Review ... Neil Diamond's "12 Songs"
Anyone remember Neil's new wave/leather metal phase from about 20 years ago? 
Tyler Acoustic vs. Paradigm
Loose,What about the Epos 12 do you like? I've never heard a Tyler speaker but have heard a number of Paras. Two neighbors in my 'hood have floorstanders and I recently auditioned a pair of the high end stand mounts with the beautiful finish. None... 
Do you care about the LOOK???
For a while I kept a small poster of my Air Tight ATM300 on my desk. I think Air Tight's amps combine both beautiful function and looks. They really are quite jewel-like in appearance.The Lexus coupe performs like a rather sleepy, overweight house... 
Speakers for a small room
The new Concertino Domus is very nice (more to my liking than the Auditor) but may be too warm and full with the Jadis amps. I think the Jadis are 30wts? Hey, you know might work nicely (with a small REL sub)? Maybe the Silverline 11s. I think tha... 
Speakers for a small room
Speaking in only relative terms, the Jadis amps are on the warm and "musical" side of things so they might be a good match with Auditors. I did a rather extended store audition of them (with electronics I know) and they are quite open and detailed... 
Quad vs. Martin Logan?
I read somewhere years ago that electrostatic speaker technology was invented in the 1930s. I even remember seeing a reprint of an article from a trade journal from around 1935 showing and describing the system. 
Speakers with no woofer and no tweeters.
I know of many speakers without woofers and tweeters but a favorite is an old college professor from the University of Michigan, Aubrey Castell. Although, I graduated 28 years ago so he is probably no longer with us. Damn good speaker with interes... 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
Geez, a lot of responses about a speaker only 10 people in the country will buy. (O.K., maybe 15.) 
Need woofer repair
I've already called Bill at Millersound and am shipping the woofers to him next week. I replaced them with new Harbeth woofers about 4-5 weeks ago but hate to just throw away the old ones. 
Anyone have info on Chario?
Contact:Bill LeGallMillersound1422 Taylor RdLansdale PA 19446(215)412-7700He may be able to repair the woofer unless the woofer cone is ripped or something radical like that. 
Speakers for 80s rock?
I just happen to dislike that 80s canned, artificial reverberant sound field, especially with drums. Just awful and pompous at the same time. Same thing for so much of the decade's music which was corportate arena anthem crap. You could almost hea... 
Speakers for 80s rock?
80s rock? What an awful decade for that type of music. What are we talking about - Def Leopard, Twisted Sister, Whitesnake, Bryan Adams? Geez! 
My old system vs my new
Are Nordost bright sounding cables? 
Rarest Brands for Sale on 'Gon
Music Reference amps are usually available and I think at most times there is at least one up on the site. Just about 3-4 weeks there were three amps, two different models. I've also heard they are reliable but have recently been told by a 30 year... 
Need woofer repair
Thanks, Bigkidz...
