Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K
Thank you all.  There is a lot to think about and I had a friend mention a used  pair of Raidho's.  Everyone seems to love them and equally so mock their price new.  Anyone own Raidho's and if so, what are your thoughts?  Thanks 
BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone?
Thanks for the smile and complement 1extreme125 re my child like youth......and I assure you there are many like me.  My adult side is telling me to upgrade my wifi modem and router.  I have purchased, I think, the best of breed of both and am g...

Older Electronics - When to cut bait? Your thoughts?
This is great insight especially when balancing the cost return equation for an audio purchase.  Think about it.  An amp or preamp costing $20k++ is really only good for 20sh years!  Hmmm, now even if I could afford a $20k unit I would think twice... 
Older Electronics - When to cut bait? Your thoughts?
Thank you.  I think looking (actually listening) for a wow factor with something newer makes sense.  If there is no wow, invest in the fix.....but how soon will it break again will linger in my mind....Thx 
Tubeyist sounding Pre-amp?
You owe it to yourself to listen to CJ's highly acclaimed PFR SS preamp.  It is tube sounding without the issues of tube maintenance (magic how they do it).  Stereophile rated class A all the way.  If you can find one, you can get it at a good use...
