Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Matt will post soon I'm sure, but he's getting the Sound Gallery's (I may too) in to listen to.  It's got great press.  Can't wait to hear his thoughts on it.   
What is your speaker ownership history since 1995?
You should look into the Vandersteen's Don.  They give you the advantage of a dynamic speaker, but also the sound of a point source, which is what you are used to with Maggies.  A friend of mine has both and LOVES them both.  He's a jazz drummer a...

I'd like to hear the  ATC's actively.  After hearing what Vandersteen does with a semi active, I would like to hear a fully active one.  I don't like Meridian at all.  I heard one from Germany that uses ribbons, that didn't do it for me a few year...

I grew up with the Bozak sound as I live in CT. I remember meeting him as a kid in one of the local stores.  The owners was close with him, but didn't sell his speakers.  I used to get to hear them all the time though as he was always bringing the...

RX7, great way to put things.

Oh, I forgot to ad, that when folks say paper cones are best, I have to go back to pure science and say that they all sound differently when humidity levels change.  That changes the sound greatly if you have good enough upstream gear to show them...

analogluvr326 posts08-05-2017 8:24amCtsooner  i'm glad you love your vandersteens  but I had to chime in and correct your statements. All these so-called advances in materials are mostly bunk.   A good old paper driver is still king for musicality...

Matt, we've spoken so much about it all.  Yes, IR a fanboy for all the reasons stated that don't even deal with my feeling that for the price the SQ is the best for ME.  They just stand by their products even out of warranty if needed.  I love tha...

I just got the speakers I've wanted for a few years now, the Vandersteen Quatro's.  Will they be my forever speakers?  Possibly, but there have been so many great advances in materials over the years as well as manufacturing, that the newer stuff ... 
2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K
I personally was the guy looking for the best sound under 25k too.  I auditioned sooooo many speakers.  I went crazy over the course of a few years.  I ended up with a  speaker I never would audition in the past.  I got Vandersteen Quatro's  (afte... 
What is your speaker ownership history since 1995?
There are folks who are into the gear.  Some are into the music.  Some are into both. A thread like this shows all of us and how we approach things.  I'm into both. I audition the heck out of gear continuously.  IF I find something that is a game ... 
If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it?
Pretty obvious that some folks like it one way and some the other.  As Tomic posted above, the bass and can affect the HF, so it helps to separate them. I have heard my Quatro's wired both ways now as I had some Kimber around that allowed a true b...

Dragon, I kind of agree.  I purposely didn't mention the name of the dealer as I didn't want things to 'go there'.  The post has nothing to do with the sound of the product. I don't think any of us are saying it's not a great product.  My thoughts...

Wow, this is nuts. I've heard that they had many problems with the Geek'd line, but didn't realize how bad it was/is.Matt, just got the Davinci mk 2 through a NJ dealer.  Hope they don't go under for his sake as that's a lot of coin for no warrant...
