Need Help With Diagnosing A Problem
Interesting, the tech mentioned static electricity.  I'm in the southern Blue Ridge Mountains, on the Georgia/North Carolina border.  Not particularly dry like the Southwest, but it is winter and the humidity is low enough to cause some static ele... 
Need Help With Diagnosing A Problem
They have replaced the volume control once before (for different reasons) and now say it checks out fine, but I may suggest that they do it again.  but, oddly if it is the volume control, the problem only occurs when using the analog inputs (not t...

Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile
Thanks Nutty,  I know your a Totem fan and it was a tough choice between the two, but I am pleased with the JA'a and was able to get a much better deal than what was available for a pair of Forest Sigs.

I am not depending upon these wires to fix any problems.  I needed to replace my bi-wire cables which I will offer as part of a package when I sell my Mirage OMD-15 speakers which have bi-wire terminals.  I found the Zu Mission cables at an attrac...

"burning in" will happen in your mind as you adjust to the sound.   Prof, I wonder about the need for cables to "burn in".  Zu, on their website, and written materials provided with the cables, suggest the necessity for 200 hours of burn in time...

The Profiles are hooked up and running, albeit using my old Luxman R115 and new cables.  Even with this temporary system, I'm impressed with the clarity and accurate tone from the speakers.  I still need to mess around a bit with the position of t... 
Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile
Well I finally pulled the trigger and acquired a pre-owned pair of JA Profiles. It was a hard choice but I was able to get a much better price than what was available for a similarly pre-owned pair of Totems.  As luck would have it, just before th... 
Considering purchasing different speakers
OP,  it seems you have been looking at the JA Profiles in Windsor Locks, CT that had been for sale for quite a while. I have been wondering about them too but I'm way too far away to have sought  an audition.  If you are the one that recently boug...

Anyone actually heard the JA Profile?

Thank you. I appreciate your responses.  I've read that the Totem can be placed as close as 1 foot to the rear wall (I don't have much more than that space available).  Any idea about placement for the JA? 
Looking for impressions of Linn Majik 140 speakers
Nobody has anything to say about these speaker systems? 
2.5 or 3 way; why one over the other?
tatyana gets my question.  I appreciate all the info on the technical differences between 2, 2.5 and 3 way systems but I live far away from any place to audition speakers, let alone ones from several different manufacturers; so, when I see (in pri... 
2.5 or 3 way; why one over the other?
Thanks for the link but the info there doesn't really speak to my question.  I understand that a better quality 2 way system may well sound better than a lesser quality 3 way.  I was asking about systems from the same manufacturer, in the same pro...
