| Has anyone tried using a marine AM/FM antenna? I run both the Fanfare omnidirectional and Reflect unidirectional from ccrane.com. Both very good, but the Reflect at $25 will outperform the Fanfare ($90) if used directionally. Just ordered another Reflect from ccrane.com and they have several o... | |
| Help me tame the brightness of my Triangles Straight Wire imparts detail and imaging but can often be bright and the combination with these speakers fatal. Try some Wire World, LAT International or something less bright. | |

| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Original Martin Logan CLS IIs with VTL monoblocks. Yes!!! | |
| Axiom M22ti Previous posting is dead on. I've owned the M3Ti for awhile and they were great. Very quick, great imaging. Disagree with the Boston cherry finish, I found black to be nicer. | |
