Audio Aficionado serves mostly (not entirely) the upper quartile of high-end audio. It is very congenial, with very little of the bloviating present in some other forums.

Steve Hoffman Forums are by no means completely objectivist, but the participants don’t think facts and measurable science are anathema to high fidelity. All levels of system from relatively inexpensive to very high-end.

In addition to the forums mentioned above I also like https://www.avsforum.com/ and https://www.whatsbestforum.com  Enjoy!

Audio science review has a really experienced and knowledgeable group of regular participants.

I spent time at ASR, they know tech a great deal. I'm afraid that their approach to science and audio didn't make sense to me.

You mean not a bunch of old, jaded women with more money than taste? Yes, I agree. 

Can NOT recommend Computer Audiophile forums, now self-styled as Audiostyle or some such blather. In theory it should be a good forum, in actuality it's something else. Some of the most toxic posts and posters I've seen. They have been beating dead horses over there for years.

I'm predicting this post will be deleted by day's end.

I enjoy the forum PS Audio has on its website. It is not exclusive to PS products and generally free of hyperbolic discussion.https://forum.psaudio.com/

The VPI forum is quite good, as is the Martin Logan forum.

Lots of technically savvy folks on these.

WhatsBestForum

I am not a Klipsch owner, but the forum at 
https://community.klipsch.com/
seems quite reasonable (unless, of course, you consider the enthusiasm for Klipsch product).

Speaking of the VPI Forum...I've tried to join more than once and I can't get an activation email. In the help section, it suggests contacting an administrator, but the admin mailbox is full and, as far as I can see, one has to log in to contact the admin within the forum...Catch 22. Can anyone help me muddle through this?

LOL - how funny is this

Unfortunately VPI had problems with the old form and has had import dsta problems into the new form. Your only recourse that I know about is to call VPI and ask them for a password reset or email confirmation. Their main website will have a phone number. Please note that even the new website is not a secure site. Personally I don’t see the new Forum as an upgrade to the old site. Don’t be surprised if you get a bad link within the new form. I encountered this within about five minutes. Personally I’m disappointed in VPI‘s response to this problem. The original form had a ton of good useful information. Perhaps someone will eventually figure out what the problem is and get things back online. I’m sorry I can’t give a more positive outlook but perhaps if more people would call VPI and voice an opinion they will do the right thing. 

What's Best Forum is the hands-down best forum for audiophiles.  You do not get the snarkiness, rudeness, know it all attitude that you can get on Audiogon.  If you have a question go to WBF.  I have learned so much from members on that site.
