totem arro
I purchased a pair for my father, and he likes them a lot. My mother also likes how small they are :)I thought they have a very nice sound, although a bit lean on the low end. Seemed very balanced and a great all-around speaker.If I ever need some... 
Does power conditioning really matter?
If you have crappy power and cheap power supplies in your components (most TVs, low-end receivers, DVD/BR players, etc would probably qualify), then you may see/hear a difference with power conditioning.The thing is, power conditioning is basicall... 
Best speakers small room off center
I also recommend taking a look at the Totem Arro. They have excellent off-axis sound. Not a lot of bass, however (although a lot more than you would expect from something that small). 
best speaker wire for extra long runs
According to this, it's all about wire gauge, distance, and speaker impedance.If you choose to believe it, then Monoprice has some of the best prices for speaker wire. If you need 10 gauge, I recommend Blue Jeans Cable. 
Best Interconnects and Speaker cables
I'm sure these links have been posted before, but since the OP mentioned the controversial phrase "just wire"... Please, take it for another point of view. It's been beaten to death in too many threads already.http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wir...

How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound?
Guido,Sorry for the delay. I don't follow this forum regularly.The ICE amp I auditioned was from SeymourAV. I'm a bit picky about looks, and it's the only ICE amp in the price range that doesn't have the garage-built look.And thanks for your impre... 
How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound?
Guido,I want to reiterate that the class D amp did NOT have "loose bass". In fact, I would not be surprised if its bass is tighter than most other amps.The ML simply was a little "better". That's it.I have not had a chance to compare all the vario... 
How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound?
I was able to spend a few weeks directly comparing a pair of ICE-based monoblocks with a Mark Levinson ML-9. I found the ICE amp to be a very good amp overall, with no obvous weaknesses. I find it quite puzzling that there is such vehment oppositi...
