When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one...
Lets not forget the people who buy audio for presentation and appearance purposes. These are not really audiophiles, gearheards or luvers of music. They want other people to think or perceive they have the best possible audio system. Period. I thi... 
Old Vandersteen model 2 vs. newer model 2
Just a thought. If tomcarr is asking a fair price for his 2CE Sig II's I would be all over that. I have owned many speakers in the price range of the 2CE Sig II and they are the top of the food chain. Speakers are very subjective but I would chara... 
Considering a new amp for my Vandersteen Quatro CT
I think the Ayre is the best of the three. ARC would be my second choice but not on your list. Had you considered mono block amps?  
Old Vandersteen model 2 vs. newer model 2
tomcarr I have not heard those 803's but the two models I have heard coming out of B&W have sounded spectacular. One was a stand mount D model.  
Old Vandersteen model 2 vs. newer model 2
tomcarr Just out of curiosity, which brand and model of speakers did you buy?

Too much going on and my fellow audiophiles PM'd me with prior commitments and/or work conflicts. It's best to reschedule in August 2022 because Fri 7/29/2022 will not work for everyone. We need at least 3-4 to join in. Sorry guys but I know milpa... 
A system for my college-bound daughter
Inna +2 Nice headphone amp + headphones (Grado, Beyer, AKG) and pair of quality powered speakers. And yes millercarbon nailed it.  
Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped?
Okay guys all great answers, some had me laughing on the floor. I do need to keep my wife, so I am just putting that out there. Also I have the understanding and reasoning to know my more recent Hi-FI gear outperforms and has much better sound tha...

I have only heard from one person interested in an audio listening session at my place on Friday 7/29/2022 in Cuyahoga Falls at 730pm. It’s summertime so I know it’s very busy but PM me before 7/28/2022 if you want to come, otherwise I will try to... 
Tekton versus Klipsch
philbarone "But I’ll tell ya one thing, I’ll never buy into hype again or listen to people on the World Wide Web whether for audio or anything else I’m spending my money on. All around it was a bad experience and the owner over at Tekton didn’t h...

SVS PB12-NSD Review
Note- I had one of these older NSD subwoofers. It stopped working after more than a few years and I contacted SVS about fixing it. They stated they would not fix it because it was an older model. I am not sure if it was because it was DC’d or not.... 
Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . .
Like some here have suggested you should have done several things before you tried the eq. First off, I would suggest demolishing one end of your house, then rebuild a room with soundproof double walls for a dedicated audio room with top notch wir... 
My Experience With Tekton
I have Line Magnetic gear purchased through a dealer and backed by Tone Imports. After more than a few years the transformer failed and my dealer and Tone Imports took care of it. That’s a big bonus buying form a reputable authorized dealer. But I... 
Tekton versus Klipsch
Speakers are highly subjective. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. I don’t usually listen to someone who complains about wait time to get speakers, how they look, how good their ears are or how terrible a speaker sounds. Conversely I don’t ...
