LX_'s ground noise needs to be addressed - he should not have to put up with refrigerators and air conditioners interfering with his listening. However, it is important to understand that the solution to ground issues will have to be found in the hou...

I think the most interning would be to learn what kind MF and upperbass drivers were used, particularly the MF. I hope they are not the German BMS drivers as it would be a major turn off. It looks like 2” throat, would it be possible that French folk...

Hi Romy:See below an interesting approach. It probably violates some of your axioms but it does seem rather promising methink, without having heard it. Maybe Jessie Dazzle knows about these and could give us the lowdown as they seem rather close to ...
