Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp
John, Charles,I think you're both correct with your conclusions. Either I go strictly 2 channel for music or Charles suggestion of using a tube preamp. Since music is more critical of components. I'm not sure I have the cash for a different preamp... 
Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp
Charles, your explanation is probably the closest to what I have always believed a good system should be. I'm 60 now and have always believed that the ultimate goal for an audio system is to reproduce the music as if you were sitting in the room w... 
Review: Realistic Minimus 7 Monitor
Thanks Al, Happy Holidays! I think I would lean more towards the A/D/S also. Happy Holidays To All! Bruce 
Review: Realistic Minimus 7 Monitor
Can anyone compare the sound of the Minimus 7 to the a/d/s L200 or L300?Thanks. 
Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green
Clapton had great respect for Peter Green. I heard him talk about Peter Green in an interview many years ago. 
Little Red Dot on Totem Hawks
Thanks Brf, if you've never seen a Red Dot, only Blue, then your explanation makes more sense. Blkadr, I think it is the general public that likes to believe in chicanery. I've read that the Beaks work but I've never heard of Acoustic sculpture or...

I'm still waiting to hear back from Nico Bruzzese, Vinces's son? I'm hoping he can verify all this. I'll let you all know.

I was always curious about this dot. I asked the A'goner I bought them from about 4 years ago. He didn't know the purpose but "don't remove them!" So it all has to do with the version? Hmmm thanks for the info.

Hello all, sorry I was gone for a few days. Many great suggestions since I've been gone. During my journey, I picked up another pair of Titus 202's, like I had before. I'm now thinking about swapping out my HSU sub for a REL T3 or T2 not sure whic...

Thanks JP, I'm with you, I don't want a speaker that is too fussy with it's placement. I really don't want speakers sitting in the middle of my living room. Thanks Cdc, you've sparked my curiosity of the purpose of a phase plug. This is why I enjo...

JP, I know NHT's shop is in Benicia, never been there though. I'll keep my eye out for a used pair. Thank you for the input. You as well manoterror, I would like to hear a pair of maggies, I've heard a lot of good things about them over the years....

Thanks JP, I would love to hear a set of the NHT's but I can't seem to find anyone who sells them in the San jose, Ca. area. I'm amazed that there aren't many higher end audio stores here in the Bay Area. I may have to go to San Francisco find a d...

Hello Jndean, I would also consider the Cometes if I can find a pair. I heard they had the bass that the Titus's lacked.
