    Krell Showcase or Anthem AVM-20 ?

    I would get the Tag McLaren AV32R instead of either. I'm sure Krell and Anthem make fine products but for the money, the Tag is the way to go (esp. since the AV192 upgrade is coming out with a lot of new features, including balanced inputs, DVI, Line Doubling, and others). With Tag, you'll...

    Semi-rant: Can you go back to piston speakers after electrostatics?

    I've owned both Magnepan MG1.6/QR and MMGs. I think for 2 channel sound, it's hard to beat planars or stats. I have now moved back to the dark side (using Diva Swans) because of constrainsts in the new house (can't put maggies in the right location). I would say the Divas are much better for...

    I have the Tag Mclaren AV32R EX and love the sound. There is a new upgrade for Tag coming, the AV192. Unlike most audio companies, you can talk to Dr. Udo (president of Tag) on Tag's website, www.tagmclarenaudio.com The AV192 will have DVI, progressive video processing (doubling) and other...

    Which SVS - 2039CS+ or 2039 Ultra

    I've been using my SVS 2039CS for almost a year now and want to upgrade to either the CS+ or Ultra to get more output. My current 2039CS sub clips on certain movies. I only have space for one subwoofer (so I do not want to add another 2039CS). Which would be a better choice - the 2039CS+...
