"I'm just speculating and I could be wildly wrong, but perhaps it was because certain folk here couldn't help themselves making unwarranted and provocative comments designed to incite partisan squabbles?"

I'll also agree with a previous post that even lower budget speakers can sound great with more upscale electronics. Lastly, power matters. A dedicated line, a good power conditioner, and power cables ... | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music I’ve always said a sub belongs in a home theater set up. I have a very nice Tannoy sub that serves this purpose. My 2 channel hifi is composed of large Tannoys that, to me, do all the bass I would ever need. I am not habitually listening to a chur... | |

| A new way of adjusting anti skate! The best way I've seen, as well as explained was by the the Soundsmith guy, forget his name. He just places the stylus in the dead wax or run out groove and observes the behavior or movement of the tonearm/stylus. Too quick, bad...nice and slow an... | |
