Speaker Art. Bob Gross is an incredible designer, however he was lousy at marketing his speakers. The Super Clef competes with speakers costing multiples of the paultry $1300 he charged for them and his Proklain ll while not the most attractive sp... 
Basic system for living room
If you are looking to buy new I would recommend the Outlaw RR2160 integrated amp/reciever. I had been searching for an easy to use integrated for my wife to stream digital files in our living room used mostly for background music. After auditionin...

Hard to say david...every speaker I have heard in my friends room with his Exogal set up sounds really good including his very hard to drive ESL’s. The same friend went to RMAF last year and heard the R620’s with Vincent gear and said it sounded v...

Interesting comments tutetibiimperes....I had a pair of R610’s that I wanted to build a second system around and thought the same thing at first. In my small room with a Hegel H160 they did not sound that impressive to me. So I took them to a frie...

Schiit Vidar Outlaw RR2160
I picked up a used 2160 a few weeks ago on a lark here on the gon after reading the stereophile review. To be honest, my expectations were not too high but I thought what the heck the price was fair and I figured I could always re-sell it. To say ... 
Schiit not that Good?
Uh....your joking right? Honest assessment? Maybe you should look at the threads started by this poster they are all the same and then he jumps ship. I do not own ant Schiit gear BTW I was merely pointing out the obvious. Good day :) 
Schiit not that Good?
I was just reading Mark Henninger’s show coverage on the AVS forums and he stated the Schiit/Salk room sounded considerably better than the Esoteric room with $100k worth of gear. Apparently the master clock alone in the Esoteric cost $20k. No mat...
