How are Von Schweikert speakers?
Where are the reviews? Thanks. 
Legacy anyone?
I went to their show in Feb 2001 in Dallas, Texas. The only thing I like was the Focus and that was for music audio only. They had their hometheater demo worth more than $20k and it sucked bad. They had demoed "The Matrix" chapter 29(hallway shoot...

(Surrounded) Which Digital controller ??
I definitely consider Lexicon MC1 or DC-2 which are well reviewed and are very easy to upgrade. It has DD5.1, dts surround EX and their Logic7 is just so incredible. For hometheater, it's one of the best, for music I'm completely satisfied. Give i...
