Advice and help understanding, choosing a Widebander / Single Full Range Driver speaker?
OHM speakers are unlike any others in 3D presentation. In my opinion. 25 to 25 with the 5000. 16 to 25 with the 5015! A long time OHM owner since 82. My brother and sister have or had OHMs as well. Once you have them for a while and have become ac... 
What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio?
Around 45 years ago I won a $5 am radio selling magizines. I have fond memeories listening late into the night to stations in Chicago and NY. My first decent stereo was a 50 watt Sansui receiver and some Altec Lansing speakers at 18 and then at 20...

Thanks for the response. The 14b3 sounds better than I imagined. I have the BP17 cubed. One question on it. I find that I have to turn the volume knob to around 3 o'clock for the same volume I had with the BP25 and 14bsst which was at 1:00. Both u...

Hry shadow cat. Room adjustments are many times can be a bigger jump in equipment. I almost got the 14s1 last year but settled for the 8005 until finances would allow. I had a chance to buy an Sa10 for $4400 Last year and just couldn't do it at th...

Can't wait to here the posts on this thread. My son is thinking about getting the Vandy. I have also sent him a link to Tekton.

Restore the 700ZXL. It looks way cooler man. Its silver! My only critique of the Dragon is it is dark and you need a light source to see all the buttons. I have never actually compared those two side by side but from my readings there wouldn't be ... 
Major artists that don't have an epic song
It would vary for the individual but 7 mins would be good. There are great groups that wrote great 3 min songs. I'm discussing what artists wrote with the complexity with layering and progression of song structures that are cohesive. Of course hav... 
Major artists that don't have an epic song
No drinking or any kind of mind altering substance. My take on what defines an epic song is one that starts slow and is long and has an over the top section somewhere towards the end. Steve Miller Band and the Romones.

"Stranglehold" by Ted Nugent 
Major artists that don't have an epic song
