How long should speakers last?
My kid uses my old pair of KEFs. Still sound good to me. I am sure the caps could be replaced, but plugged into her Yamaha receiver it still makes good music. 
Excessive sibilance and edge....treat room?
Before I would invest in room treatment. I would borrow a speaker from a friend or maybe the dealer that you purchased the gear from and see if you still have the sssssibilance issue. Borrow a pair that is known to be on the mellower side (Sonus F... 
Legacy audio manufacturers
Oh the memories...Loved the Nakamichi decks, with all of their buttons and of course the auto reverse that spun the tape and not the head...end up buying on a couple of years ago on Clist. Also, Magnovox CD players - thinking back, it actually sou... 
Polk Audio RT2000p or LSi 25's--- WHO CARES ???
Zd542 - you are not wrong...to have special access to Agon, you must pay the super subscriber fee and submit proof of ownership of at least four items from Stereofool's Class "A" gear :)Crazy how this thread went sideways very fast and, judging by... 
Polk Audio RT2000p or LSi 25's--- WHO CARES ???

How do I smooth out violins?
A suggestion...to not assume all tube preamps will resolve your issue. Some tube preamps are not that "tubey". In my experience, certain units from Audio Research and Counterpoint sound very revealing. They will probably still be an upgrade from N... 
David Wilson must be a little annoyed...
It is all about taste, but IMHO, I very much enjoyed listening to the Q7 and the Evolution (forget which model). The Q7 were very fast but still full sounding. The Evolution presented with lots of inner detail but were also very well rounded and n... 
A market for DIY speakers on AudioGon ?
DIY speakers make for a difficult sell because it is an unknown entity. Buyers are either looking for a certain sound or brand. I concur with Ngjockey. 
How many dealers are in "your "City ?
Bakersfield - Best Buy, White Vans that sell speakers in parking lots, Apple Store, Wal-Mart, Costco. Pop +330K. 
California Audio Show- a great time
I also went to the show, but thought many of the rooms were too small. As a result, it was difficult to get a sweet spot, the sound was at times not integrated, and there was some bass issues - more than the typical show conditions which is alread... 
DIY. Whose speakers would you use?
Hi, I believe drivers, parts, and boxes should be viewed as a sum rather than parts. Example, a ribbon tweeters may be great, but its xover point my be high and requires a mid range that can reach higher frequencies. Conversely, some of the Scansp... 
Disappointing Evening
Someday I will upgrade my Bose for B&O :)
