Odyssey Khartago ES or PS Audio Stellar S300?
Odyssey.  I prefer the class a/b.  The odyssey will be more reliable.  The odyssey will be more musical in my opinion.  Thats what class d has always lacked for me.  The ps audio will have great bass, perhaps a bit dry and blah.  The odyssey shoul... 
Speakers The single most critical component
I guess Im not everyone.  I read the Title, any consolation prize? 
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
Speaker cables make a  ig difference.  Just disconnect them if you don’t agree and tell me what you hear 
What are Your Favorite Tweeters?

EQ / Dsp... Who’s using them?
Thanks Wolf_Garcia!  I’m planning on getting a loki mini plus once they available.I kind of get what was said about the eq’s or dsp robbing the soul.  Hard to explain but for me, eq’s and dsp sound better but I lose some openess and transparency.A... 
Options for integrateds for Ohm Walsh Tall 2000s?
Check out Belles Aria integrated. I have one and like it quite a bit.  I had an AnthemI225 right before it. The Anthem is a heckuva amp for around $600.  They have great power and sound pretty good.  If anyone has one and is interested, I have 3 S... 
I just bought a Steinway which sounds like a banjo.
I thought there was only one Kenjit... 
Headphones
I just got Sundaras and love them! I would also look at 6xx and beyerdynamic dt 1990 
Someone please talk me out of this
Im with the others that say get ‘em and keep the ones you like better.In many ways, my Kef XQ5’s were more enjoyable than LS50’s.  The LS50’s were amazing and were extremely clear, open and detailed. The XQ5’s sounded big, full, rich and for most ... 
Integrated Amp for Dynaudio Special 40
I like my Belles Aria quite a bit.  Its only 75watts but I think its a stout 75 watts.  It has a silly damping factor too; can’t remember exactly but I do remember seeing it in the owner's manual and being pretty surprised at how high it was.  The... 
First HIFI system
Kef LS50 wireless ii. 
Someone please talk me out of this
Well you’ve had both, which do you prefer?  Maybe buy the207/2’s, do a shootout and sell the pair you don’t like better!I am shooting from the hip here but the references should be more open, detailed and have razor sharp highs.  The 207/2’s are f... 
Listening to open-backed headphones and speakers simultaneously?
No no no.if you want headphones just sit 3 feet in between them atc’s and point them directly at you.  Your wife will realize you’ve finally lost it and ease up on you. 
What is a reasonable discount from MSRP from a local dealer?
LoL... I was just thinking about this the other day.  Theres a well known site that I wonder if they just mark up everything so that they can then lower the price and sell in on sale. Just about everything he sells is on sale and at an enticing di... 
If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile?
Nice thread!  My favorite speakers so far are MBL and they sounded awesome all over the room.  I’ve never tried Ohms but should have; just hard to come by preowned where I am.  I agree with Mapman about the LS50’s.  Those and the R100’s I had, had...
