@russ69 , Agreed! People make to much of this room treatments stuff. If you have the right amount of absorbent and reflective common materials (ie sofa. Upholstered chairs, wall to wall or large carpet, tapestries, plush pillows, end table, coffee... 
Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains.
There are a lot of things being purposely done...it’s no coincidence. We all F’d under meat head....anyone that still has doubts is a complete A$$ and a moron.   
Dynaudio Special 40
Are you experiencing any of the cabinet resonances that Stereophile complained of?  
I am so happy.....
Blue tooth sounds great using the Topping bc3....$69. Love it!  
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno
I’d go with Klipsch, as it seems their intent is to provide the listener something that resembles a live concert. They are very efficient too. Me, I prefer a warmer speaker, as I listen to all kinds of music. If money were no object, I'd buy a pa... 
Gryphon Amp Owners: Results with AQ Niagara?
I use the less expensive Niagara 1200 with my Amp and it sounds just fine as is. I also receive many Thunder storms, so I feel better having some protection, albeit no guarantee, should I forget to unplug the Amp during a storm.   
Choosing the right SUT for my setup
@dover yes. you are correct, as mathematically it should be 470 ohms. All im saying is do Not assume that is what you are getting. You need to look at the specs... All Rothwell SUT’s are 100 ohm, the Jensen specifies 430 ohm....it is all there to... 
Choosing the right SUT for my setup

How important is spending time with your gear?
@maxwave agreed! I downsized my home theater speakers from paradigm atoms to a Tannoy system. Speakers are less than half the size of the atoms, but shockingly sound just as good.. even the sub is smaller, but has a passive radiator making it soun... 
How important is spending time with your gear?
I would feel naked, well I guess my room would without my gear physically present, lol...my wife on the other hand would love that I pack it all away into a closet, whereas I’d probably spend lots of time in said closet...😁 To me, audio gear that... 
Pass Labs vs. Sugden
@georgehifi Have you even bothered to listen to a Sugden? I'd say you would eat your words. Sugden was THE FIRST Class A solid state way back in 1967! I think they know how to build a Class A amp.....I own the Sugden A21se and it is spectacular.   
when did it all get so complicated?
It does not need to be complicated! What you need to do is take a look at the Grace Digital Link! At $179, it is a bargain for all that it does. https://gracedigital.com/products/grace-link    
Class A: Accuphase vs Pass Labs house sound?
Neither, I prefer the Original Class A innovator, SUGDEN. DOING CLASS A SOLID STATE SINCE 1967  
Onkyo has filed for bankruptcy
Never owned anything Onkyo, nor would I want to, no big loss really....  
High current power cables
