B&W vs. Sonus Faber
I love how people talk about individual components having a defined sound.  Systems have defined sonic attributes in various rooms, but all else is extremely variable.  So much goes into the final sound of a system that discussing individual compo... 
Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget.
Krell K300i...look it up! 
Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible?
Almost got McIntosh...not really class A or A/B or anything?  Krell k300i is awesome 🤩  
Audiophile demographics?
Who cares?  If you love audio then great...your not gonna convert anyone unless their young and open to the experience!   
Krell K 300i Vs Hegel 390 Help
The Krell K 300i is phenomenal, easily besting the Hegel 390. It won product of the year from Soundstage and has been widely reviewed with 5 star ratings across the board. To sum up, it sounds beautiful, harmonically complete, tonality is spot on,... 
Hegel H390 or NAD M33 for Bowers and Wilkins 802D2 speakers?
Krell K300i...absolutely the finest Class A sound to be had short of possibly $20k plus Class A separates!  Just gorgeous sonically with great dimensionality and control.

Paradigm Personas anyone heard them

Looking for more detail in a speaker
I’ve owned a ton of gear and countless speakers of all designs.  The B&W Diamonds are my favorites because they deliver such inner detail and harmonic texture that it puts me in the venue!  Having extra gear around is fun so you can mix it up ...

Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible?
I féal the OP!   A lot of economical junk has invaded the Audiophile space. 
Paradigm Personas anyone heard them
Heard the 9H’s vs B&W802D3’s driven by McIntosh separates and it was obvious to me instantly, that the 802D3’s created a living breathing soundscape full of dynamics and atmosphere.  The Paradigms were analytical and devoid of any warmth at al...
