Question about Class A
@audioguy85  Ever get a chance to hear Sudgen's integrated one model up from the A-21se? I think its called the i-4?  
Great speaker sounds terrible in my room?
They give you a break in time for these? .  
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
In comparison to what or perhaps I should say...who?. "Neutral", even without a demarcation from music’s fundamentals of timing, tonality and dynamics, for some, would be "less". I’ve heard the otl amps and one of my favorite topologies. How doe... 
Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference?
@rbwnc Several people have already mentioned this.  
Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference?
Several things come to mind. Firstly, where is anything made. Germany, for instance, has the highest employee wages in the world. Things coming from China (a la your first example) not so much. Secondly, what is th cabinetry construction? Certai... 
How does solo piano help you evaluate audio gear?
@ hilde45 FFS? really? You asked:" How important is solo piano recordings to your evaluation of audio equipment -- in relation to, say, orchestra, bass, voice, etc.?" I attempt to tell you that as an "evaluator" for sound, that no one instrume... 
How does solo piano help you evaluate audio gear?
I do not feel you can use "one instrument" as an evaluator of gear. Sound reproduction depends on engineering and design of the audio equipment itself. I have heard realistic timbres of an instrument coming from one set of speakers that absolute... 
Bigger and Better: Integrated Amplifiers
@mceljo Your question criteria is rather narrow for this forum. Maybe for the world. There is a validity of asking a move from any integrated to another creating a sound improvement for the listener but what the values are of that listener must... 
Bigger and Better: Integrated Amplifiers
@chorus Cleverest post here! lol. I believe the op may think this is a bigger forum than exists in reality.    
Audio Research Refernce 75se
I agree w ghasly Used to sell ARC. There should be no noise heard from that amp. Also, if you prefer clarity, reality, correct timbres and detail, Arc is tough to beat. If you like "beautiful, smooth and sublime and "weighty" or in other words d... 
Stand Mount Speakers
Don't hear too much about them and they are in few conversations. I am rather puzzled because they are some of the best stand mounts I've heard and they are the Proac D2s or D2r's  
Don’t want to freak you out…
@nonoise Now that's a very effective "audio tweak". Perhaps the best one!  
The hunt is over
@zavoto. It would be informative as to the "whys" of your decision. What coincides with your audio preferences? Some people like a lot of bass and go fishing often.  
The hunt is over
Speaking of fishing, every time I see the word "bass" as it applies to audio, my head says "bass" as it applies to the fish. Bass guitar, The double bass, bass clarinet, bass baritone It’s all about fish in my head....then my head says: "recalcu... 
Suggestions for an integrated upgrade please
For price point, I've always liked the Quick Silver stuff. Clear, with presence and able to transfer a lot of the dynamics and timbre of instruments and voice. They only recently came out with an integrated below 2K and I would be intrigued to he...
