Resale value of new speakers
I had a basement flood in my house a few years back. Fortunately non of my audio gear was damaged, but the property damage to walls and flooring was fairly bad. Our insurance company came in and estimated the damage to be in the 30K range. I was o... 
Why Single-Ended?
What a great post! I have taken quite a bit away from this one, although, I must admit that a lot of it was a little over my head. It is quite refreshing to hear members who have different opinions of design, converse as politely as you all have, ... 
Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
If cupracer buys his Wilsons new, and he is, then the dealers is obligated to set up the speakers correctly in his room. It comes with the purchase price. This is Wilsons rule. 
Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
I think there have been a few posts on this thread that are, perhaps a bit disrespectful to the OP's question. It was clear, at least to me, that his choice was made for Wilsons, but just wanted HELPFULL advice on the Sashas, or Sabrinas, being ri...

@996cupracer Congrats on your purchase. I hope you will find them to be the right choice, once you have them set up in your room. Have fun with that too!! I am a Wilson owner as well, and man oh man they can be pretty frustrating to get placed cor...

Cable elevators
I recently made some from a long 3" x 3" Elm plank. cut V groves along the length, then cut the thing into 3" blocks. I hear absolutely no difference, but they really do tidy things up nicely, and for that alone, it was worth the effort. 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
HOLLY MACKEREL This thread is still rolling along!!???? WTF???? 
Upgrade sugestion please
@alfau7I I have a friend who just recently had the same speakers that you do, and he replaced them with a pair of Bryston Middle T's. He tells me that the highs, which he though were a bit much, as you seem to as well, have been rectified with the... 
Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.
+1 @randyhat Every time 
Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to:
@pokey77  You hit the nail on the head. My identity was also defined by what I listened to. I missed out on so much, due to my un willingness to acknowledge any music that was not "cool" A pivotal moment in my life occurred around 25 years ago whe... 
Wilson Audio Haters
@bo1972  You continually go on and on about PROOF of your magical mystery technique.OK them, so where is this "proof"?A direct response to the question would be appreciated.

@dlcockrum  By the way Dave, I still have not heard back from you on that Radio Shack 12 ga. speaker wire.   LOL 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
@shadorne  Funny you should bring up the Bryston viewpoint. I was chatting with Mike Pickett from Bryston a while back about this exact topic. You are absolutely correct about their stand on this matter.@geoffkait  you brought up the option of inv...

@shadorne  In regards to your last post on this thread about the cable for the Boulder amp I have a theory. It is  much broader in scope than just Boulder. I suspect that from a manufacturers point of view, any product that they are selling, regar...
