    And says that he's a high-school dropout. I wouldn't want to claim that education is everything, but can we trust him to get the quantum mechanics right in his pink fuses?

    Tekton M-Lore Speaker Measurement Update

    Does that mean you avoided the bad experience of owning Zu speakers? (Sorry, couldn't resist ...)

    Can the M10 do sub crossover with high pass on the mains?

    Andrew Jones MoFi Speakers

    I appreciate that these are among the very few speakers available today with (what appear to be) non-diffracting grilles.

    Have Slim Floorstanding Speakers "Had Their Day?"

    Have Slim Floorstanding Speakers "Had Their Day?"

    Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary speaker review & measurements by Erin's Audio Corner

    Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary speaker review & measurements by Erin's Audio Corner

    I won't buy a speaker with those, on the general principle that I won't pay for audio woo. KEF and Revel should certainly know better.
