Prdprez, do you speak from experience? What stands are you using now? In the past? That will help frame this discussion.

A well built stand is nothing special. It's not rocket science.Prdprez, spoken from personal experience? Conjecture? I personally believe in mechanical grounding and its positive effects on a system. I use a stand mounted speaker where the stand/s... 
How to get the impact of a live concert?
Thanks for the thread Ralph.and that most elusive part--a sort of baseline energy in the room even during the silent passages.This is the substance of it. Nicely described....

Understood Jtinn. Bravo

Jtinn, are the drivers modded Wavecors as Vapor is insinuating?Charles, side by side testing with or without measurements has merit and is probably worth more than off the cuff show impressions. If u read through the entire thread link above, you ...

Very good advice.The whatsbest thread is pretty divisive. Most speaker's do not measure well like electronics, but it would be interesting to see the Micros measured and compared to the Magicos....

I did indeed rejoin the club. Good to be back. Grannyring, start saving those pennies....

I agree with Hifisoundguy. If you can even remotely approach the sound a good panel with a cheap box then you are cooking with gas. Panels have never been practical for me, and thus I have sought out boxes that approach their openness and speed. I...

Another "hot" new speaker to add to the list is the Vapor Audio Cirrus. Uses the Raal tweeter. Would be interesting to compare the two. Runs under 4K and hand built in the USA by one dude....

Jtinn, why did you decide to outsource production? Hearing that was a tad disappointing.Are the drivers truly custom or are they modded stock drivers? If they are modded drivers, what exactly was modded? 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
After all, the loudspeaker -- even a good one -- is the most egregious contributor of distortion of all the gear in the chain, and it functions into an acoustic space interface that further influences it.Absolutely true. That's why so few speaker ...

Chuck, no worries. I BELIEVE in cabling. The influence of well executed cabling on a system can be profound IMO. Gary likes the CH product, and he has heard and owned a LOT of cables. Craig, keep up the good work. 
Review: CH Technologies X15 power cord Power cord
Final thoughts:Craig, although you seem to discount research or use of alternative conductors since "science" has already determined what is adequate, I find this area most interesting intellectually. JPS and Teo have both taken stabs at this with... 
Review: CH Technologies X15 power cord Power cord
Okay. Let's try this again.We don't think anything other than the most conductive materials are "meaningful" in designing a perfectly transparent audio cable. Those metals are known. Playing around with "special" alloys doesn't appeal to us. In ou...

What they measure is not jitter. It IS time errors.One contributes to the other and are synonymous in audio parlance, right? Teasing out the definition is not germane to the topic at hand and seems like digression to me. The Nordost/Vertex contrib...
