Fosi V3 Mono...when inexpensive satisfies
My monos are now driving a pair of Totem Tribe Towers.  To my ears, they sound fantastic with plenty of detail, separation, and bass.  I'll throw in some Pass or VTL gear once it's a bit cooler to do a direct comparison, but for me, the idea that ... 
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS
lalitk, Thanks for your suggestion.  I'd never heard that song before. Very nice!

I've never heard of Morrison speakers.  They look pretty cool. Are they a three-way with an amp for each speakers?  
Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail!
Immathewj, I feel they are heavy!  I have the 805B with an upgraded auto-bias option which I’ve not been able to find any info about anywhere.   To the best of my recollection, as I’ve not had them in my system for a while, they offer a very robu... 
Fosi V3 Mono...when inexpensive satisfies
jl35, I've got two 32v/5 amp power supplies.  So about 55 watts at 8 ohms and about 120 at 4.   mapman, isn't it kind of crazy the sound quality/price ratio of the Fosi gear?    
Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail!
You'll laugh, but here it goes: I recently picked up a pair of Fosi V3 Monos and after adding the Sparkos opamp, I heard some subtle things on some my test tracks that I'd not heard before.  Or maybe hadn't noticed before.  Some amps I've had or ... 
Fosi V3 Mono...when inexpensive satisfies
I've had three so far: Super Tablette, LS50, and Acoustic Zen Adagios. My room is acoustically treated 13x14.  Basically small and not the best shape.  
so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled.
In my experience, acoustic treatments made a rather significant improvement in my small (12x16 and 13x14) listening rooms.  Stacked GIK 244s (w/diffusion plates) in the front corners, two of the same ones on the ceiling, 244 w/o plates on 1st and ... 
Integrated Suggestions for a Garage System
Check out the Fosi BT20A for a hundred bucks on Amazon. Has plenty of power and you can stream to it.    
The Psychology Of Collecting
jimbohlman, I am with you!!!! I really miss reading and looking at liner notes and album art.  I wish streaming services had that on all their titles. To the subject at hand: I think nice collections can easily turn into hoarding when the amoun... 
If Steely Dan had a different vocalist
Vetsc5, thanks for sharing your story.  Cool to hear stuff like this. 8th-note, 8 will definitely check out China Crisis.  Thanks. mrfrito, thanks for the invite. I was listening to one of their albums driving into work this morning and I could... 
If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it?
Have never had to think about music "not" being created by a real person so this line of thinking is new to all of us, I presume.  And it's a good question. Right now, I'm leaning toward not caring whether a piece is created by an AI or human, as... 
Can a power amp have too much power, risking damage to a speaker?
Don’t you have a preamp? Just don’t turn it up.  
The evolution of Proac Tablette speakers?
I’ve tried a few different ones:  JAS Audio Array 1.2 as an amp (50 watt SET), SMSL VMV A1, a 2A3 amp and right now the latest Fosi monoblocks. I think they sounded the best with the SMSL amp.    
Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off?
I think the high end audio industry is unknown to the general public.  I spent over 22 years in the service and came across a huge number of people and yet met zero audiophiles.  Come to think of it, even after I retired I’ve come across zero audi...
