Help me pick a new pair of speakers
I had a pair of D2's and really enjoyed them. Great speaker. If you don't mind something a little older keep your eyes open for a pair of Verity Parsifal monitors too.   
Is this a scam?
Never dealt with that one. Tell him you will send his deposit and your items to me. I will be the escrow agent.  
Has something happened to the Whatsthebest audio forum?
Maybe your wife has been using the parental controls.  
Anybody watch Steve Huff audio on the Tube?
He's blown away by everything. I've watched a few and he's far too verbose about nothing for me. That said anyone can make YouTube videos but the real skill is in getting the traction so good for him. At one point he was sure to say that he wasn't... 
Fyne Audio - New Speakers Displayed in Munich
It's easier to find information on Area 51 than to figure out where the Tannoy factory is located. Good for the Fyne guys for jumping off that ship.     
Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?
Maybe if people didn’t buy $200 headphone amps and burn up rare tubes for mediocre sound we wouldn’t have this problem LOL. They'd be much better of with a $3000 power cord.

You have a better chance of finding a dispensary sale. Well, maybe not you mountain and west coast kids.  
Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?
We need American tubes. Any word on new production? I hear it’s a business that attracts rich single women. How about smugglers with large aircraft on the site? I’m out of ideas.  
What is this term 'analytical' ?
Some amp and speaker combinations are poor matches for me. I’ve had combinations where there was far to much control over the speaker. It took the rhythm out of the music and made it sound mechanical. There are those that prefer this type of syste... 
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno
I’ve had great success with hip hop and electronica with verity speakers. Those sun bass cabinets are really well made and tuned. Verity midrange is second to none very punchy especially in the newer models.   
Spendor D9.2 Run In
I’ve owned speakers with so much midrange presence that they would make my ears ring even at low volumes. The trend towards making everything sound “live” can sometimes come with punishment on all but the best of recordings or extremely well selec... 
Spendor D9.2 Run In
I had the D7 for a while and the mids were pronounced but I wouldn't have used the word blare. The tweeter was a bit annunciated in the presence region. Any comparisons to the Volti's?   
SVS sub owners, Past and Present
I had to use the Russound adapter because my tube amps don’t have sub outs. The SB3000 beat my Rel s/3 and s/5 with many speaker combinations. All my mains have gone to the low 30’s or below. I prefer to use subs to fill under 30 only. One you get... 
Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please
The way I look at it (YMMV) is if you can swing a quality set of speakers that plays into the 20hz region you are way ahead of the game. A speaker that has good material and integrates well will run you near $20k new (YMMV). At this point you have... 
Best audiophile earwax removal system?
Those screw things are a sham, scam, scamola. Your better off rolling up a $20 sticking it in your ear and lighting it on fire. YMMV.
