DESTINY CD PLAYER

STEREOPHILE (Jan, 2007): "...the Creek Destiny so clearly outperformed my California Audio Labs Icon Mk.II Power Boss that I was looking for some way to justify its purchase. The CAL made my decision easier: Toward the end of the reviewing process, after 15 years of loyal service as my reference CD player, the CAL gave up the ghost "

TBI True Subwoofers: The NO-Boom Box!

"What I heard was as much pitch definition, individual note definition, beat definition, leading edge definition, and trailing edge definition as I had ever heard from a speaker reproducing bass, let alone from a subwoofer. The Magellans didn't just keep up with the speed of the Quads: for all intent and purposes, they had become part of the Quads."
