Its interesting, the US car manufacturers insist that buyer demand mix and match options, so they have literally thousands of combinations. Honda, in contrast, has only about 20 models of their Accord, even counting trim and color. Clearly Honda has cheaper manufacturing and inventory. > As you said, I am sure utterly intergrated speakers allow for that. *I* > will claim to my grave you *have* to upgrade the cable between your > Audioengine5 speakers (get spades, look for a good deal, and if they're > more than 8ft apart you got the wrong speakers anyhow :) My Mackie studio monitors have a lot of controls on the back, allowing for level matching, high pass and low pass, frequency response tailoring for placement against the wall, or out a few feet, or in free space. But they are aimed at a different market. I believe that one of the drivers for the HDMI connection in the home theater world was that consumers are not smart enough to handle right+left + video connections. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
