Levinson Reference

Description

System has grown in complexity of late (8/06) however the sound quality has grown as well. Pipedream reference 18's have taken the place of the Aerial 20t's. The "pipes" have a presence not many speakers can match, and give me the big sound I crave. The 4 18" woofers are amazingly fast, tight and tuneful. Bass dynamics and resolution are fantastic.

Wow, Paul! I turn around for a minute and you've changed speakers again! We seem to be moving in opposite directions, front-end wise. :) I had been contemplating line-array speakers myself. Who knows, maybe I'll do the complete circle someday. Enjoy!
