| Are the Anthony Gallo Reference 3.5 still up to it? Why are you asking for "outside" confirmation? It’s meaningless. All that matters is what you think. If you still enjoy them, why bother looking for a replacement? Sounds like audio OCD. | |
| Compare B&W 804 D2 to D3 speakers You may be able to "infer" some things from published specs but the proof is obviously in the listening. Check out the Joseph Audio Pulsars if you are interested in an alternative option. Outstanding, musical "stand" speaker for around 10K. Then ... | |
| Joseph Audio Dealers in the Western US Hi Peter, To eliminate the "middle" man and keep costs down, Jeff, like others in the industry, is gravitating to "direct" sales. But if you can audition, hopefully in your system prior to purchasing, that is certainly the best option. As you ma... | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid Especially is you are a member of the "enemy within" crowd. The fear may be very real depending on the outcome of 11/ 5. | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid Here’s reality in my view. No one knows your room, your gear and most importantly, your ears and personal sonic biases.

| Are REL the most Musical Subs? Had three different REL models over the past two decades for my two channel system. Single sub set up only. Definitely a fan. Surprising no one has mentioned the substantial increase in tonal density, imaging and dimensionality with a properly int... | |
| Esoteric N01XD SE Wait a year and that model will be replaced by a "new and improved" version. That's what they do. | |
| Esoteric K03XD Does anyone see a pattern regarding the release of "new and improved" models and the time frame between the "upgraded" models? Quite different than say Luxman who releases a new CDP model every five to seven years. However, In their defense, they ... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta Despite their flaws, a really good speaker from a price / performance perspective. Buy a pair from Crutchfield. 90 day money back guarantee. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing I am a believer in listening for an extended period of time (for me two weeks minimum) so the sound of the change is somewhat "baked" into your brain and then switch back to the previous item. And it minimizes the frailty of auditory memory. There... | |
| Esoteric Amps with Revel Salon 2 Speakers I would look at Hegel or Pass Labs. Have you asked your dealer if you can do some "in home" auditioning over a weekend? That would, by far, the best option. | |
| Subwoofer for music only ? A REL T5X might be a good option to consider. Can get from Music Direct to audition with money back guarantee. |
