If you were serious about sound you would...

There are tools and they are toys. Toys are for consumers and tools are for professionals. That is the difference. Perfection in sound can be from both toys and tools.

Silly premise, since the needs of producers in studios and home listeners are quite different, but if that’s what you believe, go ahead and buy it! By the way, you forgot to mention cables.

@roxy54 ...does that say that producers and consumer ears are different or quite different?? I'm really confused to what people believe...

In a word:

For sure no system /room can beat the recordings conditions and can replace the source, but only approximate them  this is trivial common place fact; but no recordings quality level can replace your system/room acoustic constraints, and the way to deal with this for the better is applied acoustics ... The solution is then not an upgrade buying race with no budget limit... The solution is studying and experimenting...

By acoustic and psycho-acoustic definition, we cannot compared home listening conditions with studio conditions or great concert Hall conditions...😊

It is like saying that a vehicle potential destination reach and speed and confort disposition make a Saturn Rocket better than a Ferrari and a Concord plane better than a Ferrari too but less good than the rocket...

And the ONLY interesting factor for most of us anyway , out of acoustic knowledge and experience that matter the most is the ratio S.Q. optimal level/ lowest price ratio...

I am happy now acoustically with a ridiculously low cost system well embedded... I listen music i am not moved by the look of a system or his price tag not even by his performance passed a minimal acoustic quality threshold... I live for music not for sound, and my budget is very constrained... my hobby was acoustic for years... but now i am in music because i succeeded with a peanuts budget to go and reach this minimal acoustic threshold of satisfaction defined with each acoustic experienced factors at the right place...

Less is better...Especially if it comes from your creative work with ANY system at ANY price in their three working embeddings dimensions ... I am proud of my work not of the price tag by itself or branded name alone...

Anybody with a wallet can buy the best in the world... Making the best with the less is more interesting on all counts for me... 😊

My hobby is now music...My acoustic basic job for many years is done and learned ...

"If someone is serious about sound " he buy books about acoustics and psycho-acoustics , not plug and play costly components...

What is the use to own the components you just describe if someone dont know how to control crosstalk in his system or create the optimal conditions for experiencing the best ASW/LV ratio ?

Sorry but i think you are not serious at all about sound... 😉😁😊

Personally, those speakers are overpriced, and UGLY, I would never waant them in any space, no matter how good they sound.

You can get great sounding speakers for far less $, selecting by cost is ..........

“How is it possible to get better sound than the best recording studio gear? ”

For starters, buy a better preamp and amp and not settle with mid-fi gear like PS Audio. And better is subjective, we all have a different perception of what is better. Maybe go to trade show, join an audio club, invite friends over to learn and share what’s the next step for you.

Is it INVOLVING? Yes, done! No, think long and hard before running around trying tweaks.

Speaker output, frequency balance, top to bottom and L to R in your specific space is key,

then go listen, try hard to ascertain any difference of sound/involvement between tubes and SS BEFORE you make changes.

Option to return costly items.
