Help deciding between two speakers.
Speaker technology has changed, but to what degree it’s still drivers  in a box. The dollar isn’t worth what it used to be that aside a $1500 speaker 40 years ago generally eats a $1500 speaker today, that’s a fact. I think people should spend m... 
Help deciding between two speakers.
Age is baloney, spend a few dollars reform, rewire recap if necessary doesn’t take a rocket scientist and is not expensive. the Infinity’s  are a Dipole speaker and have a sound well worth listening to. The RS 111a’s and RS111b’s are essentially t...

What is your vinyl commitment?
Nothing…A hobby Pursuing clean Audio Entertainment being my goal. Doling out big coin for arguably inferior expensive sound, not my cup of tea. My prediction..15 years will see Interest and sales halved in the vinyl industry.   
CD's or Vinyl?
An easy choice…neither ! Streaming Is the best bang for your buck. Not going to spit shine vinyl then get up every so many minutes to flip or bypass a song I can’t stand, warmer you say, I’ll turn up the heat ! Cd’s arguably better sound certainly...

A case where bigger is better IMO. Any room with treatment and appropriate equipment can work. It’s not a case of blah blah mines the biggest and best it’s what you have to work with. Much is written, videos to watch, help is readily available the... 
Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view
Millercarbon was / is a bag of hot air, the king of junk tweaks. He would promote a Sandwich-bag of baloney put on his best in the world tekton speakers. We’re all entitled to our opinions I’ve certainly got a few. To a point he was laughable the ...

Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers.
@ghdprentice  Cynical ? Certainly you’re not suggesting people that choose not to purchase a product are dumb. I would think a hearing preference would play a role, whether having the funds or not is a moot point. I am sure that selling a company...
