This is ridiculous.  Hilarious, but ridiculous.  People are way to jumpy about anything with wires.  Because apparently wires = bomb.  Reminds me of when the bomb squad blew up a stuffed horse a while back.  Or...

My Alessandro MS1s have a lot more clarity than my Cyber Acoustics A3780 speakers. But then I usually find headphones to me more revealing than speakers.

Got a pair of MS1s a week ago, and I have to say, I'm in love. Compared to the not-so-hot 'phones I had been using, these are a fantastic breath of fresh air. And the more I listen, the better they get! One quick question: How do...

Hmmm...I wonder if the Alessandros will be getting an update as well... Though, if they do, it probably will not be for some time, I would imagine.
