Some Time for Romance

While riding the <a href="http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/nyct/service/fline.htm">F</a&gt; train this morning, I, for some reason, found myself face down on the <a href="http://www.oldnewark.com/education/images/elementary/hawkins/hawkinssts… Street School</a> asphalt. All over again, on this hot, summer, 5th grade afternoon: Jose Quiros pushed his weight down against my lower spine, clenched his angry hands around my 10-year old throat, and announced, clearly and confidently: "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you..."

Infinity Modulus loudspeaker & Modulus subwoofer

As much as I'm tempted by the impressive sweep and scale with which some of the large, full-range loudspeakers endow music, for some reason I find myself more at home with more compact examples of the breed. This is not through lack of familiarity with large speakers, a pair of <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/506">B&W Matrix 801</A>s occupying pride of place in our living room (which also serves as my wife's listening room). Yet I find myself hankering after that ultimate soundstage precision that only minimonitors seem capable of producing: the loudspeakers totally disappearing, vocal and instrumental images hanging in space, truly solid&mdash;the prefix "stereo-" is derived from the Greek word <I>stereos</I>, which means solid&mdash;so that a rectangular, totally transparent window into the concert hall opens at the rear of your room.
