I bought SF Line 3 almost 2 years ago and happy with it:-) 
Do Usher spkrs sound great with Rock music?
I would say: it depends on rock music you loveIn my system Usher plays soft and musical rock just excellent. I mean: Simon and Garfunkel, Pink Floyd, Verve....even ZZ Top sounds good. Hard&heavy, punk and some oldies sound too soft to my ears....

Hi everyoneAs I said earlier I got Belles 28A ref as a pre-amp. I am listening to my new system 2 days and impressions are not monosemantic. I got better bass control and wide scene but at the same time lost naturalness. Sound became nipped and a ...

Morning :-)so i auditioned EAR 864 yesterday. What to say. Difference between Accuphase---EAR---Electrocompaniet and Accuphase---Electrocompaniet was not stunning. At first sight everythin' kept the same. In a while I noticed that sound without EA...
