Hey Bob, There is just too much out there, period. Foolish audiophiles too, thinking price is too short to be any good. I don't know how Ed Shilling does it. I...

Interesting timely question. A friend of mine just ordered the AudioMagus Trends TA 10.1 moded and we should have it next week. I have had FT1600's for almost...

Bob, I'm glad all is well with you and family. Scary stuff especially the loss of life. These storms seem much more frequent and earlier in season than I...
Hey Bob, I'm thinking about a change to the DX3 driver in my LT-2000s. A while back I read some old posts about the some of the sound differences between the...

Jim, Basically, you will not hear much degradation in the bass when you move to the DX3. You will have to add a couple of ohms of series resistance, but other...
OK Bob, thanks for the input. It sounds like what I want. I'm not in a rush because I'm satisfied, but always looking for more, so at the right time, I will...
