| Speakers for string Quartets Besides Harbeth, you should definitely audition Spendor (but be sure it's the Classic line, you're more likely to find different lines that sound, well, different in stores), and Graham. Unfortunately, neither Spendor Classic nor Graham are as ea... | |

| Speakers for string Quartets Most posters are blasting past the amplifiers you have. You would need to decide between the lower powered ones and higher power. Most recommend choosing a speaker and then getting the right amp to power it. For timbral purity with lower powere... | |

For some reason, some companies seem to feel the need to offer a unit in each component category. TTs from ML, Bryston and McIntosh spring to mind. IMHO, they'd be better off sticking to wh... | |

| Western Electric looking for consumer feedback to make new tubes! I don't suppose anyone's heard the massive new 300B-based integrated amplifier that WE has been advertising recently. It seems to me that they are expanding/diversifying. | |
| Slightly OT: The Tragedy of Macbeth Judging by the trailers, the principal emphasis is on the moody B&W look and other atmospheric film noir details, of which the sotto voce dialogue would be a part. For contrast, try Kenneth Branagh's filmed version of a stage performance of M... | |
