| Are Sony SACD Machine Owners Crazy?? Frap......thank you! You are so right, and this has beenmy point. We may be able to buy great pre-amps, power amps,cables...and speakers, but without great source componentsmuch of our efforts are lost. Why labor over choicesin the rest of our sys... | |

| Tuners to audition under 700 If your thinking used...and you could find one..the ClasseTuner-1 is very, very good...but very, very hard to find. | |
| Are Sony SACD Machine Owners Crazy?? Thanks guys...I think? Sorry if some of you may have thought I was questioning SACD...I'm not. Both SACD andDVD-A have real merit. The question was talking aboutthe 1-bit type of D/A and the use of OP-AMPS rather than discrete components for the a... | |

| Trivia: 1st Lennon-McCartney song in US? P.S. to the above post...this really is a question..I thinkI know the answer..but, hey..this is AudiogoN, ie: just ask! | |

| Magnepans,tweeters on inside or outside? Well,...it seems that music taste, room acoustics..and othercomponents used...has come full circle on my 1.6,..like theother Maggie's I've used. For my set-up the tweeter's tothe inside with slight toe-in do the best for me. Thanks for the input! | |
| Sony electrostatic speakers japan only? Key word is unlikely...perhaps it is a great product. Sonyhas not shown us much for high-end speakers, Martin Loganand Magnepan have a good track record. Perhaps someonein Japan can join in on this thread. I believe that bothMartin Logan and Magne... | |
| Sony electrostatic speakers japan only? Look interesting, but unlikely to be good as the upcommingMagnepan MG-20.1 or similar Martin Logan. | |
| Tried 2 pairs of speakers for 2 channel? The speakers mentioned above, Duntech, Montana..etc. havethe woofers farther apart..and the tweeter(s) centered. The lower the freq./Hz./CPS the more omni-directional, andthe longer the wavelength. The distance the woofers areapart has a greater c... | |
