| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! I suppose it's a blessing in our industry that those component designers with a bad eye for aesthetics may be brilliant in their ability to make sonically amazing gear. On the flip side I've experienced components that look amazing but sound like... | |
| 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).

| 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... | |

| 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... |
