Which subwoofer should I get?
Get a Elac Varro DS1000....dual opposed 10 inch drivers of a very high quality (German engineering at its finest) that would go well with the woofers on your magico. The app has a very user friendly auto eq tool that should help you integrate it s... 
Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design
General rule of thumb...Drivers handling approx 30 hz to 300 hz should always be NOT the same driver that handled 300 to 2000 hz. Having said that, a guy who put 2 dollar trash drivers in a 3 way and designed a trash crossover/ cabinet can make a... 
Am I crazy to upgrade?
Funny how, since they’re cheap, everyone here just casually bashes Emotive XPA-3s but look up pro reviews and they are universally liked and loved for their value. Audiogon snobs. Not snobbery...Cheaper Schiit and Yamaha amps kick Emotiva butt... 
Am I crazy to upgrade?
My room space is 30’ x 40’. In the process of divorce. :) I’m actually selling her SUV to pay for it all. :) She was never supportive of the hobby. Lol However, I have high pitched ceilings. So, having a fancy Atmos home theater is too much of a ... 
Am I crazy to upgrade?
It would probably be a better idea to go with one of the different multichannel "packages" offered than mix/match on your own. https://tektondesign.com/products/hi-fi-home-theater/theater-packages/    
Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative”
I’m currently using a Primaluna Dialogue HP Premium integrated amp which I’ve enjoyed for many years. Here’s where the “fiscal conservative” part comes in; this amp has 8 power tubes. Even with Primaluna’s great low tube stress design concept, I’... 
A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair.
I apologize @aricaudio for some undeserved harsh words and criticism written above. Every member here is an artist and an expert in design and they have incredibly high standards. @grislybutter It’s really not that hard to make a speaker look... 
A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair.
As much as I admire Aric’s electronics, his speakers are butt ugly. I’m more about sound than aesthetics, but even I have my limits and I couldn’t look at those things in my listening room.  @soix +1, looks like the guy needs to take a art/desi... 
??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ???
Some 4 million dollar Chinese horn based system that sounded like ass...    
How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound?
I hope I never get to a place in this hobby where I can't enjoy a system because I know that a different group of components might sound better. That would be just as bad as not being able to enjoy a good meal at a cheap restaurant because I migh... 
I found audio nirvana....
@livinon2wheels Key word here is "NEARFIELD", even cheap gear can sound a lot better in nearfield by beginning to get the room out of the way. Many confused souls will spend 20k on a power cable, but $0.00 on a room or $500 for a couple of decora... 
Tekton Polycell15
@kdude66 , @sbayne ​​@viablex1 Hey... who all heard or owns this ’polycell 15’ maybe? If you do, would you be able to make a comparison to the sound of the double impact? (which is really my only point of reference for the tekton sound). thanks....

Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
I rarely find something I like. To me it sounds too disjointed, like everyone is trying to out do the others and they are all playing a different song. @fthompson251  When someone is not the greatest composer (just doesn't have it in his head, ... 
Ansuz Darkz resonance control footers
It is just an OPPO, didn’t need 5100 dollar footers....Further, nothing about this footer is even remotely worth 5100. $500 would be pushing it. (facepalm) Try aliexpress, you will get the same "improvements" for about 1/100th of the cost. Anyo...
