Could use some help, please
Virginia and NM make no difference, post office and shipping companies go everywhere. Someone should still be able to hook Dave up with a good set of speakers that would work with his Onkyo---or at least a better set of speakers as nothing is ever... 
Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular?
Just a general comment. I can see the advantages of a speaker being designed with a particular amp in mind. However, I fail to see any advantage of housing them in the same cabinet. So the case to be made is not for the amp and the speakers to com... 
Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular?
Cdc: Good concept / bad implementation is the usual problem.But that can be said about most of the passive speakers on the market as well! Why hold it against active? 
Midrange Better Than Harbeth or Spendor?
Roxy54: I have yet to hear a speaker personally that betters either of them.Can you name the others, or at least the best among them if the list is too long, that you have heard? Thanks. 
''Manuf. warranty '' with non-authorized vendor ?
Sonicbeauty: I have come across a dealer selling gear that they claim have full manufacturer warranty on them. What if you find out from the MANUFACTURER that this dealer in question is not an authorized vendor? Would you buy anyways?Let me begin ... 
Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic
Johnk:....Horns can offer wonderful performance surpasing any other design type in my opinion.Would you feel this way about reproducing specifically strings and piano music as well? Thanks. 
Best Value Speaker Model for the Buck?
Chadnliz: The DCM speakers on demo in NYC at the show were very good for $1000.00 infact it made some of the insane prices on other speakers look almost criminal. I dont mean to say some of the more expensive speakers were not better but $50,$75,$... 
DCM speakers
Nealhood: My advice is to first set your budget, then maybe think about selecting a few...That is good advice. Myself, I am not actively looking for a speaker, just curious about the progress, especially about a few names that have a place in my m... 
DCM speakers
Bondmanp and Chadnliz: Thanks for your feedback. I would still like to get some comparative perspective. What would the new DCM's comparae with in other familiar lines, be they Proac, Dynaudio, Tyler, Silverline? Zu Druid anyone? :) Will they be a... 
B & W 603 S3 $1,000 vs. Spendor 5Se $2,000
Buy used. For $2000, you can easily get a speaker that sells new for $3000-3500. The best of that breed from Proac, Dynaudio, Salk, Tyler, etc., will probably knoock the socks off of your 603's. :) Another advantage of buying used is that if you c... 
Upgrade from Spendor BC-1: need ideas
No need to stay within the BBC family, however. I would certainly enjoy hearing about any comparison between British speakers---as an old Spendor loyalist, I sadly must say that the torch appears to have been passed to Harbeth, ATC, and Proac---an... 
Zu Druid questions
F1audio: I can only offer my opinion of the hour and a half I spent with Sean of Zu in his basement listening to the Druids. I was very impressed....enough so, that I am planning to buy a set....even though I work at a high end retailer and have a... 
Tyler Acoustics is genius.
As for sound quality to my ears, I have never heard a pair but am going to be searching them out soon.Great. If possible compare them with other well regarded brands in their price range and post a review here. All my audio life I have known deale... 
Looking for insight on the Green Mountain Europas
If someone prefers floorstanders, what's the next up from Europas in the gma lineup? 
Any interest in hearing Gershman Black Swan Spkr?
Mdrummer01: Geez...I said I look forward to hearing from him (meaning AnThuan), not from Miss Manners or the rest of Audiogon.It should be obvious that when you choose to post something publicly, it is for all to read and discuss. If you only want...
