Why is Dynaudio so much cheaper in Europe?
There's no simple answer to your question other than its a large item to ship and its a fragile item to ship. That costs tons of money. Each item is insured by the manufacturer.It's not like a tooth brush made in China where you can dump tons of t... 
How do you judge your system's neutrality?
Byfwyyne, that's not uncommon at all. These people that set up speakers in this manner have a particular training. The difference is huge. Some dealers pay for outside sources to do this. 
When did you start to love music and why?
I'm a blizzard baby (accident). Blizzard of '66 to be exact. My siblings are quite a bit older than me. My brothers and sisters have seen Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix live as well as early The Who and others. Every one of my siblings had a hifi o... 
Linda Ronstadt can't sing anymore.
Oh no. I love Linda. An amazing talent and cute as a button. This is some very sad news. 
Norah Jones
Okay, so first off her father didn't have a lot of pull with Norah. It was Annoushka he catered to. Chayro, isn't "Come Away With Me" over a decade old? Give her a chance for crying out loud. She's not an amplifier. Why bother replying on artists ... 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
I've posted more than a few times on this thread. My wife LOVES listening to music. Ever since I've known her. Some nights when i come home from the office late, i can hear the Cassandra Wilson (or whoever) when im pulling up the driveway. She mig... 
What time do you wear?
Yes, I hope to someday step up from a quartz movement. I really enjoy wearing a watch. It's not uncomfortable to me and I don't like to have to pull a cell phone out of my pocket to say "it's four fifty three". I can totally understand why people ... 
Possible Desktop Speakers?
Do you have any local brick and mortar hifi shops in your area? It sounds like you're trying to spend a boat load of money without ever listening to anything. You need to get out there and spend some time listening to some stuff. You're totally se... 
What time do you wear?
"An iPhone! I wear it like a pocket watch. I have not had a time piece on my wrist for years. Wrist Watches are just BLING!"Do you remember a time before digital time pieces? It was great. When asked the time it was always rounded. 5:08 was ten af... 
Norah Jones
"She hardly wrote any of the music she sang to get famous. Mostly all covers. When she started insisting on performing the stuff she wrote, her career sank fast. I happen to like her first two records, but I can't stand her writing. "Well there's ... 
Songs With Best Ending
LMAO!!!! My favorite part of a Cher album is the groove cut in the vinyl between songs. 
5 best selling newish speaker brands in 2013?
I love my Harbeth C7es3's. The new 30.1 is pricey but I've heard them and they do sound excellent IMO. 
Amp with best bass control
My amp has better bass control than all of your hunk a junkers and I'm not going to tell you what it is because I'm the only one who believes me. It's tight, taught and dips down well below an Oprah Winfrey stomach growl. 
Song With Best Beginning
Peter Wolf!!!!! 
One of my best tweaks....a new listening chair
What is this chair you speak of?
