Tyler Decade D2s: review
What drivers does the new series use? I have been away for a while and returned to find the Linbrooks gone and a new series announced but without any info at the website. 
Red herring lost in a forest of speakers, memories
Audio_obsessed_novic: I understand, we can all relate to such episodes. In my own experience the memory returns later, after I have stopped trying to remember. :) That said, you should still keep trying to "triangulate" your memory from various si... 
Red herring lost in a forest of speakers, memories
I think most people are going by your memory of a sloped design and a name like C5 or CS5. How sure are you about the name. Thiel has a model ".5" which is smaller than the rest, but its price is nowhere near your figure.It might be useful to purc... 
History on ohm A's and F's.
Mapman: The Ohms and Maggies are the only speaks I can afford that I ever found endearing when set up properly with classical music...Which specific brands did they beat out in your experience? 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Tvad makes a good point. So, Rebbi, you have already paid for the Totems and their used-market price is not going to change in a few days or weeks. So, may as well break them in fully and then evaluate them. Instead of going by initial impressions... 
Spendors SP-100 R.....anybody heard them ?
Let me elaborate on my response just two posts above, as I have been facing a similar dilemma from the opposite side: owning a Spendor (BC-1) and deciding whether to buy something else. If your original selection was good, then relative to other n... 
Spendors SP-100 R.....anybody heard them ?
You got me there, I haven't heard the "R" version, but I have heard almost every other iteration going back to the original BC-3 (I own BC-1). Those are good speakers, but considering that you already own good speakers, I tend to agree with Jaybo. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I am happy that OP is enjoying his Ohm Micro Walshes. But why put Totems on eBay rather than A'gon? :)As someone interested in comparing various brands, and it was good to hear that they bested Totems, I would be most interested to know if anybody... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Great! I shall look forward to your first impressions and later a more detailed review. 
Usd 4k speaker recommendation pls
If you basically like your Spendors, then SP1/2E is a natural candidate. Also, anything by Harbeth, Proac, and ATC. Also, consider only used speakers (and A'gon is a good source for those). You can usually resell them for the same money you bought... 
College student stuck w/ bad speakers: advise pls
I won't bother with new nor with eBay. You best bet would be to purchase used from an enthusiast site like Audiogon. I am sure will receive many suggestions. One advantage of used is that when you are ready to change, you can sell them for almost ... 
Are you buying blu-ray versions of older movies?
Alright, which Blu Ray player is the best value in the current market?OR, would it make sense to wait a few months to see the models brought out for the forthcoming Holiday season? Thanks. 
Blu Ray or Oppo?
Brainwater: Just picked up a Sony 350 Blu and am quite stunned...I can use some recommendations for "best value" and will take your statement as such. Just curious which ones you looked at, and how did you pick this one.Thanks.PS. As I read the re... 
Is KEF no longer relevant?
What many of us remember are not the speakers per se but the memories of our younger years... :) Going back to the speakers, KEF 104's belonged to the British family of sound, mainly "2 cubic feet" boxes. Directly or idirectly they all benefited f...
