Member Almarg passed away last night
Just saw this sad news.  Almarg was the most knowledgeable gentleman, always willing to go to great lengths to help us all.  When he entered the thread we all would take notice, and be prepared to read His writings carefully- and often times more ... 
REL T/9i or S5
One of the nicer subs I found in that range the Rythmik F12G.  I owned a S/3 for 4 years and tried T-9 lent by a friend for 2 weeks.  The Rythmik is worth looking at. 
Thinking about getting a R2R DAC
@decooney Thanks brother I agree.  They all make fun of some of my journeys, but in the end I love hearing my wife sing and my kids dance.  One other thing that the op might want to pay attention to is power supplies. I added a quality external po... 
Devore Fidelity vs Devore Fidelity
@ruff2001 I've always received answers to emails from him.  There's a very active Facebook page for Devore speakers too.  That might be a more concentrated group to ask.  
Thinking about getting a R2R DAC
I did a blind shootout between the Mojo V2x and the Orchid and my updated Ayre QB-9 Twenty.  I kept the Mojo- my wife and kids liked it best too.      
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
Maybe the Audiogon servers kept crashing a few weeks ago because someone revived this thread! Thanks for this post Prof.  Please share with the group some of your favorite synth albums please. 
Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great
I like to rattle the mailman’s dentures out. 
More money toward better speakers or a better DAC?
Dual subs! 
Rel vs the world
Haha yes we love to defend what works especially when we lay our hard earned money.out.  I for one can tell you that the SVS SB3000 beats the Rel S/3, but that's in my room and my opinion.  @deep_333 thanks for the detailed response- the only thin... 
Why so many Hegel's for sale?
I don't know about Hegel but some manufacturers require investing in the whole product line to become a dealer.  Some dealers will sell off the unwanted products as demo or open box reinvest elsewhere or pay bills.  I think this accounts for some ... 
Rel vs the world
deep_333 have you had the opportunity to compare the Rythmik to SVS?  I just came off a 3 month dac shootout and am focusing on bass now.  I value tuneful and tight bass but occasionally like to let loose and rattle the bones.  The specs on the th... 
Rel vs the world
I've owned the Stadium 3 and S/3 and now a SVS SB3000.  I like how SVS uses an app to dial it in, plus it goes subsonic, which is nice.  I like the sealed box my system.  I would like to know which @Audiorusty thinks has the most chest thumping sl... 
Ayre QB-9 upgrade
Yes they will- they charge $1500 plus around $6 for a new box.  They cover return shipping.  Took 2 weeks from door to door. 
Floor standing speaker recommendations new or used, $10,000 and under
That’s good.  I also wasn’t using my reference Bluetooth. 
My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers
Revealing is an amateur term for a dissatisfaction that the user doesn’t quite understand.
