| Best speaker brands for transient response Another key objective is to preserve transients and spatial cues, which convey the impact of a musical event. This is achieved through good relative phase between drivers, i.e. they must all radiate in unison | |

| The joys of mid-fi Yes, very nice system. I had to admit defeat to hi-end in 2006. Even though I still work at it, you see my system page has not changed since 2006. That’s is because I have not found any major improvement worth mentioning. Hope you have better luck. | |

| Crossovers and power handling, and why 1st order filters can be bad Well, written and easy to understand. | |

| Food: what does the typical audiophile eat? @jayctoy Hope it works. Maybe that is why I like chocolate chips. The 55% cacao and higher. @waytoomuchstuff Haha, I remember peanut brittle. | |
| Food: what does the typical audiophile eat? A buddy at work would say "There are no fat grams in beer". His idea of a health food but his belly said otherwise. | |
