Another Dealer sets the Bar LOW
Now Maclogan is a very smart fellow. And you would be wise to take his practical advice. "written on the home demo receipt, to be FULLY REFUNDED at time of return". No demo/no deal.BINGO!btw who are ZN audio, Decware and OHM. I guess dealers corre... 
Revel or Vandersteins 3A's /Which is better?
"harmonic content"I take it ='s fidelity of the musical image.IOW fluid/neutrality/harmony of fq's/non-attacking sound.. As opposed to coarse/grainy/boomy/tin treble/tiresome after 30 minutes. . 
Great Service from Jean-Marie reynaud
Unlike Aball, I've found the french to be pretty cool about things like this. So I'm not surprised of their courtesy as gentlemen. How would the brits react at B&W ,out of warrenty? 
Does it / Do they pass the wife test? Speakers
I agree with Kr4, most speakers are butt ugly. Take a look at the Thor link provided at Madisound Audio, Not the Kit photo, the link photo. Other than the Thor's the best looking speakers I've ever seen are the entire Tyler line. 
Another Dealer sets the Bar LOW
All dealers should back up their products. If you take the speaker home, and you don't like it, they should give you back a 100% refund, WITH NO FRIGGIN HASSELS!!!IOW if I were going to buy a speaker at a local dealer. I'd say at the end of the de... 
Chinese Loudspeakers ARE GOOD
China indeed does make the best tube amps for the money, in the world.But for speakers?Never. It will never happen. In speakers the Danish are the Kings. Forever.Paul 
What's your profession? Age?
I was a gardener in Lakeview/New Orleans until Miss Katrina came along.I read siomewhere that katrina is russian and means to "clean out". Makes sense to me, being a life long resident of the city. I guess in India she would be called Kali.The des... 
Does it / Do they pass the wife test? Speakers
I convinced my wife I found a speaker that not only looks ascetically great but sounds great=non fatiguing.She said go for it, and now is in love with the Seas Thor's.Mind you it is s a kit, takes some time to put together. Other wise go for the T... 
Can anyone recommend a smooth, rich CD player?
The Cayin 15, now updated to the 17 version really delivered="smooth/rich" with their tube outs. I owned both and recently sold the 15.I paid $1K included ship last yr for the 17. 
Best tube integrated under 1500 new or used
I have great response from a Jadis Orch Refer driving a pretty difficult speaker for a small tube amp. Its a MTM speaker design and the little Jadis does wonders. However its difficult to find used at $1500, might have to go up to $1800.Just as go... 
Tyler Signature System versus Merlin VSM-MM
Evita:"the Seas are a excellent speaker but not as good as the Merlin"....If there was a Merlin dealer here in Baton Rouge I'd take my stereo over to his show room. Of course the dealer would never admit the Seas sound better. "just different, but... 
Tyler Signature System versus Merlin VSM-MM
"Merlin's more refined sound" Exactly how do you define "refined"?Cuase the Seas' speakers I have sound quite refined(fidelity=true to the exact image placed on the original medium of recording.)The B&W's I had were "grainy, rough, smoky, fati... 
Tyler Signature System versus Merlin VSM-MM
The Ty Signature, with the dual 7's and dual 8's, correct?You'll have all the punch you'll need. Just my Thors with dual 7's can fill my cathedral room with all the bass I need. I was not aware of the bass of these speakers until my wife played a ... 
Here's a challenge:a class A sound system for less
Jtgofish, most people here have money, and feel no need to look at a kit. In fact I'd guess 20% of the members here change out their speakers every 3 to 4 yrs. Look at all the used speakers on the Gon.I'm interested in the Tyler's and my have to d... 
Are these damned brands or not good speakers?
"they are EXTRA-ordinary speakers"Says who, the hyped audio reviews. Always read caerefully all reviews, comsumer comments, read it 10 X's with a microscope, read between the lines, you'll begin to notice cracks and holes in the "review" =BS.Sorry...
