Re: PMC

I really can’t believe what I am reading. Before Richard died, I attended two shows he demonstrated at and frankly, to me, his sound using his cubes was really flat and completely uninspiring with no instrument/voice separation, a lack of bass extension absolutely nothing dynamic whatsoever. I reall...

Re: ALTEC LANSING 288-16K HORNS

I’ve listened to the Monaco SP-310CX in both a baffle design and fitted in a bass reflex box. They are not for me, but then I don’t like Tannoy dual concentrics either so that might be the thing.

Are you suggesting that all the graphs etc are made up? My ears also work for me and the comparisons you are making between digital cables at the moment a...
