Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century?
THE 21ST century speaker has arrived...but you can not ...i repeat can not walk in your local hi-fi shop and get one...my diligent hours of research has paid off...comercial speakers produce just that "comercial sound"...and believe the reviews if... 
Rolling your own
nobody cares to look any further than the ads in their audio mags...in this country advertising is a mezmerizing force that blinds...or in this case makes people deaf...have a nice day 
Whats the deal with CD players?
Tobias and Garfish posts say it better than i ever could...however one point they missed is the question of quality...which plays little park in speakers(i've had my speakers for 20 yrs w/o a glitch) most amps are reliable for many years...but whe... 
The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp?
JADIS ORCHESTRA...this thread is quite old but thats my vote...the 40 watt intergrated JADIS ORCHESTRA has 4 KT90 tubes is very beautiful...the 60 watt has 8 KT90 tubes!!! is STUNNING!!and the sound is just as lovely

The superawesome sub from ADIRE : BRAHMA
Sean i see what your saying...but you will have to admit it is a very well made driver...and would be a tough competitor among other long throw subs...but i think the long throw type sub may not be want i'm looking for...i want a soft yet tight su... 
The superawesome sub from ADIRE : BRAHMA
Sean...has one of the longest throws on the market without losing definition...sealed not ported...small cabinet will do fine...400+ amp will do it...Sean take a look at the FOCALWX13 and give me some imput on this design as well thanks...the choi... 
The superawesome sub from ADIRE : BRAHMA
SEAN thanks for your post...i'm looking into the problems that you pointed to. 
The superawesome sub from ADIRE : BRAHMA
Sean good point...the driver really needs a high quality amp...but the REL has a built in amp and sells for about the same as this driver + cabinet + amp...as for "good sound"...the REL is reviewed as being "best" and my friend says his REL sounds... 
So how many people are using subwoofers
GOLD's statement may be more of a commentary on the REL than on subs in particular...my friend just hooked up a REL sub to the MUSICAL FIDELITY amp and said the sub sounded "WOOLY"...that is "kinda sloppy..not tight...not hifi"...and its possible ...
