| Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle? And Devore’s inspiration for the "O" series came directly from the Audio Note N...I would conjecture that the same feature is a good part of the reason for the recent success of the Wharfedale Lintons... | |
| Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle? Yes! Consider the Harbeth 40.2, Spendor Classic 100, Graham 5/8.If you're interested in speaker design, Graham are now coming out with a new version of the 5/5 which is quite funky.https://www.stereophile.com/content/graham-audio-launches-ls-55-m... | |
| Barbie's Very Real, High End Speaker Problem... Have you ever looked inside a speaker?? Most of what you're buying is EMPTY SPACE!! | |
| ...amazed by 15+ year old interconnect... @insearchofprat You may be looking at the new price of the Mk 3 version (or whatever version they’re up to). Decades ago, used, they were quite approachable. They’re the model with the white woven silk covering. If I do experiment with anything el... | |

| Can quality sound be had using the short axis in a medium sized room (12X15) ?? Exactly! Long wall arrangement allows the speakers to breathe away from front and side walls, so long as you treat acoustically the wall behind you. That's what I do and it works well. | |
