 Bigger is still better, period - at least when it comes to two-channel systems. Believe me I’ve heard many fine sounding monitors (with and without a separate subwoofer) auditioned at shows and in my own listening room. Several reviewed I’ve purchased or wanted to badly, yet like the preverbal big fish I throw them back to wait for the one that’s just too amazing to return. Read our review of the KEF 205/2 floor-standers. They would fit anyone's needs.

 Having grown up a big fan of the Star Wars films, as many of us home theater enthusiasts did, the label THX has always had an air of gear-head royalty due to its origins. The Lucasfilm spin off has long represented a certain standard of excellence when it comes to home theater equipment . . .

 If you have followed some of my reviews over the years, you know I am a huge fan of planar (flat panel) speakers.

 B&W (Bowers & Wilkins) speakers have been around since the 1960's when John Bowers and Peter Hayward built the P1 using an EMI woofer and Celestion tweeter. By the end of the decade they had constructed the DM70 entirely in house with a 12" woofer and electrostatic midrange and tweeter. This was the beginning of B&W's pursuit of loudspeaker perfection.
