Beyond Boutique Speakers
I have listened to many of Ty's speakers at shows and have owned the Taylo 7u and the Linbrook Supertowers. The Taylos were my least favorite of them. I really liked the Supertower. At shows I have heard multiple speakers in the Decade line, Woodm... 
Poor Fritz
@decooney Great post. I am guessing that the margin is small. On top of all of those things, you get the occasional customer like a certain one that everyone here knows. You know, the nightmare customer that no one wants to have to deal with. The ... 
Eddie Van Halen Rest In Peace
Incredibly sad news. He changed rock and roll forever. Time to go put on the ST album. 2020 can't get over with soon enough. 
Legacy Concert Master?
Doug, those midrange drivers are very similar to what is used in both Aeris and Calibre. All of the drivers are used in at least one speaker in the Legacy line up. 
Legacy Concert Master?
It sure looks like one of theirs. It uses drivers seen in other speakers in the line up. 
Member Almarg passed away last night
His knowledge was exceeded only by his kindness. Truly one of a kind and he will be deeply missed. 
“BLOCK” Function?
When I run into someone especially noxious, vindictively reactive & frequently so, I very occasionally use the nuclear bomb. It's this:Rudeness is a very weak man's imitation of strength. +1 for this. It is rampant on this site now. The maj... 
Seas Thors New Xovers Madisound
I said the same in another thread. You can get a glimpse of the systems potential, but the room needs to be fixed. You will never truly hear what the mods or your system is doing until the room is taken care of. 
Update on Audiogon Member Almarg
Al could always be counted on for great advice delivered in a thoughtful and considerate way. How great could this place be if more people behaved like him? Best wishes to Al and his loved ones in a truly trying time. 
Danny Richie "fixes" the Linkwitz Arion loudspeaker
@clio09  @russbutton Count me as another that finds fully active speakers to be the way to go. I have fully active Legacy Calibre with crossover duties handled by the Wavelet processor. 6 channels of amplification and lots of ability to adjust and... 
Danny Richie "fixes" the Linkwitz Arion loudspeaker
After listening to your videos about the cables you recently purchased, it is obvious you seriously need to put some effort into your room acoustics. You may find that the problems you think you have are not from your components, but from your roo... 
Integrated amp suggestions.
@erik_squires How do the Luxman and Ayre house sounds differ from each other? I am interested in both brands but have not had the opportunity to listen to either. How does a brand like Simaudio compare to both? 
Accuphase E-470
What is the real problem with having a power transformer in the house for this purpose? If it is rated to supply the correct amount of current to the amplifier, why would it matter? There are step up and step down transformers all over the grid. I... 
Mirage Speakers?
I owned the bigger brother 760s many years ago. Good speaker, but I wouldn't give more than about $150 for the 460 now. They would be worth more than the rest combined, so I would say no. I went from the 760 to the M5si, which I owned longer than ...
