Biwire vs Single/jumper: Cardas Golden Ref
Art,You still running your LSA's? 
LSA Statements sound like. . . .??
Agree with Sedab that your amp and the LSAs should sound marvelous together. The show reports on that combo have been extremely positive. 
LSA Statements sound like. . . .??
I think a lot of the bass response thing will have to do with how large the listening room is, naturally, and how close they are to the wall. My room is about 13 x 16 x 8 – not that large at all – and I never felt any need for a sub woofer in that... 
LSA Statements sound like. . . .??
Hi, Shazam,I am happy to post on this topic. I had a pair of the LSA1 Statements for several months and just loved them! They have a sweet, extended top end and do voice extremely well. They are imaging and soundstage monsters and go surprisingly ... 
What speaker for being close to rear wall?

the clue by Sjofn HiFi at RMAF
Anybody else get to hear (the clue)? Looks like a very clever design. I'm curious how resolving or "fast" they can be with that room coupling design. Also, you tend to think, in conventional speaker terms, that near-wall placement sacrifices stage... 
Merlin TSM with Manley Mahi-Mahi?
Mahi-Mahi + TSM = wow!

Has ANYBODY outside of the Zu factory actually heard the Omen, yet?

Received my new Manley Mahi-Mahi's yesterday. Haven't yet had a chance to hook them up, but will report back when I do – due to my work schedule, it'll probably take me a couple of days. :-( 
Merlin TSM with Manley Mahi-Mahi?
Well, guys, I received my new, Manley Mahi-Mahi's yesterday! I haven't yet had the opportunity to hook them up, and, due to my work schedule, probably won't get to do so for a couple of days. But I will report back when I have the system up and ru...
