Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
Interesting quote from Mark Twain!  Makes you think! I've been in this situation many times over the years.  I will find something about their system and its sound quality that you can honestly say is good.  It could be that the overall sound qua... 
Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget
I have really been enjoying the Vivid Audio Kaya S12 speakers.  They are small speakers with matching stands ($9,700 with stands).  I have to say they are a slice of pure heaven.  They have an uncanny sense of presence and amazing imaging with "re... 
Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui
Congrats on the system!  What a beautiful post documenting your journey to obtaining a such a wonderful system.  You simply can't beat a system with a Mola Mola Tambaqui and Vivid Audio G3s2 speakers at anywhere near their price!  Here's to many y... 
???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why???
The Vivid Audio Kaya S12 with their stands are absolutely mesmerizing. Technological marvels that are 3D, focused, musical, dynamic, and have great, neutral bass response. Really special.  I use them with a Mola Mola Kula integrated amplifier.  Gr... 
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
Let me offer up another thought.  The fellow who designed many of the best technologies and speakers at B&W is Laurence Dickie.  After leaving B&W he continued to develop and improve upon many of the technologies he had pioneered at B&... 
New speakers for 15*12 room powered by Lamm 1.2s?
Coming from Thiels, which I'm very familiar with, I would opt for one of the two top models in the Vivid Audio Kay range (K90 or K45), or any of the speakers in their Giya range (G4s2, G3s2, G2s2, G1 Spirit). Also, YG Acoustics' more affordable of...

I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?
I was pleasantly surprised to see so much good advice hear.  Many analogies have been made, but at the risk of repetition, let me revisit one. Are you an enthusiast or do you have casual interest in audio? How much do you love and value music?  If...

Vivid Audio Kaya S12.  Articulate bass, perfectly tonality, great presence!  Created by the former B&W designer known for the Nautilus speaker and matrix enclosures.  Very advanced technology!  Check out the many videos of these speakers.  
Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks
The best pre-amp I've heard for use with the Atma-Sphere class D monoblocks or any class D amplifier is the Mola Mola Makua.  You can get it as just a line-stage type preamp or you can get with a built-in DAC (same as the famous Tambaqui) and/or a... 
Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
I can see you have received a great many recommendations for speakers that would fit your needs.  At the risk of adding yet another recommendation let me offer this.  You would like speakers that are non-fatiguing.  Yet I assume that you would sti... 
I need a recommendation on Class D amp
The most advanced class D amp currently in production is the Mola Mola Perca stereo amp.  It doesn't sound like it's a class D amp in any stereotypical way.  It just sounds like music, regardless of class of operation.  The advanced Trajectum modu... 
Best DAC’S $5k to $15k
This one's easy for me.  The Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC is the best under $20K that I've ever heard.  The myriads of reviews out there are unanimous in their praise. Super transparent, smooth up top, excellent bass slam and articulation, and very 3D. ... 
Could Class D really be that good?
As has been mentioned before, Class D continues to evolve.  But the company that brought the NCore module to the market (Hypex) has continued to refine and engineer the technology to impressive new levels.  With the introduction of the Mola Mola P...
