| 16 ohm speakers with 5 ohm amp ? Read Art Dudley's review of the little Exposure integrated in the current Stereophile. Horrible on the 16ohn Altecs; much better on the ?10ohm Devores... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Because really few systems + rooms can truly handle properly a full-scale symphony orchestra in flat-out hue and cry, listening to chamber music in the home is often an all-round more satisfying experience. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Dohnanyi PC #1 #2. Hadn't listened in eons. Quite impressive. | |
| Best Wireless Towers under 8K (US) I'd have thought that the obvious choice would be Dynaudio. They make quite a range of this style of speaker now, at various price points. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Just as the novel went all the way to Finnegans Wake and then came back to chronologically organized coherent narrative, so I think we're well back from the atonal period. Look at the popularity of Arvo Part or Goreki. My own favorite from the y... | |

| Gentleman, get yer credit cards ready... Based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, that well-known hub of turntable production. | |
| My beloved CDP finally bit the dust Or what about Border Patrol? A few months ago they were the flavor du jour, but recently nobody mentions them... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados My system is the most revealing it's ever been--and I'm not always liking it.I've been immersed in Rachmaninov the last few days. Listened to Daniil Trifonov for no. 2, and Argerich for no. 3. Then I put on Boris Janis, on Mercury (2 & 3), w... | |
