    Digital controls...why the hell not?

    I have a Klipsch RW 12d 5 year old sub....decent, but not the best.....but, love the top mounted digital controls. You can adjust everything by leaning slightly and using an LCD screen on top of the unit. It just makes sense. I have also programmed to my Harmony remote, but frankly, so easy to...

    Year end thoughts

    The cheap standard stock stereo in my 2009 Impala company car sounds better than most home systems I have owned over the past 40 years...hmmmm? You can throw a blanket over most ported speakers from $100 to $2,000.....seems like most have computer generated perameters and sound about the...

    PMC Transmission lines......

    Perhaps whats missing in most of the speakers that are discussed here...a very large stand mount, but 90 lbs.....astonishing bass, so you do not need a sub. Frankly guessing the proper cutoff on the sub in most systems is the weak point. In most cases you are duplicating bass notes and never do...

    Is this speaker as good as they say?

    Always suspicious of awkward websites like theirs, but good reports coming out of this company....Looks like an original Advent rebirth with sealed cabinet and 10" driver.....Made in Utah with wood veneer. Like to see an owner review http://www.zuaudio.com/store/omen/bookshelf/...

    Def Tech SM 350

    Was killing time at Magnolia last week and listened to most of their bookshelf units....the SM 350s stood out as by far the most imposing units... I never particularly like the looks of their speakers and ingnored them as choices...I listened in two channel with no sub and admittedly, its almost...

    Wave of Future

    Summit wireless or someone like them will make all present speakers obsolete within 5 years....per the movie, the entire set up changes at the press of a button to adjust for your location....so dont invest much in conventional wired speakers at this point. They will be ballast and door stops...

    Interesting speakers....

    From a well respected amp maker....a friend just bought a pair and I am impressed....kind of a throwback 4 ohm, but seem to work well with modest amps....I did not notice a port so they may be a rare suspension model ala NHT.....the dual drivers are unusual also.....be interested to know of...

    Samsung...not a player yet?

    This unit probably not up to standards......but Samsung clearly a quality player judging by tvs etc......I would like to see them get serious about audio. They are the type of company that that could push the others with new technology...

    Worst speaker you have owned?

    Mine was a set of Boston CR8s....last American made bookshelf units.....sounded like isolated bricks...horrible cheap looking printed cherry vinyl exterior. Metal grill that was impossible to replace when removed....Had always wanted to own a set of Bostons based on mytique of of 90s and found...
