| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? I think the later Thiel versions worked nicely. Perhaps, the flat profile helped mitigate the lobing and doppler issues that might have otherwise prevailed? | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature III — video review on YouTube by Steve Guttenberg (1/15/2023) I think that some older speakers weren’t capable of true high end extension, which allowed the rising high end of many mc cartridges to gain in popularity.
