~$4,000 home theater + music system?
Auxinput: here is your quote, "the PSB speakers are very warm and full in the midrange, but they are warm and soft sounding and will not have the clarity of the Snell (this is due to the polypropylene drivers used for midrange and bass). Don’t ge... 
Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5
Bo I have to agree with some of the other poster, you make specious claims without even hinting at what your process is.We have been setting up high performance systems for 30 years, there are really very few setup gurus out there and those that a...

Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe
Thyme often the path less traveled will get you the results you are after, Borrow all the amps that you can and see if switching out the amp does what you want it to.Many times we have seen a better match occuring with brand mixing than keeping al... 
Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe

LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR
