Speakers least affected by room acoustics
Don’t compromise.  Look up Vicoustic Flat Panel and Cinema Round absorption products.  Gorgeous looking and very effective.  Oh, and relatively inexpensive for the performance benefit you get not only for sound, but as a living space as well.  If ... 
Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide!
@mattmiller  -- you haven't even heard the Focal 906 or 926 have you?  Don't lie....@kansas400 The 726 are nice, but honestly the Arias are considerably better. 
Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide!
I agree with your assessment that the 906 competes very favorably against the Special 40 (which I also like).  In this case, I'd go 926 allllll day over the Special 40.  The 926 is also the perfect speaker to get a really nice "full range" sound i... 
Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more?
@audiotroy In our viewpoint if for example you go to a Wedding with a Live band full of brass instruments like horns, trumpts etc it hurts your ears, shouldn’t you want your system to sound like a mirror of what is really there? Isn’t the idea to ... 
Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response
Use the Yamaha for now, and get a Peachtree nova 150 or 300 (depending on how loud you listen and how much bass content your average choice of music has) to run the front two in Home Theater Bypass mode.  That way you have a simple two channel ded... 
Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
There is absolutely NOTHING special about the Adantes.  Not for the money, nothing.  AudioTroy, I’m sure once you realize they won’t sell for you, you will be desperate to sell the demos.Deny it all you want, or worse, make yourself an absolute fo... 
Focal Kanta No.2 speakers - any thoughts? Also in comparison with Sonus Faber Olympica 3s?
“The Focal Kantas seem more of a lifestyle range geared toward millennials, so I'd be careful, you are paying a lot for the looks and comparably priced speakers may outperform them by quite a margin.”Unbelievably stupid assumption.Also, focal spea... 
My exp. with Focal Sopra No.2 , Harbeth 40.2, Passlabs XA30.5 and Hypex NC400
Wall hanging some rugs, or book cases filled with books....for someone who acts like such a high end snob -- it’s amazing that you use guesswork for THE most important aspect of sound after speakers (maybe before?). Maybe you should try to learn a... 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
The Focal Kanta no2 and Paradigm Persona 3F are absolutely my picks at the $10,000 price point.  The Kanta is one of the most forward thinking visual designs I have ever seen, and they have the sound quality to match.  They are extremely musical a...

nugat:  perfectly stated.  Unfortunately, everyone on here will disagree.  This place is full of people who let their brain get the best of them and don’t understand the most basic aspects of human brain psychology. 
Phasing
I mean....  maybe at least let us know what speakers they are?   
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
......oh my lord. 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
The versions at Axpona were quite different from what the production versions are.  Although, they are supposedly improved since then.  Mainly a new tweeter. 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
You simply have to be joking... 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
Dave and Troy - just out of curiosity, do you guys consider the average speaker to sound great (80-90% if it’s full performance) with almost any amp/preamp/etc, or do you truly believe every speaker is like this Adante, where you (supposedly) have...
