Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget
If those high frequencies bother you, I recommend getting a Schiit Loki Max. I have one in my system and it’s crucial for taming those highs on tracks where they are too pronounced. It will also make speakers that sound great to you at all other f... 
Any owners of Schitt Bifrost 2?
I have both. I use a Bifrost in my headphone rig and a Yiggy LIM in my loudspeaker system. The Yiggy was definitely worth the additional cost for me. It added noticeable detail, instrument separation, and soundstage depth.   
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!

Diagnosis Help: Left channel out, turntable ground leads crossed somewhere

Help - Thorens TD-145 Auto Shut Off Engages Immediately
The key advice on there says: “The position of the unit on the base of the tonearm that has the antiskating dial has to be at the correct angle.To move it you need to loosen the two allen screws that you would loosen to adjust the VTA.” My questi...

That’s great input, thanks!  I have laminate floors in my listening room.

Has any one tried IsoAcoustic Gaia III speaker feet on their Tannoy Stirling and felt it was worth it?  The room I have them in right now isn't the best and the bass is quite boomy and so I'm hoping that maybe some Gaias would help to tighten thin... 
Recommendations for small desktop speakers under $1500
Thanks for these recommendations. The elac is what I had been looking at before asking the question. I was just concerned with the size, but I’ll give them a closer look. Maybe it can work.   
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
I don’t know how I didn’t see this thread before, haven’t posted much anywhere I guess. I’ve had my Stirlings since August now. So happy about them! The depth and sound stage just blow me away every time I sit down and listen. They certainly i...
