| Borresen X3 at Axpona Agree they are a top contender at $11k. I’m curious if the Scansonic MB-B model 5 or 6 are superior? I talked to the Borresen sales rep. and asked why are these not a 3 way speaker? He said "I hate 3 way speakers due to discontinuity". Also mentio... | |
| Axpona 2023 +1 @rsf507 Yes, there was an arrogance in that room. Which in most cases does not bother me. I want the sales/rep designer to be proud of the product. My only issue was with the Wilson Benesch sales rep. I asked why the Precision series was abse... | |

| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? When I attend Axpona this weekend my focus will not only be on the gear but watching how others interact with the sales reps./dealers. The last audio show I attended was about 10 years ago and there were some unscrupulous individuals in attendance... | |
| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? IMO the customer dictates how the salesperson will react. There is always the "know it all guy" that can’t stay silent or the "everything is overpriced" how do you expect a salesperson to react? I talked at length to a Sonus Faber rep. regarding t... | |

| Best Phono Preamp mm/mc under $3500.00 used I doubt an ARC Reference 3 or 3SE can be had for < $3500. | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Agree the 1.7i is the best value in the product line. My issue with Magnepan is the fit and finish and lack of an SE model(on all models).The SE model(s) would include proper stands/WBT speaker binding posts and top level crossover parts. | |

| What to do with my legacy CD collection? I don’t understand why some have this obsession with the elimination of physical recordings? Has your taste in music turned 180 degrees? Do you believe FLAC files and streaming has better SQ then a world class CD player/Transport/DAC? Media pressu... | |

| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? Having an open mind to new thoughts and ideas has little if any downsides. When relating to newer(last 10 years) music the quality standard(content) has declined in popular music. Is "Bad Guy" a great song? The mainstream media thinks so. How many... | |
