- Interesting. Explains why it is so rare to get Telarc discs on sale
- 8-(. I just got Telarc's "Symphony #3, Saint-Saens, Michael Murray" and
- noticed that they used the B&W Matrix Series II speakers for the
- orchestral mix and ADS-1530 speakers for the organ mix. Checking
- several other Telarc discs shows ADS-1530 biamped, B&W, and some brand I
- had not heard of "Rogersound Lab 3300" (Bachbusters).
-
- Do any of the a/d/s fans out there know what the 1530 is?
