Seeking horn array loudspeakers with a maximum price of $17,500.00 per pair.
Volti Lucera owner here, formerly a Klipsch Heritage guy. I love my Luceras, and no way are they grainy, or lacking in the low end. It was a pleasure dealing wth Greg Roberts at Volti. I got to select the veneer (Paduak), and he got them done and ... 
Big Jazz Band Music with Great Sound
Gunhild Carling, the Swedish Queen of Jazz. New Orleans style jazz. She plays a lot of instruments. She gets a mean growl with her trombone!

So @jbhiller, what did you get? We need an epilog post for cryin' out loud.  
New Volti Speaker - Lucera
I've had them for a week and only have about 8 hours on them. They are a masterpiece of audio art and function. Heavy at 110 lbs each, once I got them into position, first listen was a real delight. Coming from a mint pair of Klipsch Chorus II's, ... 
Freight Movers?
Estes did a fine job and were very communicative. Highly recommended. My Volti Lucera’s arrived with no issues.   
Musical Fidelity M6SCD vs Technics SL-G700M2
@tony1954, you're right. I'm done laptoppin' and am going to get an Aurender N150. Thanks for the advice. Took me a minute to face the Truth, man.  
Freight Movers?
Estes is delivering my new Volti Luceras tomorrow. From TN to CA. They have a good tracking system, and I've been texted, and even called to set a meetup delivery time. I'll report back tomorrow.   
Musical Fidelity M6SCD vs Technics SL-G700M2
@052rc thanks for your insight and explanation. I'm just a hi-fi enthusiast, so I haven't dug deep, I know I should learn more.  The MF seems like a good choice in that price range. In my earlier years, I had Sansui (2000A), then Marantz (2245) ... 
Schiit Lokius 6 band equalizer - in use observations
Another Lokius fan here. I first tried in in my head-fi system (black), and like it so much, that I got another one (silver) for my hi-fi system. I don't know why I didn't do this before...it really is useful and dead quiet.   
Yamaha CD-S2100 CD/SACD Player
Well, I had the S2100 checked out at Tap Electronics, Buena Park, CA. It was given a deep dive by Sal, and it checks out fine. What a relief. So the whole drop-out streaming issue has apparently been caused by the Steinberg driver. They recently ...

Yamaha CD-S2100 CD/SACD Player
I have a CD-S2100, it is having problems locking to the DAC source. I get dropouts constantly. At first, I thought is was my wifi, but have determined it is my beloved Yamaha unit.  Anyone else experience this? I am going to contact Yamaha Suppor...
