High end speakers at low volume
Oh and my other system is TAD CR-1s driven by a Pass land 250.8.  That system can CRANK, and had heat resolution at high volumes, but doesn’t sound at all spectacular at low volumes…..  
High end speakers at low volume
Believe it or not,  have a vitus r101 mii driving a pair of Carmels.   It wasn’t my intention, but I noticed it’s the only system combination I have that is absolutely enjoyable at low levels.  The sound is complete and full. Nothing is missing.  ... 
Audio Research in Receivership.
This is a receivership, not bankruptcy.   And what it really means in a nutshell is that the creditors with secured loans are not very happy (most likely delinquent payments) and the actual management of ARC will now be taken over by the Receiver.... 
Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs
Your questionable scientific method aside, the proof is really in the pudding.  I've been using ultrasound for many, many years now (was an early convert to Audiodesk).  I always clean my LPs before playing.   On Sunday mornings, I almost always l... 
Speakers for a unique small room
I second totem in smaller rooms.  And sonus faber stand mounted speakers (Cremona auditors for example)  
What is the current retail cost of your reference system?
It is something i only talk about with my therapist.  
Ref75se
I believe it ties a lot to the fickle nature of the audiophile market.  I personally have a REF75SE, sold it, missed it terribly, and went to buy a replacement as soon as one became available.  From the audiogon listing to sale lasted less than 1 ...

What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?

2nd systems- who’s got one?
I have a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh.   Do I need professional help?  Btw, with lumin streamers, I can sync them all and pump too many watts to count through our house!  
Recommendations and thoughts for end game speakers and amps
Retailers by definition sell the brands they carry.  The advantage is you can hear the combination.  The problem with this “hobby” is without the benefit of brick and mortar stores, we can go through this crazy ritual of flipping equipment just to... 
I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.
The question and the responses just seem to prove that this is a venue for old men…..   Will this hobby survive when all the old men die off? 
ARC and Audience: Perfect Together?
I have all ARC reference and all my cables are Audience SX.   
When Everything Comes Together
Like oldhvymed, my best serious listening isoften when all my dogs join me (two golden retrieves and a yellow lab).  Best part is they never argue with me about what to listen to.  I always laugh when I see ads saying “no pets.”  Such a shame.  Do...
