| VANDERSTEEN model 2CE Signature...or ...SNELL Type D ? In the right room; it’s Vandy’s for me. And the Vandy’s work great with McCormack. | |
| Recommendations for Speakers that can be used close to the rear wall. I’m of the opinion that speakers placed directly against a wall are particularly well suited for DSP room correction, As the direct sound and reflected sound is nearly identical, one avoids the weird afflictions that happen to the direct sound as ... | |

| Recommendations for Speakers that can be used close to the rear wall. Also; some LInns, Gradients, Thiel Powerpoints, Vandersteen VSM-1's. I'm sure there are others. Some of the above might best be used with sub-woofers. | |

| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? ^How much was spent on maths studies?:-) | |
| HDMI ARC or Optical out ? In addition to what already has been mentioned; HDMI will transmit the greater bit rate width for some protocols, but optical is more galvanically isolated.FYI, some of the better glass cables come from:Lifatec. Wireworld and DH Labs. Perhaps not ... | |
| Tact 2.2Mini Firmware Updates I don’t know if it’s still up and running, but there used to be a TacT users group up on Yahoo. I seem to recall that like some other such Yahoo groups it might have been hacked.I don’t know how far you’ll get, but it might be worth reaching out t... | |
