Since most people can't discern audible differences between high end cables and zip cord in blind tests, I think cables would be the least likely culprit in any objectionable sonics from a hi-fi system. That said, different cable configurations give different blends of resistance, capacitance...

Short run for the speaker cables too!

The benefits of bi-amping are lost if the passive crossover components are retained. The only way bi-amping makes sense is to toss the passive crossover components, directly couple the drivers to the amps, and use an active line-level crossover upstream of the power amps. It makes a phenomenal...

Hello Oz, We don't see many Tannoys on my side of the pond (USA), even at Audio Shows, but I can tell the cabinetry is superb and I would love to hear them !

Congratulations on your superb speaker build!

I think bi amping can make a huge difference. And if you have an active crossover upstream of two identical amplifiers you can "vertically bi-amp" the system for even better performance. Firstly, it gets rid of the power robbing passive crossover components and their phasing errors. Second...

"An audiophile never enjoys music; he only listens to the sound of audio equipment." I don't completely agree with this statement from the article, since I do enjoy music. However, as a speaker builder, I do find myself listening to the equipment, and I will buy a well recorded album even if...
