Magnepan 3.6r or Apogee Divas?
I have apogee caliper signature II's and Magnepan 3.6R, and the Maggies are way better than the calipers. I know the calipers are not Diva's, but it's the closest comparison I can give you. Maggies are also very amp dependant, I've been through qu...

The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now
Wolf Blass - either the Cabernet or Shiraz - fine Australian wines, the Shiraz is full bodied without the 'sweetness' that you find in the cheaper versions. Tastes like a $40 wine for $12.00
