Is it just my subjective observation OR was it a measured action by NeedleDoc? So It seems there is a full full page of all ORTOFON stuff, which is not the usual NeedleDoc play. And how coincidental, there are Ortofon reviews...now....I thought.....perhaps mistakenly, but wasn't something similar to this idea of not advertising when there is a review of a product for that product, and a dealer advertising it? Wasn't this an issue previously discussed that it violates Stereophile policy?

Anybody have any info on what amp they use to run these with little or no effort?

Are they as hard as Stereophile tests results suggest?

Wanted to know if anyone out there has listen to these speakers and wanted to know there thoughts.

I currently have these speakers powered by an Audio Research VS-55 which is being fed by a Lavry DA-10.

I'm also curious in knowing if 55 watts is enough to drive these speakers for the best sound.

thanks.

Are active crossovers better than built-in speaker crossovers as a matter of course regardless of implementation? In other words are you better off with an active crossover no matter how good your built-in speaker crossover may be and one should consider an external active crossover and bi-amping if the speaker design and funds allow it? Aside from the flexibility that an active, external crossover allows, what makes a crossover good or bad from a sound quality perspective? How does one decide which is a good xover (active or passive) and which isn't?

Thanks

I just turned my boob-tube on & discovered they're doing Mozart's Magic Flute! It's the shortened version of Die Zauberflote, but that might be a good thing for some of you And it's in English! I usually cringe at English-ified versions of operas, but this version is excellent; the libretto translation was done by J.D. McClatchy, whose poems I like very much. And the set design by Julie Taymor is whimsical & spectacular...
