Otherwise a fire, flood, even electrical anomaly (if the backu... | |
| FM Radio, anyone? There is a pretty good all Classical NPR station in my city, and I have listened a lot in the past 5 years. Using both old school tube tuner (Dynaco FM-3, old school analog solid state (kenwood), SONY highly modded XDR-F1HD, and even a Crane pock... | |
| The best reference is live music On the other hand... I don't miss the coughing, the sneezing, the occasional vomiting in the aisle that were some of the fun times had at the BSO. And thankfully when I had my season tickets, cell phones had not yet been invented ;) | |
| New house, wife reveals she hates my Maggies- looking for stand mount speaker suggestions Ref 3As are not floor standers. I own 'em and love 'em. Can listen 10 hours in a day with zero fatigue.

| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations fair enough, I would not argue with your preference. And I agree flexibility in choice of amps is a good thing. However your point that I was addressing was how actives could possibly sound better. What electrical components or characteristics ... | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations [[I don't see how the active version could sound better ]] no analog crossover to eat watts, ring, distort etc.? | |
