Audiophile frame of mind
Whaaa? 41k for a Flippin grill?? What on earth has this world come to? I have some 500 dollar electric whatever.... It is not about the grill dude, it’s the seasoning. (But, I guess the audiophile logic sneaks into grills too these days....As you... 
Actual listening experience with Devore and wolf Von langa
my listening room is 28x17 and he said it might be questionable as far as filling the room. I recently sold Devore o93 and it was fine I just think the o96 will be better What is this "filling" of the room, you're talking about? Are you and you... 
What if a high end speaker measures really badly?
Here is the freq. response of the Thiel CS2.4 done by Stereophile. It doesn’t look very good, but the speakers are very neutral and sound quite good. This is not "neutral and sound quite good". Perceptively, this is another episode of V curve-i... 
Axxess L3 vs Scansonic MB2.5B?
It appears that the Axxess L3 will be priced/released for 5500 a pair. Anything from Michael Borresen at such prices would be great bang 4 the buck. Since he designed both speakers, it could end up as a sideways move (relatively speaking). Only y... 
Giving Advice without recommending your own equipment
@carlsbad2 Many responses could come from dealers recommending the latest cash cow (dealer’s cut maximized on said item). Sometimes, it’s his forum pied piper who’s on the take that’s recommending it. Sometimes, you’ll see a guy talking somethi... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
I don’t know bud, I’ve laughed my head off at the sound/squawk fest that came out of million dollar rigs at times. If a million dollar rig is getting plopped down in a goofy living room, something is wrong with the guy that’s doing it. Spend the ... 
The Center, Measured
A concentric driver can do very good in a center channel application, depending on the design.. The woofers in the coupled cavity design of my speaker crossover at 200 hz into the mid/tweet concentric, which handles the rest. (Elac Adante AC61 fro... 
Favorite moment with music in your car.
Current Tesla S Model....best fidelity i’ve had in a car (for a car that is!) with the lowest noise floor. All the coal rolling junk 30 years ago sounded like a screeching banshee coupled with all the obnoxious cabin noise...no thanks, no nostalgi... 
my own experience with Tekton Design
I have had Eric's speaker in the past. For the price, one really cannot fault the sonics of it in any way. I could name all kinds of speakers that are essentially cold fake sounding ear rippers for what they cost (that simply get carried by a thin... 
My new Borresen X3's
I was told the Z series is being discontinued ..so I guess we don’t talk,ok Oh, ok.... In that case, we could put the M3 and the X6 on the same high end Aavik electronics+tweaks (that they only use with the M3) in the same room side by side and... 
My new Borresen X3's
The problem with Borresen is exactly what Raidho did when he was with that company..They upgrade or come with with new lines way way too often leaving those who bought their speakers 12 months ago or 24 months ago holding the obsolete bag..In 202... 
Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700
@sid-hoff-frenchman THE SHRILL IS GONE Well the Tyrs are in place and so far so great.  Out of the box the sound stage expanded slightly (hoping for more), the instrument placing and detail improved nicely.  The high end shrill disappeared even ... 
Power cords: does length matter?
Interconnects and speaker cables matter and the power conditioner matters a lot. The power cord just needs to be shielded properly, reject noise and not act as a noisy antenna, which can be achieved through a 100 dollar AliExpress purchase. Length... 
18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers
18” subs are a bad idea. @mijostyn Yes, except when it is sealed and has the servo controlled drivers deployed by Rythmik (it becomes doable). Yes, it is a tad bit of a compromise compared to their 12 inch offerings, etc, but, it could put you... 
An ANSWER....of sorts......
Most magic happened because of the room. The human ear prefers to be in certain types of spaces for music listening, to begin with, and they tend to be larger spaces.. But, in most cases, a dude who’ll easily spend 30k on cables (while he sits in ...
