Have you looked at SVS? I have two in my listening room/theatre. Very
happy with their quality and performance. There are lot's of reviews
available and they have dealers in Stockholm and Gothenburg.

I often read about complaints from people using couriers for delivery,
mostly online purchases from the US. These are almost always about a

The same is true of speakers and cables. You have simple, ordinary wire
inside the source components and amp, then mega $$ speaker cable, then
back to ordinary 14 or 16ga wire running from the crossovers to the
individual speakers, typically using simple slide on spade connectors.

I've been a music lover and occasional musician for about 50 years. I've
also considered audio gear/technology an important hobby for the same
length of time.(notice I avoid the term audiophile!) I bought my first
decent stereo system at Toronto HiFi in 1971, while my fiancee was
getting fitted
Ron,
I went to the MMW site to download the new CD but it only shows as
available in MP3. Where did you find it in 16/44.1?

Nice job. I had some Newform Research speakers several years ago that

Dynamica from your landline phone
