I'll go read that.  I'm sure I will agree with him as I know what I personally feel accuracy is.  Thanks a ton for that post. 
Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K)
I believe he already purchased.  In reading this thread it's funny since the work accurate means nothing in audio.  It's totally different to different people.  Some go by measurements, so go by listening, some go by emotion alone.  It's the way i... 
Vandersteen Treo CT vs Mag 3.7i speakers
Funny as they are different speakers in so many ways, but Vandy's are so open, they compete with Maggies in the area's that Maggies do best, but then you get the things that Vandy does that Maggies just can't and that put it over the top for many ...

Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
I can honestly say the N10 is the best server I've heard to date and that includes some of the mega computer based servers.  I have a buddy who is doing a shoot out of servers and has had everything from Boulder down in his room and said the N10 i...

Troy, if you read my original post and saw my last line 'Thought it was a fun read.  That is all. :). Happy Thanksgiving all." then you'd realize that it was just a fun little read.  There are tons of great values left off since no mag or online p...

Thanks for that great positive input Russ.  Seems like you have it all figured out for us all.  No need to look at anything else.  I've never heard a monkey coffin, so I guess I can't comment on those, but for MY ears in MY system, the Vandersteen... 
Vandersteen Treo CT vs Mag 3.7i speakers
True dat.  I personally like diffusion more than absorption in so many instances.  I think all too often folks make their rooms deader than they should be.  All to often diffusion will keep the room alive while stopping any problems you may have. ...

I have heard Trinity a few times and LOVED it.  Just a great musical piece.  Played through large Rockports and Naim amps.  Not a big Naim fan and the Rockports were fairly new to me.  It was the first dAC that wasn't 'digital sounding to me. I li...
