Why are there so many used B&W speakers for sale.

Digital is far better than vinyl
I agree with the price you have to spend to meet or top a good digital setup. Expecting a $299 table to beat the OPs digital setup is not realistic. That’s a very decent digital setup he has.     
Questions to Klipsch Heresy IV owners
@simna I agree with you. Also you can try a Class A amp rather then tubes, a good substitution if the price of a higher watt tube amp is not practical. I’d still go for the tube and Heresy if it’s practical for you. Similar to you, I heard Harbeth... 
A heartfelt thank you to AudiogoN and members....
Agreed, the moderators are really good culling out the politics or non-audio rants that pop up.   
Questions to Klipsch Heresy IV owners
What speakers do you have now? It might not be the speakers, but the issue of "Loudness" - your ears are less sensitive to low and high frequencies, so listening at low volumes with most speakers can sound a bit lifeless. Although I do not have Kl... 
Has new music gone down the tubes?
I need Koolaid!!!

That’s great news.

I put them under my Harbeth 30.2’s and heard a nice improvement also. Have not tried them with my turntable as I am using another type for my turntable.   
Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?
I once told a neighbor I spent $1,200.00 on speakers (peanuts for most audiophiles) and he was shocked and told everyone. So, never again. Especially now that my latest pair are closer to $10k. And I also learned not to ask my wife how much her p... 
Aurender ACS100 as streamer/player
I own the N200 and love it for streaming and storage. And I like to “own” my favorite music. Two reasons, I have a lot of live shows that are not available on streaming, and the internet does go down once in a while. I copy all my cds though my co... 
HDD to SSD migration and capacity?
You can put 1.81 TB on it, there is no headroom needed. No damage is done if you run out of space to put new music on it. And it does not make the SSD unstable. The only reason you need to leave a little headroom is for PC apps and programs as the... 
Has something gone wrong @ Stereophile?
@heretobuy  Two personal observations, if you read the 'positive' reviews closely, you can sense they do not really like it, but yes, they don't want to piss off an advertiser. I always look for reviewers that buy the equipment or the equipment t... 
Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings?
I sold something last year and low-balled myself. Can't win for trying!   
Streamer? Aurender's "caching streaming" ? how important is this feature?
@audiocanada @oddiofyl  I have the Aurender N200 for about 4 months. Love it. The 100h is a good deal, but if you want to store your digital music on it, make sure 2TB is enough for you. Yes, 2TB is a lot of music, but I managed to collect more a... 
Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10
As someone who did something similar to what you are doing….. I moved from the bluesound to an outboard DAC with the bluesound, to an Aurender and each time there was a worthwhile improvement. I also agree with @ghdprentice and @oddiofyl . I know...
