| Most important component?? Single driver speaker running full range with no x-over. Not as good as an optimized wave-guide speaker but considering the trade-offs, a good substitute. Greatly reduces the necessity of room treatments.My system is in the living room so I can't ... | |
| Intuitive Summits & R.S. Audio Sasons? The Summits were speakers that made me go Hmmmmm. I think they may be really, really good if I can trust my ears. The dealer used the new Arcam integrated which is bright to me and so the speakers sounded bright.But what really showed how good the... | |
