I used a 400-watt power amp with my Electrostatic Quad speakers with absolutel... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? The negative stuff about Clayton is off base and not fair the man has been doing this a long time and is an open baffle guru in experience and design.

| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? This is the internet, the age of Trump, and outrage and disrespect for others seem to go hand in hand any any post you might write.

| Are Shakti Stones effective? Update: After a month of use. I purchased one used for a good price, so I did not give a crap if it worked in a positive way or not. Well, I put it on my amp where my 2 power transformers are. Played a disc that sounded great before and played it... | |
