ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? OK, so let's ditch the Elac and go back to thinking about some of the Ryan floorstanders as a possible alternative. | |
Sister's wants music system without the hassles! @dekay No, I think "harto" captures also captures my sentiments to a T. | |

Here to learn and more As I understand it, "strapping" often increases the lowest number of ohms that an amp is comfortable driving. I.e. a stereo amp drives 2 ohms, but a bridged version only does 4 and up.If your speakers are biwireable, why not try driving treble an... | |

How expensive are best NOS tubes ? And how difficult to find ? Jim McShane is the fourth name that should go in that shortlist. | |

iFi AC iPurifier Thank you for your useful and constructive comment on this new product. I presume you base your judgment on extensive testing of this particular unit, which is only quite recently on the market. | |
Hegel Mohican vs. Bryston BCD-3 I've made little progress on this front.I'm finding it hard to believe that the Mohican has achieved much market penetration. So far, I haven't stumbled over a single person on this site that owns it. | |
