| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) I agree with the OP. Once you’ve experienced OB’s you’ll never listen to a box again. Fact is, my first set of speakers were boxes but featured a Heil AMT. I enjoyed them immensely. Since 1980 I’ve owned electrostatics. In 2010 I discovered OB’s m... | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s I’ve a Samsung KS8000 bought in 2016 that’s used in my main room. It’s worked flawlessly for 6 years and still going strong. I’ve also got an OLED E6 that I bought in 2017 that’s rarely even used in the bedroom along with an Oppo 203. Great pictur... | |

| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery Back in 1997, when I joined, this place and Audio WEB, were simply very kewl! This place has changed a lot since then. But after 24 years I accept it. It’s only the internet. Don’t take anyone too seriously. | |

| What Makes your System Special? Well, I own it, meaning it’s paid for. Mostly bought used, saving lots of money. Most expensive were Martin Logan Summits, bought new. But all Class A Plinius, and Threshold gear and a few tube integrated’s. It’s all the audio I need. As Eastwood ... | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? About 9000. I’ve been collecting since 1973 during a stint in the Navy. The Navy Exchange sold new for $5 a pop back then. During 9 months on Guam we bought a ton of albums. Mostly a 100 70’s RnB and the rest are jazz. We can’t get enough jazz you... | |
| Do you care about car audio? Upgrade car audio? Heavens no. Most car systems have gotten pretty good in the past 15-20 years. And I don’t need subwoofers in the trunk because I only listen to jazz. I’m good! |
