Considering the option of "DSP speakers"
I’ve voiced my opinions on some of the issues with room correction if it tries to correct the entire freq. band, bass to 20KHz, specifically to the treatment of the treble audio range. Another philosophical problem is that, let’s say you purchase ... 
Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
OK, seems like trolling is in vogue here. We all know of people having multiple usernames. But very few know that there are multiple people sharing the same username lols. That explains the mysterious phenomenon of why some people possess expertis...

I'll probably see if the KEF R series can come close to the magic that is Thiel, but I'm not counting on it. The magic is in the beers :-)

I have to say this thread is almost like beers but not quite though :-)

To Andy's point: New Thiel demonstrated quite clearly how a marketplace responds to non-focused strategies. New Thiel spent $10Million trying to do the standard job really well. Their tower speaker got 5 stars from Brent Butterworth and did the ... 
BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE
At $2500, I would think there are a lot of good options.  At the end, it's all about personal preferences though, especially at this price point (assuming brand new).

Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs
Also the quality of the driver also matters.  I have used Seas entry level paper cones and also some high end ScanSpeak, and the Seas sounds somewhat hollow in comparison.  Of course the Seas Excel is different altogether compared to their entry l...

Can your system be optimized to sound better for classical or non-classical?
Mr. Pass (Pass Labs) once said that stereo reproduction is an entertainment and not dialysis.  What he meant was that in a sense, whatever it takes to sound good.  I do believe if a system is optimized for rock, pop and so on, will probably won't ...
