| Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles? Are the REL's of today only REL by name and not what REL used to be with Mr Lord at the helm? The studio sub was eye candy to me back in the day. Then again the whole REL range were the mutts nuts when it came to bass, bass and more bass. Not hear... | |
| Klipsch love them or hate them. From my own experience what the Klipschorn Loudspeaker needs is a bigger mid range cone and larger flare say a 3" cone?. That would alleviate the mid range shrill/harshness (for want of better words) and allow the mid octaves to sound unstrained a... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 You listen to your 20.7's at 5' distance? that's not nearfield listening, that's being Intimate!. lolGlad you like and enjoy your speakers. | |

| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? @roxy54 Yes, the Impulse H1's are indeed one very fine never to be sold loudspeaker and are the best horn speaker I have heard to date. Same goes for the Oris 150's to a slightly lesser degree than the 1's. The Klipschorn is not as good as the H1'... | |

| Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need. I never got off the merry-go-round, I sort of fell off!.................. | |
| Best budget integrated choices A Quad Vena? around $400 used. I have one (two, actually) and they sound very good for the modest outlay. | |
| Looking to build a system for under $5k At a now new low price of $499 the Nuforce STA200 power amp is a total steal. IMHO. | |

| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 One could pay a shed load more of the green paper and get (musically) a whole lot less. I failed to mention the pairing of Sotm gear running with the W5's. It was a completely random pairing, and I think they paired very well together. | |

| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 Diversity is a good thing, which I think we will all agree on. One man's meat is another man's poison. | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 They maybe small in stature, and price lol, but they, when heard no way portrait the traits of a small speaker, I know someone will harp on about size, graphs, the laws of physics etc blah blah blah......., but they are the consummate bargain for ... | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 No wow factor, I think anyone will only need only a few minutes upon hearing to realize if a speaker is good, or not.......... |
