| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? There's a fairly extensive discussion of spikes, floor isolation, etc. for Spatial speakers over on Audio Circle. Also discussion of placement in room. | |
| Speakers that can reveal orchestral instruments' positions Yes, it depends much more on the quality of the recording than on the capabilities of the speaker (though that obviously too is a factor).

| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars Those Wilsons are simply irrelevant. True innovation with speaker design is taking place many places, but always far from Provo. | |
