| Two audio components no one really talks about You hear what you hear. It doesn't matter what everyone else hears or doesn't hear.

| Opinions: Martin Logan Renaissance 15a vs. Bowers & Wilkins 800D3 How about a Mac receiver? | |

| Words of wisdom on choosing a speaker others use alumimium Has kenjit discovered a new alloy? | |
