Some days are diamonds and some days are stones, not always the system can be faulted, but I know when it's me that's out of tune.

I've been very lucky to have some Audio Dealers who were willing to let me audition stuff in my home.

Which to me is where it counts.

My wife tells me it's because I spend so much money with them - can that be true?

The achilles heel of the Quad/Gradient subs is the gradient s.s. crossover and its wall wart power supply. Keep meaning to ask someone to do a valve one for me. IMO, subs are needed if you listen to Opera or large scale classical works, otherwise the depth is not there.
