Have you ever accidentally stumbled onto a band you liked because of the album artwork? This is a perfect example of that for me – I had never heard of Mt.

It should be no mystery by now that I’m an avid fan of the TDA1541 monolithic D/A Converter.

If there’s one thing undeniable to every “audio enthusiast” out there, it’s that speakers are, undeniably, the most important part of the system. They have the biggest (some would argue the only) effect on the sound. That’s a topic for another day. Today, we’re talking about a rather wonderful two-way monitor. Prior to a couple
