| REL Vs SVS for 2 channel music listening Rel makes fine subwoofers, no doubt. They also look good, but are relatively expensive.For a while their unique selling point was that they connected at speaker level, and without a high pass filter for the main speakers. Hence their typical low p... | |
| Can't we all just get along? Geoff, you obviously do not know German, or not enough: my name is not German.As for your comments about Germany, let me quote them as I think they speak for themselves:' I obviously should have mentioned Germany in the same breath as Russia when... | |

| Help me choosing an Integrated Amp In this case my choice would have been a 2x100 watt Yamaha AS701 when the budget is tight and a 2x100 watt Benchmark DAC3+AHB2 when there is much more money. Anything less than 2x100 watt would worry me with such medium sensitivity speakers. | |

| Can't we all just get along? Geoff, I am not German (my grandfather sailed in convoys on the Atlantic and landed in Normandy delivering ammo on the beach while my father was in a labour camp). But what is the point of such xenophobic remarks? Modern Germany is a perfectly dec... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Another contributor recently called such snake oil gear a deserved tax on the stupidity of the rich. I can assure you that not all rich peope are stupid, but there are obviously quite a few suckers among them. | |

| The latest and greatest More generally, technical progress is slow. As for source technology, we have witnessed two breakthough moments. The first was the introduction of the vinyl lp that made 78’s obsolete. The second was the cd and the digital technology behind it, wh... | |
