$25k speakers, are we there yet?

@jerryrocks - perfect - I'll buy lunch and we can sit and listen for hours in our dedicated Listening Room.  There is always a bunch of components and speakers to listen to.

I am not a fan boy of Vandersteen speakers but we have the 5As and 7s in the room.  With our components, they sound better than I have ever heard them at a dealer.  We also have Sonus Faber, Vivid, and Horning speakers.

All are welcome to come for a visit and bring a component or two.

All depends on what sound you are looking for.  The room treatment cannot change the tone or clarity or slam, or the separation as well as upgrading the parts in your components.  You have to know what makes something sound the way it does.  Think of old Counterpoint equipment for example.  Sounded pretty good back in the day but the parts today are so much better that what was used in them.   Upgrading the parts and a few other things takes you to a level you probably cannot buy today.  IMO to many people are chasing something in sound that they can already have with upgrading the parts quality and a few other items.  How do I know this, we have been repairing and upgrading audio components for over 20 years.  We have heard and compared more components than most people have heard.  It comes down to knowing what makes the sound you want.

Our listening room in Northern New Jersey is open for all to come listening and enjoy.

Happy Listening. 

@jerryrocks - you suck!  The Magico A5s are what what my high end reviewer buddy told me today is great speaker.  Much different that some of the other models.  Just heard his large new Wilson speakers and they sounded pretty good also but mucho bucks.  They are now on my very short list of speakers to hear.

Happy Listening.

@jerryrocks - you still suck!  LOL.  If you are every in the NYC area, drop me a line there are plenty of audio freaks and reviewers near me plus we have a dedicated listening room filled with many goodies.
