I read one of your posts about the Beveridge speakers. I am located in Chicago have recently purchased a pair of Beveridge 2sw speakers.

At that time we found the Citation Eleven to have a subtly grainy overall sound and a slight […]

These rules of thumb are easy-to-remember approximations that eliminate the need for complicated and needlessly precise calculations. If you learn a few key rules of […]
Has anyone got any experience of this unit? Thanks. H.
