What Do You Get When You Spend Megabucks?
Agreed :)The examples given leave little doubt on the performance end, but there are several other options that are good enough to fall into the "subjective" choice category. Even $6000 Quads can do what they do as well as any speaker on the marke...

Ideal Manufacturers for your local hi-fi shop...?
Your brand selection is 90% all wrong, if you're focusing on multi channel then why are you're selling the wrong speaker systems and your amplification choices are basically only competent 2 channel solutions.Put some more thought into it, right n...

" don't think anyone could seriously question the overall quality of these latter systems, but they would in no way approach the state of the art."You're 100% wrong.Money Guarantees nothing, clearly this site proves this out.And I can think of sev...

Best active crossover?

Crossovers
If you pay me, I'll put it into laymans terms. $200/hr.Should take 10-12 hours, to get you the basics so you can build on that foundation.What you're asking is so broad and vast that quite literally I have offerred you a bargain. Crossovers are ab... 
Classe 101 vs. McCormack DNA125: opinions?
No contest, the McCormack is better in everyway. Although some may argue this point the Classe's don't hit their stride until the 201 in this series.McCormack is a solid amp that is very neutral if not a little dry but certainly has no system brea...
