Re: Wilson Audio Alexia's

Great move Steve and Wilsons or Vandersteens would be my final destination in speakers if and when that opportunity ever arrives.

Re: New Portable Digital Player QA361

Nice read Pearse, you said you have to bring that Big 7 for a test at home, you can bring that player as well, to see how good it is. What you think?

Re: New Portable Digital Player QA361

New Portable Digital Player QA361
