I live in Denver, there's barely ever heavy wind here (or where TMR is).  The Springs must be particularly bad.  Boulder gets those crazy winds once a month or something.  We used to have to go get our stuff from three houses down the block when I...

How could 100 Watt class a has more head room than a 300 Watt amp Class AB

Best speakers for max. $3000?
I heard some spatial audio speakers at the tweek geek's house at a Colorado audio society event and thought they were very nice (Spatial Audio X3 Open Baffle System w/ Beyma AMT). I've also considered what I would do for similar money if I ever ne... 
Phonostage Recommendations for my PS Audio + Thiel setup
Did the PSA phonostages ever make it out to the dealer network?  If so, the dealers are all liquidating their PSA stock over the next month.  I was getting very good deals (~60% of retail) from https://www.highperformancestereo.com/ before the liq...
