Need Amp recommendation
$500 or under will be tough. If you are patient and willing to stretch just a little, the Parasound A23 can be found for $600 or so.  An Aragon 2004 will drive them just fine and can be had at your budget if you are patient as well. The issue wit... 
RIP Tommy Obrien - Cherry Amp
I saw that thread and was both shocked and saddened. I purchased a pair of 3 Cherry King amps from him just a couple of months ago. He was always a pleasure to talk to and deal with. I wish his children comfort and peace.  
Default standard for speaker "sensitivity" measurement listings? Anechoic? In-room? Other?
When I look at the measurements on the Salk site, none of them show anything below 200 hz. He may well be using a measurement method something like lonemountain describes. That is to take nothing away from his speakers, because I have found them t... 
RIP oregonpapa
Very sad news. RIP Frank.  
SET Shootout China VS The USA
Then make a critique, or insulting comment. Not til you actually heard them live. Hearing something live has never stopped you from critiquing other speakers such as Vandersteen, Wilson, Dali, Zu, Tekton, etal. In fact, you have made that prono... 
Short list of musical subwoofers
Missioncoonery, yea kind of like we get the message that you don't like Tekton either, like 600 or 700 posts ago.   
High Fidelity Sound Speaker
Based on the latest video, and pretty much all of the others you have posted, you clearly have a love for a lot of sibilance. I am not sure which is worse, all of the splashy, spitty, sibilant sound, or your incessant rambling over the top of the ...

I have 2 more experiemnts to make $300 and $100 and I;m done, Dont hav to spend, (waste) one more single cent in speakers ever again in my hobby. = I;’m not on the speaker-merry-go-round. You have been saying this same thing for months, yet h... 
Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
@hickamore  I am guessing that you have a set of Legacy Signature SE. I have a custom set that I expect to get from Legacy within the next couple of weeks. I ordered the GAIAs for them ahead of time from Paragon. I would not expect them to keep t... 
Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
@hickamore  If you order GAIA from a dealer, just let them know you need the M12 thread adapter. They can get it for you from Isoacoustic. It shouldn't cost any extra.  
High Fidelity Sound Speaker
Im not hearing any distortion whatsoever in either Davidlouis. Net zero distortion.  Based on your videos, it would seem that there are only two possible answers.  A.) You don't know what distortion sounds like. B.) Your hearing stinks.    
Where the heck are all these manufacturers coming from!
The OP would have really enjoyed Coconut Audio.  
Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound
speaking of highs I would t think the Tekton’s must drill your ears.  I we have a beautiful living room and my wife would kick me out if I came home with Tektons.  I am trying to decide between Focal Kanta’s and Paradigm Persona 3’s.  I like Pers... 
Nobsound springs - load range
@ryder  Why not try one footer centered at the rear with 5 springs on it? There are manufacturers such as Esoteric that have only 3 factory installed footers under their disc players.  
Capital Audiofest 2021 - Eikon Audio Room
I heard the Image 1 at Axpona a couple of years ago and liked them.....a lot. One of my favorites there. Sadly, they are out of my price range. They use a version of the Wavelet system that Legacy uses with their speakers. If the FRS compares favo...
