1. Elgar's Enigma Variations (EV) written in 1898 were about his circle of friends. Pi is a constant in all circles. Pi is the circumference divided by its diameter.

2. Pi is usually approximated as 3.142 as a decimal, or 22/7 as a fraction.

3. The first four notes of EV are scale degree 3-1-4-2, decimal Pi.

4. There is a drop of a seventh in bars 3 and 4.

5. These two sevenths follow exactly after the first 11 notes. ie: 11 x 2/7 = 22/7, fractional Pi. (The first seven bars may be viewed by clicking on the site below.)

I am thinking of upgrading my current speakers (Paradigm Studio 100 v2). They have aluminum dome tweeters. The speakers I'm considering are the Paradigm Signature S6 (beryllium dome) and the Sonus Faber Liuto tower (soft fabric dome). I will of course listen to both of these before I purchase, but in the meantime, I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts about the sonic pros/cons of each type of driver. Thanks, Don

Hey guys, I've been reading a bunch of the forums posts here trying to put together a good but inexpensive first system. I've always been a bit of an audiophile, but I've never actually had the money to purchase anything. Now that I'm out of school, I do have just a bit of money to spend. I've been going to the local stores and have been listening to some of the sound systems they have set up.

I'd kind of like this setup, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on the selection, before I make any decisions

So I have a choice between the two, both in good shape. For a garage/shop system. Cannot test both back to back to decide. Which would you choose?

Cerwin Vega DX-1 vs. Cambridge Soundworks Model Six
