WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value
Thanks for understanding Samuel. I've been around audio for 30 yrs and I feel my ears have a pretty good judgement. I'm known for telling it like it is. I'm straight up, if I step on toes of famous brands, sorry, its the way I am. I suspect we wil... 
WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value
Samuel I'm not attacking Wilson, I'm just stating my opinion that their speakers are some of the very worse I've heard in the past 10 yrs. Worse than Legacy, if you can believe that. That is an opinion, not an unfair attack. I've heard them. Paul 
Intergrated Amp with VR4jrs
Yes all this bunk that tubes are weak in power/bass vs ss, tubes can be just as fatiguing as ss, tubes wear out and so are costly to replace. All bunk. I have the smallest of the Jadis line, 20 watts and it drives one of the most demanding speaker... 
TAD-803 2 way speaker review
Ok lets say it has a 129.00 soundstage. I've yet to find anything in audio where you get alot for nothing. Mostly its all overpriced and as in this case overhyped. As I say I thought this forum was about fine audio, not Walmart stuff. 
TAD-803 2 way speaker review
HUGE soundstage from a 2 way???? Already you've got my skepticism and total disbelief. Now you say 129.00. Just a single Seas' driver costs more than 129.00. I thought audiogon was about FINE stereo equipment? We can leave the junk to our local de... 
WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value
Sure ol Wilson could care less about the few members here at Audiogon, what we say here will not affect their sales even at 1%. but its our OPEN freespeech forum and we can express our opinions in a friendly manner. And offer advice to others here... 
WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value
Macro, is it a sign of their guilty conscience to feel justified with their prices, or yet another another tactic to try to convince us that their speakers are priced right and so worthy of our hard earned $'s. I couldn't care at what price they s... 
WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value
I find it silly that you don't like our freedom to speak our opinions. If you don't like them, then don't buy them. Our opinions that is. See the argument works both ways.Nice day. 
Warmer sounding CD Players?
"tube-like"??? I don't get it. Either it has tubes or it doesn't. Mine does. and yes tubes are warmer/more musical.I'd put my tube cdp up against any ss player. Any. 
WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value
I heard the Wislon line 5 yrs ago in New Orleans, was not impressed in the least. They could price em at whatever, I'm not interested. Then throw in the weight issue and amkes me wonder how/who/why anyone would buy. What Mr Wilson should explain i... 
Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K.

best speaker in a small room in the $2000.00 range
How about a 2 way or 2.5 from Tyler/used. Maybe a tad more than 2K. 
Plastic ring over tweeter opinion
Can you say "more twinkle tweaking tweeter" fast 10 X's . If you can then I'll agree with that hocus pocus offered by mapleshady:-)) 
Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K.
Yeah 2006, as most manufactures have alrreday come out with their "new latest" designs. The yr starts in Jan, ends about now. 
Need a review of Tyler's Ref 3's,
LInbrooke Sig Monitors = MTM design, W17/T25/W17 = 7 inch midwoofer/Millinium Tweeter/7 inch midwwofer. But the "bass module" first off may offer more more volume of bass that I want. Most members here are in love with big/huge soundstage. Not me,...
