What happened to all the highend stereo shops
I had an excellent piece of chocolate cake last night.  
What happened to all the highend stereo shops
Woke up this morning missing my days at The Speaker Shop in NE Ohio. Saturday morning, cup of Irish coffee in hand, listening to great music, setting up whatever combo I wanted, having great and sometimes heated debate with my boss and a couple of... 
Monitors
@wolf_garcia I completely agree.   
Monitors
To this day I kick myself for not buying a pair of EV century 100A’s. Yes the were near field monitors. But In my cramped childhood bedroom they would have been perfect. Over thirty years ago   
What happened to all the highend stereo shops
@decooney  I am fortunate to have an awesome high end dealer within an hour of me. I'm in NE Ohio, and he's in Western PA, very close to Pitt. Mark at Northern Audio. He has done something similar. On the ground floor of his building there is a to... 
Do my ears deceive me??
@jonwolfpell  I ended up playing with both the tweeter setting and the mid. My setting only -1db on both. So my setting looks like TR1 4.3 TR2 5.1, Mid is MR1 16 and MR2 4.3, IT may be that my living room set up is fairly bright, no carpet and onl... 
Do my ears deceive me??
@fenderu2  I chose to take the 8 hour drive from NE Ohio down to Greg's shop. Not a terrible drive. My plan originally was the same as @jonwolfpell, except it was the one ion Florida. Sadly I didn't make it to the show. Plan B was going down to me...

@jonwolfpell  I'm completely smitten with my Razz. Spent all day yesterday with them, avoiding all the outdoor chores in the process.

Volti Razz would be worth a consideration. All the dynamics one needs, refined, efficient and beautiful. If you were closer to NE Ohio I be happy to host.   
Turntable recommendation
Another vote for the AT 120. Have it in my man cave system. Out of the box it just works exactly as advertised. The cart is just fine. All for under $400. Sure it’s not as refined as getting into the 2 to 3k range, but that’s not the point here I ... 
Downsizing: Separates>Integrated --PSAudio>Pass Labs
@hheedah  the Musical Fidelity M6si was definitely my other choice! A solid piece of gear and it does everything so right. I may end up getting one for my man cave system that would benefit from the extra power the M6 has. The other I was consider... 
Can you give me your speaker suggestions?
Another vote for the Volti Razz. I have never been this happy or this enamored, (makes some of my friends and family a bit concerned).  
Downsizing: Separates>Integrated --PSAudio>Pass Labs
This may be a little off the beaten path, but I am really digging my Margules ACRH3. Very musical, good power for my Volti Razz. It’s a very listenable combo. Plus it looks beautiful IMO.  
You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me
+ 1 for MoFi   
Tyler Acoustics and Salk
I can only comment on the Tyler’s. I’ve got a pair of T-1’s and they are a very musical speaker. Well balanced, nice soundstage and dynamics. The highs are very sweet, no fatigue. I bought the dedicated stands and they are super well built. I reco...
