I've discovered a couple of boxes of old issues, from Vol 9 No 6 to Vol 26 No 2, in my basement. Before I consign these to a landfill (recycler won't take coated paper), I thought I'd offer them to current readers, for free (taker pays postage).

Continuum Caliburn Awards

I wanted to take the opportunity here to thank Stereophile for recognizing Continuum Audio Labs with Analog Component of the Year AND Product of the Year. It was an amazing and wonderful surprise to find out about these awards and both myself and the entire crew at Continuum Audio Labs are humbled and honored.

why multiple woofers?

Forums

I know, I know, there's an obvious answer to this question. But it is too simple for me to figure out. I'm shopping for a set of 3-way speakers and I've looked at many - PSB, B&W, Revel and others. All of these brands have models, in various price ranges, with 2 woofers. I'm making the ASSumption that this is just a design choice (or gimmick) and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how the speaker actually sounds. For example: I've listened to a 2 woofer model then a single woofer model, by the same manufacturer, and the single woofer sounds better. Is this a design issue?
