    My new speaker cable........

    I just recently picked up new cables for system by Acoustic Zen (Speaker cable and interconnect). The Hologram II and WOW interconnect really transformed my system by taking it to a new level. The soundstage got deeper and the midrange opened up with more detail coming through. The treble is...

    Home Depot Speaker Wire........

    I went over Audiomads to do some comperatives yesterday and was amazed at what we discovered.

The...

    I had an opportunity.........

    I had an opportunity over the weekend to hear a pair of vintage JBL 4350's. It sounded very typical of vintage speakers: Lack of bass, One notey, Rolled off highs at roughly 7k, and very shouty midrange. I'm just very glad speaker technology has came a long way or I'd never enjoy music.
