Speakers that are good with tubes
In my humble opinion, I can't ever picture myself pushing Klipsch speakers with anything OTHER than tube amplification -- to me that combination is just a match made in heaven.  I am not that familiar with a wide variety of horn speakers, but musi... 
Please tell me the wait will be work it......my rack
This site is becoming more and more like North Korea with the actions of the Moderator’s. (Let’s see how long this comment stays up -- posted at 5:16 p.m).   I see Forum Members joking back and forth with others on this site all the time, especi... 
Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K?
If you have the money to spend, and spending it will not impact your ability to eat or pay rent, then yes, that is one hell of a deal.  However, just because it is a third of the normal retail price doesn't mean it is going to be the turntable set... 
If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over.............
Of course the band is Pink Floyd, but I go with "Animals" instead of "Dark Side Of The Moon".  I never tire of Gilmour's crunchy Strat sound on "Dogs".  
Only two tracks to test your system, forever!
@femoore12   Thanks, man. I could have gone on and on, but reined myself in! 😆   Those 5 tracks make a great playlist for a 30-minute drive, workout, or walk with the Fur GrandDogs. Glad you liked!

"Telegraph Road" -- Dire Straits "Anesthetize" -- Porcupine Tree "Blackest Eyes" -- Porcupine Tree (I get chills everything I hear Steven Wilson’s whispered backtrack in the first verse, "It’s so erotic when your makeup runs.") "Coil" and "Hei... 
So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System
@uncledemp -- "I’m glad I stopped at $950,000. From there, it’s a game of diminishing returns." I don't care who you are...that there is funny!   @jasonbourne52 -- They should have used the SR Purple fuses! Also, very funny.   @towerton... 
What's it worth to you?
@fleschler    28,500....that is QUITE an impressive vinyl collection!  It must be stunning to look at.  Out of curiosity, how many do you display at any given time and how many do you keep in storage?  Do you have them arranged alphabetically or... 
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
@curiousjim   $3,700.00 a pair  
Magnepan LRS in the house!
@richopp  Loved your story, also.  My High School best friend was (and still is) a fantastic drummer.  In the 1970's, his dad owned a Music Shop in town that rented instruments to Junior High and High School students, plus sold a complete line of... 
Magnepan LRS in the house!
@richopp  I agree with every comment you made.  I also have never thought the price tag matches the "quality" for MANY of the consumer products bought and sold over the history of commerce...especially in the automotive, electronics, and "bling" ... 
Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?
@mikelavigne    I don't know if it makes a difference, I'll be 60 next September, but will you adopt me?  Absolutely beautiful audio room.  I can't begin to fathom the experience sitting in that chair listening with the lights dimmed.  Amazing.

Fellow Members, if this is a dumb question I apologize in advance.  I've read raves about the LRS and LRS+ speakers over the past year, but I've never looked up the price.  I'm used to reading threads on this site where $20,000 and higher speaker ...

@thyname    Here is the original classic.....      
Sad songs- We love them- We need them
@waytoomuchstuff  and @tooblue,   My heart is heavy for both of you after reading this thread.  I have two boys (actually adults of 31 and 28 years old, both teachers in High School and Middle School, but they will always be "my boys"), and I ca...
