Avantgarde Duo audition

Ever since my friend Stew heard the Whispers at DUP's, he's been on a mission to replace his JM Lab Nova Utopia speakers with something at least comparable for less money. He was seriously exploring purchasing Legacy Whispers, when I saw an ad on Audiogon for a pair fo Avantgarde Duo's, which were offered for audition literally a few blocks from where Stew lives.

How will the high price of CORN affect your hi fi listening?

Or buying CORN based audio products? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080622/ap_o...F9I.pkAATFv24cA LP's are oil based, what about the stuff CORN based....ain't audio grade FEET based on CORN? Corn feeds the cattle which produce a lot if not all the BS in audio........

Harman, will it stay on course of excellence?

With the new guy in charge, Harman International has had some run of excellence over the years, they really have some of the greatest brands under their control, and they didn't ruin any of em. Many actually got better, and sustained their inovative plans. AKG and Crown just keep on being great.....AKG makes some great stuff. D&M is gonna be moving on up...to battle it out on pro stuff? Harman has had a big head start, D&M is a newbie, in the game. Wonder why Philips didn't expand it all instead of selling it all off.

7 ga. into a 15A IEC connector!!

What brilliant line of BS....and the price!!! More brilliance. What device that uses an IEC 15A or less connector needs to have 7ga. wire to deliver the required voltage and current....and they cover it in CLOTH....modern materials science has developed wire coverings and insulations that got rid of 1930's 1920's cloth covered wires!!! When does the nonsense stop? I bet....the cloth SOUNDS better....riiiiight? 7ga wire onto a CD player, oh yeah.....I don't have 7 ga wire feeding my electric water heater, and that can cook some water, ya really need 7ga for home audio? In anything?
