| Musical Fidelity M6-500i vs Kw - 500 @fatboyriding - sorry about the delayed response. I upgraded the power cords to Acrolink 7N-P2040 on the main power supply, and upgraded the umbilical cords to Acrolink 7N-P2030II. The stock cables were only 2 1/2 feet long, so it was difficult to... | |

| Help ... Totally stuck (subwoofer topic) Does the new sub have an adjustable crossover level feature? If so, you should set the level of the crossover fairly low (25Hz), which would then (I think) use the sub's crossover to send only signals >25 Hz to the main speakers. There are mor... | |

| No love for Verity? I've not heard any Verity speakers, but I have not heard a speaker with a plastic cone midrange that I would actually buy (preferring paper cones or fabric domes). Except for *possibly* the Rockports, (or are Magicos in that group?) - but I am no... | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates Two interfaces that affect sound the most are a) speaker to room and 2) amplifier to speaker. You don’t say what your speakers are, whether you are happy with them, or what type of sound you’re looking for. Low power SET + hi efficiency speakers i... | |
