Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor?
@plaw  I have listened to both the Sasha 1’s and 2’s and there was no harshness at all and I cranked most rock and Jazz. I mean loud! Except for the source, it was all Mac. Not sure if you mentioned, but what equipment are you using to feed your...

Any O-10 news? Out of curiosity, how old is he? Thanks.  
To pricey
@lalitk  I agree completely that speakers have to be matched to gear, but why do so many dealers  not do that? I listened to the 804 d4’s powered by all Mac gear and the first song they played was Lorde’s big hit from a few years ago and I knew i... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Okay so I’m a Beatles fan, and I’m listening to the remixed and remastered Revolver album in high res and it’s really well done!
