Verity vs B&W
Verity. No comparison in my opinion. Go listen to your 10 favorite tracks. Smoother, more detail, better mids, more dynamic. Hard to believe you are caught between these two speakers because they are pretty different. What else have you heard or w... 
Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?
Larrybou, what have you learned from this thread? Any insights? 
Sexiest Speakers
I am very surprised that someone hasn't mentioned Ohm as the sexiest speaker. Shocked actually. Not my 100th choice either. 
Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?
I love Verity. I've cycled through many of the above and they sound the best to me. Even up against the marketing machine companies like Wilson or Magico I think Verity shines. If I had real money I would probably own Rockports.I'm curious to lear... 
Apartment Drama
Tell them you have a hearing disability and would like to get a subwoofer. Bring them in and go on line and see if they like Wilson or Magico. If you throw a whole bunch of confusion at micro managers they tend to go away. Once they find out they ... 
Help me find WARM speakers a la Sonus Faber
The Verity line is just musical. I've owned several pairs. I've worked for a few dealers and when the opportunity came up to upgrade for free to a Wilson or Magico, I've always held onto the Verity's. 
The most rich music database.
Single, I'm not following your recommendation. The only real electronica site that I see there is magnatune and it won't open. Am I ding something wrong?Czarivey, I was a Manhattan kid listening to club and electronica, acid jazz, r&r, as it w... 
Why do McIntosh come with cheap plastic remotes?
It should be made of titanium and have mini-me meters with an option to turn them off. 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
Luxman, Ayre, Nordost, Verity. Two years stable. If money were no object I would surf higher on the Luxman wave. 
Nordost QB8
I have the QX4 and QB8. I'm not sure about my configuration but have the manuals if you want me to look at the recommended setup. That's what I went with. 
Nordost Dawn LS Series Speaker Cables
When I changed my cables from Frey 1 to Frey 2 my dealer threw in a couple sets of Red Dawn 2 interconnects. I found them very close to the Frey 1. I had them both connected to my dac (1 was XLR the other RCA). The only thing that skewed my abilit... 
Rembering the 80s: College Rock
The NYC dance clubs were fun in the 80's. 
Can audiohile be done on the porch
My tree house system is approaching $30k and the sound is getting very good. Only problem is the McIntosh meters attract mosquitoes. 
Fake RRP on cables. A Joke
Just did a search 3/10/14. Vin2000, audiogon member selling Nordost cables due to financial hardship. Who buys a 3k speaker cable before going into financial hardship 30 times each year? He's a shady dealer or has a connection and is making $300 t... 
Anyone knowledgeable on the Mastersound 300B SE?
Awesome amp. I had one in my house powering a pair of devore super 8's and later a pair of nines. 24 watt's with not too much to double down on so be careful to pair with the right speakers. Smooth, detailed, full of bloom but not a dull bloom. Be...
