| Speaker Ideas upto $2500 05-28-09: BondmanpWhile in-home trials of loudspeakers are a great way to audition speakers in your home, if you don't have sources and amps yet, that could be challenging :-)Absolutely. It's a real Catch-22.The OP has previously stated that he do... | |
| I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did 05-28-09: NietzscheloverFor one thing, people who design audio equipment are, generally, not the same ones who sell tweaks.True.However, Steve McCormack, a pretty well regarded designer of audio equipment, is very "tweaky". He's the one who introd... | |
