We all know that signal is flowing through the cables and that most carpeting can develop an electrostatic charge that can za... | |

| Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers douglas you are 100% WRONG These are excellent speakers but very fussy about the amp driving themI first experienced this when I has Genesis Vs some 15 years ago. I tired several amps before getting a KBA 75, which grabbed them by the balls, and m... | |
| Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers As an X maggie owner 3.5Rs, I do not believe they are your weak link. An incredible amp that should knock your socks off with them or just about any other speaker is Ric Schultz EVS 1200. I have a Agon thread if you care to investigate. I wish I h... | |
| Time to move UP, speaker-wise... Emerald Physics also has an open baffle speaker line. I have many happy hours listening to the KCIIsAt this moment they are planning to move the warehouse and are offering whatever is in stock at 50% off, and I think that includes shipping! | |

| New house, new amp, and speaker options (Harbeth, Maggies, GMA or...?) Hands down to fill a large room like that will be Emerald Physics 2.8s.Open Baffle, 2 15" carbon woofers and one 12" concentric midrange per speaker ~ 96dB. MSRP is $9999, BUT, they have a moving special where you can buy HALF OFF, and I think DEL... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? TimPutting together a system that does all types of music well that fits into any budget requires a lot of knowledge that starts with power conditioning, power cords/speaker cables/interconnects, source, amp, and ultimately speakers. A lot of this... | |
| Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers? I have probably owned 20 amps over the 40 years as an enthusiast and a Dealer. Closed the Dealer doors some 10 years ago.
