Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs?
I heard the F226Be at Rmaf this year and loved them.  They were some of my favorites at the Show.  @spookyfoot, you have some really nice speakers there!  Enjoy :-) 
Dynaudio Evoke or Focal Aria Or Paradigm Prestige
My opinion of the Prestige is that they are in deed nice!  I’ve had a ton of Paradigm Speakers.  The Paradigms are prettier than Totems, but I prefer the sound of Totem over Paradigm, unless we are taking Sig 8 V2, Tributes or Personas...For $1500... 
Dynaudio Evoke or Focal Aria Or Paradigm Prestige
@bendogo, you sound a bit confused...  You can use your current receiver as just the pre-amp (volume control) and the processor (surround sound) and buy a better amp(power) like the Anthem suggested. My advice would be to come to the darkside.  Sc... 
Hunt for new floor standers
@axspike , not sure how you fell into a rabbit hole with only 40 different, excellent choices provided in this one thread, lol!  It’s actually pretty awesome how many great choices were suggested...Anyhow, you’ll probably love the Monitors!  Reall... 
Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered?
Do you not have to adjust the phase of each sub independently? I wouldn’t think that with four subs in different locations, possibly pointing in different directions, that you would want the same phase or even the same volume levels across all of ... 
Looking for best streamer without DAC under $3500
$3500 budget for a streamer to stream Spotify?? Ummm, ok, lol.  Sounds like a serious set-up... why not use qobuz, tidal, amazon hd?  $3500 streamer and spotify go together like a 911 turbo and 85 octane 👍 
A newbie journey
Great speakers!  I had the previous generation and really liked them.  I love that this hobby can make you feel like an 8 year old on Christmas morning!  No other purchases I make bring the same excitement as unboxing a new (Or used) piece of audi... 
Speakers for Yamaha AS2100
Call Fritz!  If you ask him nicely he would probably send you a pair of Carbon 7’s to try out for awhile.  Take it from me though, you may want to be in a position to buy them beforehand.  I may shed a tear or two when these Carrera BE’s and I hav... 
Audio discounts during Coronavirus
@technick +1 great thought and suggestion.  I did the same thing with my last speaker purchase before covid.  I got such a good deal that I let the seller know he could buy them back if and when he wanted to.  It was a distressed sale. 
DAC question, help!
@bluorion,I think Parasound is great gear! It is built well and sounds very good!Peachtree is great as well!  You might want to look at a Nova 300.  Hegel is another one to take a look at.  Built well and sounds great!  Similar to Parasound in bui... 
Swarming!
Awesome!  Congratulations 😁. I have had an absolute horrid time ever trying to get 1 sub to sound good in my set-ups.  For some reason I’ve been able to set up 2 different friends systems with only 1 sub that sound great.  My brothers setup uses 2... 
Fritz LS 7: Better than WaveTouch Antero?
Yeah, I have no experience with the Anteros but I remember when wavetouch was just starting to make speakers.  I wish I had some experience with them; some people really love them! 
Fritz LS 7: Better than WaveTouch Antero?
I’m not familiar with the LS7’s but I just received a pair of Fritz Carrera BE’s today, on loan for awhile, and let me tell you, they are exceptionally good sounding speakers.  I want to spend many more hours with them before giving a full review ... 
All-in-one: $1k Marantz or $2k Hegel?
@kren006,  excellent choice on all of your components 👍.  Great thinking, all the way around. 
Why not underhung voice coil?
LoL, it appears EBM has many sleepless nights due to Audiogon threads.
