the 60's. Haven't heard an electrostatic that I would cosy up with either . | |

| High-end amplifier clarification? One of the above posters mentioned Levinson being hi end . I would not consider my Levinson #431 hi end . In fact I would not consider any of my system high end , ( see my system link ) . It used to be if you spent $10,000 on a single component yo... | |
| How far apart do you position your speakers ? Great tread , lot's of good advice for a change . After much trial and area we ended up with the listening position just back of the triangle , that would likely put the speakers at about 83% apart . | |
