| speakers for classical music IMHO, Sonus Fiber and VA are from the same school. At your price point you should listen to both, IMHO. I, obviously, prefer VA, but I can see what others see in SF.Dave | |
| speakers for classical music Mrtennis, I'm surprised to hear someone that loves "classical" music that puts dynamics as the last priority. I too need correct timbre, or I can't listen. Still, classical music is BY FAR the most dynamic music in my wide ranging collection (abou... | |

| Jeff Rowland's Continumm BTW, there's a blog about our Rowland Factory Tour, including some discussion of Rowland's philosophies, at Soundings Blog | |
| What Solid State PreAmp? Clio, exactly. I posed that question to Jeff when we visited his shop last week. The Critereon is his soon-to-be-released "statement" preamp. It will be battery powered.The Continuum 500 converts any AC to pure DC and the PC1 in front of his devic... | |

| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player Mike, there's lots of good beer in Colorado. We'll have to find some and clear our ears.Yeah, I talked to Jonathan last night and he seems to be aiming for the next CES and then returning to RMAF in '09.Dave | |
