KEF LS60 WIRELESS + KC62 SUB OR HEGEL H390/KEF R7 META + KC62 SUB?
@mrbanker32  Then by all means go for the LS60’s! curiousjim I would be using an external music server hooked directly to the ls60. I have all my hi res files ripped to the drive.  
Electrostatics and tubes
@hotrod6871  I have some Accoustat Model X electrostatic speakers.  They are attached to some 40 watt tube mono blocks and they play louder than I can listen to. When I added a crossover and a subwoofer or two, they easily filled a 22’x20’ room a... 
Are all streamers the same?
@johnread57  I started out with a Bluesound Node and it was good.  I added a Teddy Pardo Linear Power Supply and it was better. I now have an Aurender  N200 and it much better.  Something else that might matter is every company has their own oper... 
KEF LS60 WIRELESS + KC62 SUB OR HEGEL H390/KEF R7 META + KC62 SUB?
@mrbanker32 I have a H390 and while it is a wonderful integrated amp, it’s way more than you probably need, but if you go the LS 60 route, you’re going to need something to feed a signal to them and you might not get the same quality of sound. ...

Building Resonance Free Subwoofers
@mijostyn, You have no idea how jealous I am of your workshop! 🤗 It’s beautiful, well equipped and large! Your workmanship is impressive as well. It was a pleasure to look at all the pictures you posted. Jim    
Those magical days when the HVAC is off
@gdaddy1  You mentioned the mini splits that PS Audio has in their listening rooms.  Paul hates them and turns them off when giving demonstrations.  We just added a room to our house and put in a highly recommended Mitsubishi heat pump. On its re... 
Primaluna tube rolling 12AU7 Notes
I just switched from equipment using the 6dj7 line of tubes and Amperex 6922’s are my all time favorites, but I just switched to a preamp that uses 12au7’s. It came with PSVANE, Art series in it and they pretty good. I have since bought from Brent...
