Pipe? sure Sick ghost rider, that's a nice stove "Let’s have a mandatory draft and put the rappers in the kitchen And see who goes missing"  
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
@calvinj Why not just ask Audiogon or some other chat site to add an "ultra high-end" forum? With the understanding that those haters are not welcome.

How do you add color?
@mahler123   Nothing snarky about asking something. I am sure many people will take exception with my opinion but carrying on. . . Technically, a 10" driver makes a lousy midrange. It has bad dispersion and moves too slow. So it does more of th... 
What new gear have you just bought?
