    b&W ruined diaphragms

    Hey guys, I just thought I got a sweet deal on a full 5 speaker setup of b&W speakers, drove about an hour and a half away to discover all but one of them had bad diaphragms on the tweeters... I ended up getting all 5 speakers for just over $300 so I bought them to take the risk. Well, after...

    Song(s) that sound best on your system?

    Yes, I knew, an ideal system should have no sound of its own, thus, reproducing any kind of song with "equal opportunity". But it seems there is no such system; it seems sonic difference between systems is a fact of life. After all, Fostex FE206en driven by SET 300B sounds different than Monitor...

    Of a small wall, guess the winner.

    I am choosing to unload three of these pairs. They all have their strengths along with some undeniable... qualities. Feel free to match a number with a letter :) 1. One pair has a bit of a zingy treble, but has great mids and nice detail. 2. One pair has slightly more relaxed lower-and-middle...
