New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
I love my Emerald Physics 3.4s, open baffle, concentric 12" driver with 1" polyester tweeter, and outboard XOs, so I am set up for a digital amp, though currently am using Rics short-lived EVS 1200, which after a total cable upgrade sound vastly b...

Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference?
