Beetlemania,I totally agree with amps and sources making a big difference!I like heavy metal bands and most of my favorites are not mixed well! My 3.7s do the best they can with what I feed them.Once in a while I’ll play a well recorded song and i...

With Thiel closed,does that make our speakers more desirable,valuable?Kinda like Trans Ams did when Pontiac died?

Jafant,I  tried a extra Nuprime class d amp that I have with my 3.7s for the heck of it,and was very impressed with the overall sound and the bass!I might want to sell my Xpa-1s and go class d.My 3.7s seemed happy with class d.Have you ever used a...

Beetlemania,The Les Pauls you mentioned are mine.I was going to sell them to go back to B&W,but decided to hold on to them for awhile?Now I have B&Ws upstairs and my 3.7s downstairs.Working well this way!My B&W system is more for movie...

Jafant,dhoff01,Thanks for kind words!I have over 20  acoustic panels that I made for the basement in reflection points.I also made bass traps for the corners.The more I added,the better the sound became!I realized I had to more my system when a gu...

Dhoff01,Glad to hear your enjoying your Les Pauls,as I am mine!Like I posted on your system page,my setup with my Les Pauls is far from perfect!I had to move them in my weight room in the basement,away from my Doberman,to avoid any problems!I am g... 
Question from newbee: misic streamer for beginners
I use a Auris Blu-me Bluetooth receiver to stream Pandora and Spotify,recommended by milpai.169$from Amazon.It has a built in dac that bested my Moon 100d.The sound quality is really good,far better than the  Rocketfish receiver and Moon 100d I wa... 
Any ideas on the Emotiva Xpa 1 Gen 2 vs other Mono or 2 channel amps?
Mancub1, I vote for Emotiva xpa 1 monos!I use a pair daily on a pair of Thiel 3.7’s,which can dip to 2 ohms!Amps don’t even get warm,sound good and are affordable.Sure you can spend more for marginal gains but I believe it’s not worth it !If they ...

Milpai,The bluMe was better than my moon 100d.The moon was receiving a sub par signal from my RF box though?Im going to try to use the 100 d in the basement on another system.No power supply or USB on the BluMe,its probably the same unit you have....

Milpai,Just got BluMe today.Just a few songs in,sounds better than I expected!My system has depth to it not there before.So far I'm more than impressed!I would think it needs break in time,but out of the box it sounds great!My system sounds more e...

Milpai,ill post something probably in a week or so,giving time to get it and listen.I definitely needed wireless for my upstairs system,so I'm happy to have options out there! 
Bluetooth streaming
Milpai,I pulled the trigger and ordered a Auris!Was a little cheaper than audioengine b1.Both had good reviews.Its got to be better than than rf box I'm using!My dac I have is a moon 100 d.Would you recommend using both the auris and the 100 d tog... 
Bluetooth streaming
Milpai,I never heard about the auris,but will check it out!Im addicted to steaming music because it's just so easy!Getting the best sound possible from it is what I'm wanting.Im sure that 40$ RF box is the weak link?

Just wanted to say how well my 1.6's are doing as rear channel speakers!I replaced a pair of Magnapan mmgw with the 1.6's and the difference in amazing!I think now I'll use the mmgw's on the garage floor to catch oil drips when I change the oil in...
