Albert Porter's SystemThat's a magnificent system! It's also really cool to see the group picture. There are several of us here in Blacksburg that get together like that too. Your music group reminds me of ours.... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |

To see and feel the musicThanks Andy! I love it. The resolution I have now is so much better than before, it's amazing. Moving to a large room made me realize how many reflections I had in the small room. Imaging has impro... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
To see and feel the musicHi PaulNo not at all. The Nanos fill the space perfectly, the larger ones have no more bass, and the larger models have their drivers too far apart for ideal imaging. Proper driver integrat... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
To see and feel the musicThank you both! That 6N6P amp is quite a trick. If I had the time and gumption, I would commercialize it in a slick little package.Arthur posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |

To see and feel the musicHi Brian, thanks for the update. I'm planning on selling one of my amps and replacing its spot in the rack with a Furman, most likely. I've been eyeing the IT20i for years now - it would be about t... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
