B&W D3s have landed
Visited the Magnolia in Scottsdale, AZ yesterday to see and hear the new D3 line. I hadn't been to this particular store in probably 10 years, they really took it upscale (not surprising given the neighborhood and demographics) The listening room ... 
Wow .... €50K Headphones ... What next
Every $100,000,000+ home has color and smell of human of blood and flesh. Come closer and feel it.So do the iPhones in everyone's pockets. 
Wow .... €50K Headphones ... What next
I'm with you Onhwy61. When a single Modigliani sells for $170+ million, to a former taxi driver turned billionaire, $50K for headphones seems par for the course. $50K headphones are like $100 hamburgers...pricey, and not something I'd spend my mon... 
With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
Those Aries Cerat Gladius are beautiful - never seen those before. Best part about threads like this - discovering new toys. 
Harbeth vs JM Reynaud
Fantastic, went into it thinking of two brands, discovered something else along the way. Isn't it great when that happens...I bet you love those Omegas, congrats! 
Hot off the press: Yggdrasil review
@Grannyring, I don't look at someone's activity level on a forum and use that as an indicator of their intelligence or experience, but YMMV. And I welcome dissenting experience - I simply prefer that it be of the firsthand variety, but again that'... 
Hot off the press: Yggdrasil review
You're making my point, Grannyring. No, I don't approve more of the Audiophile reviewer's ears. Just as I hope nobody on this forum decides to buy, or not buy, an item because you know three guys with "good ears". I'm sure you'll agree that as hea... 
B&W 'New' 800 Series
@Jkalman, if the number of pharmaceutical ads on TV these days is any indication, I'd say you're right!All kidding aside, according to the CDC more than 20% of all Americans is on 3 different prescriptions, and more than 10% is on at least 5. That... 
Hot off the press: Yggdrasil review
Grannyring, something about your post doesn't sit right...First, you know well that Schiit sells direct, so there are no dealers where people can "listen before buying", unless they get lucky and know someone else in their city that bought one. So... 
B&W 'New' 800 Series
Bo1972, if I thought it was a simple typo, I wouldn't post a correction but since you did it multiple times I'm thinking the help is needed...The proper term is "toe-in", not "tow-in". "Tow-in" is what you get when your car breaks down on the free... 
Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ?
Tbg, yes I'm sure they do lack the bass that the BMC Arcadias put out! That's like saying the Ford F150 lacks the carrying capacity available in an 18-wheeled tractor trailer :-) With two 11-inch woofers per side, and weighing 200 lbs each, I'm qu... 
Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ?
I just posted a review of my BMC PureVOX, which I've now owned for a few months. They were off the beaten path for me, stepped out on a limb and gave them a shot and I'm elated with them. My previous experience was with a lot of B&W, Proac, So... 
BMC PureVox Feedback
I wanted to follow-up on my original post, about the BMC PureVOX speakers. I pulled the trigger on a pair, and have had a chance to live with them for a while and wanted to offer feedback for other prospective buyers.The PureVOX replaced a set of ... 
Why not speakon?
My BMC Purevox speakers offer both connections, 5-ways and Speakon connectors. 
Paradigm Titan v3
Not an idiot question at all. Here's what you need to ask yourself...before you blew them, how delighted were you with how they sounded? If you loved them, and miss their sound, then $120 isn't a bad expenditure to get them back. If you have no re...
