Transporter SB3, Arcam Alpha 8R+8P, Klipsch RF7, Synology CS 406, some
QED cables.
I'm having a hard time locating a speaker that meets my criteria (it may
not even exist!). I am looking for something that can be mounted similar
to the BW LM1s. I love the accuracy of the LM1s, but the low-end
response just isn't there. I'm trying to avoid putting in a separate
sub, but I have

I've played an SB2/3 and our SB+ into both a Benchmark DAC and a TaCT

difference.

I don't know how these specifically compare with your BWs, but I've
always liked the Energy Take Series:
http://www.energy-speakers.com/v2/products/product-line.php?id=6
The Take FPS is rated flat down to 60hz (vs. your LM1s, which are rated
flat down to 75hz)...and they are wall-mountable...
I want to thank everyone for the feedback. I think that the problem is
that the specific feed I am listening to (an internet radio station) is
not providing sufficient volume, so I have to have the Squeezebox at
100% volume to prevent the amp from shutting off. I did turn off the
auto-off
Was this a double-blind test?

Sorry...I don't sell these...I just like 'em... :-) I used to own an

I'm *not* saying that. I just don't think it is right to speculate on or

Thanks for the replies - very enlightening - I was surprised to learn
that 'CD quality' was so high at 1440Khz which throws out the theory I
had been developing that my CD player was redundant (even though I had
spent a lot on it - a Cyrus CD8x) and that I should target my funds at
a stand

without wishing to be picky, you should say 1440 (or actually 1411)
kbit/s (which is a bit rate) rather than kHz (which sounds like a
sample rate).

What a load of absurd nonsense!
Why shouldn't it be possible to improve on the SB? Do you really
believe the Transporter to be so different? And, if so, in what way
would this difference make such a difference to the sound?
Also, the Benchmark isn't jitter rejecting.
