I have been waiting for over 3 weeks now for my dealer to get a Hicap in for me. Is it usual for Naim to take this long to deliver? Do they not keep any stock?You know what it's like, once you've decided you want something you want it now Mark

This is probably the final (Whew!) chapter of this too long and drawn out saga.I got my speakers back from the now-defunct ProAc dealer in Owings Mills Maryland. Following Richard Gerberg's advice, I removed the drivers and looked inside. He said to...

After finishing my ProAc testing at Soundworks, I felt obliged to ask the chap what speakers he would recommend in the $1,000 - $1,500 range. He immediately said the Totem Staffs were the best in the shop at this price point. Two blinks later and we...

Well, I had an opportunity this week to play around with a couple of 250's on my Kan II's (bi-amp, not active) and I can say that it was not a win-win situation. What the Kans gained in bass extension they gave up in midrange fullness. It was a bit of...
