| Bose buys McIntosh @jjtarnow There's a recent trend for high end audio companies to add car audio systems to their portfolio. JBL & Altec have been offering high end car stereos for over a decade. Lexus offers Mark Levinson, Jeep offers McIntosh, Volvo offers ... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh It's inevitable that companies like McIntosh that produce equipment that lasts decades isn't a profitable business model. It wouldn't surprise me if for every 10 McIntosh sales transactions 8-9 don't represent any revenue to McIntosh as they're l... | |
| Home network router question If you or anyone else reading this uses Quantum Fiber (QF) as their Internet providerr Internet provider, QF recently ended their licensing agreement with Plume. The QF tech mentioned that Plume provided the mesh network software for the QF pods. ... | |
| Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck As Rick Beato states, 'Jeff Beck isn't copiable - he's 1 of 1'. Steve needs to throw away the pick as it adds too much staccato to the beautiful and flowing melody. He also needs to get a guitar with a whammy bar if he wants to emulate Beck. I ... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move @jbhiller If you're going to upgrade your speakers, you may want to consider upgrading to an end game pair of Focals. The speakers you've listed, and others have mentioned aren't in the same league as Focal Scala Utopias or Focal Sopra 3's. They... | |
| Updating my streamer @audiotroy Will you ever stop trolling posts to try to sell your gear? We realize that you follow the proper protocol by letting us know that you are dealers for whatever you're pushing. But please tap the brakes on your continual banter that th... | |
| DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison @jfrmusic Thanks for sharing your cable auditioning experience with us. Have you tried using a full loom of cables from the same manufacturer? I did a similar audition a few years back and found there are noticeable SQ improvements using the s... | |
| JBL's Marketing Blunder.. JBL's attempts to improve their home audio business are comical. In the ad, they claim 'MA' stands for Modern Audio. I was expecting a modern look that would appeal to Gen X/Y/Z. The chassis and speaker cabinets look like leftovers fom the '70s.... | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? @deep_333 Love your comments. Not all of us are retired, but I do admit I'm getting close with each passing year. The 'wasting our time' comment was mostly based on the Ops lack of deciveness on whether he should buy new or used. We all know t... | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? @emergingsoul Easy to see why you're not married. You basically use this forum to brag that you're considering $50,000 speakers and all the reasons you can think of why not to buy them. Please be considerate by not wasting our time. | |

| Aurender AP20 Impressions @blisshifi I'm hopeful that more manufactures will spend R&D dollars on all-in-1 units. I'd love to be able to approach the SQ of my separates with an all-in-1. I think this will attract a whole new generation of young people to our hobby. ... | |
| Aurender AP20 Impressions @blisshifi Great review. It would be interesting to compare it to Boulder's 866 all-in-1. The 866 lists for a considerably lower price. | |
| Guess who has new speakers in their lab? Jay's figured out how to leverage YouTube. He'll rave about the SF speakers for awhile and sell them at list. You have to admit it's an interesting alternative to a brick & mortar operation. | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers It's interesting to read the suspicious comments from people that likely never these speakers. There are many design factors that interest me such as the dipole ribbon tweeter is the same device that Borresen uses in their $550k M6. I also want t... |
