So glad to be of a little help. Matt is amazing to be around. I did pretty well in school many years ago, have a MBA but Matt is off the charts successful, bright and kind! All his videos are great. BTW he holds a doctorate!

I second nice things said about Gene. I’ve met him and he has consulted with me. Just saw him again at the Tampa audio show. Now, he has to make a living like most of us. But I honestly think he tells things as they are backed up by his own measu...

Casters to replace spikes
How about custom stands on casters by Sound Anchors? I loved them with my B&W N802’s years ago.And not only Wilson but now B&W use castors! The ease of use between 2ch and HT is a big advantage.Best of luck!

Forgot to mention, Matthew is a Perlisten dealer, but they are not cheap. He will have a demo pair very soon.

I thank everyone again. The cabinetmakers son in me still loves those Sonus Fabre Tradition cabinets in the red stain finish.Most of you know have forgotten more than I know on 2ch. I appreciate 2 ch, but my room is a task. So, the need for incred...

nseymour, I think k your telling me for dynamics, movies etc. the Focals are great. However for softer music the SF’s are better. While we do watch movies, our music choice would be female vocalists like Diana Krall, acoustic rock like The Eagles,...
