2024 Audio System Wish List
2024 is going to be weird. For the first time in my life, I am completely happy with my system. I did the simple math as I was turning in for the night. In order to make a notable improved change, I'd need to double the price with about every piec... 
Recommend a non-polite sounding amp / integrated
@tomic601 good idea! Rogue or Cary integrated with tube rectifier stage. Used Cary SLI 80’s pop up all the time.  
Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti
@acman3 I was thinking about your question last night while listening to my Volti. When I picked my pair up from Greg at his shop I had the good luck of being able to have quite a long listening session with several Volti models. The Razz, the Ri... 
Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!
I have with my Volti Razz. At least until I can scratch up enough to buy a pair of Greg's latest creation!   
Musical subwoofer under $2000
@soix +1 Plus with the SVS you have the phone app and can really dial things in for your room, and your liking.   
Recommendation Tube Integrated
@macg19 I couldn't agree more. I have a Cary SLI80 HS paired with Volti Razz and I am over the moon with the set up. In my opinion I'd need to go the route of pre-amp and monoblocks to significantly improve where I am now. There's just good musica... 
Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti
I don't want anyone saying I'm not going to help a brother out! How about this... I'll be glad to take them off your hands for an even exchange of my Volti Razz. They are a bit taller, not as wide. Finished in a beautiful Walnut with the premium ... 
What are your exact settings for volume and low pass filter on your SVS sub?
I have two SVS subs.  The PB2000 pro is in the basement listening room/mancave. currently that one is is volume -18 db, and low pass is generally kept at 50hz. Depending on the music will adjust. It's paired with stand mounts with (supposed) exte... 
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
Kindness costs me nothing.  Hearing my Grandma's voice say, "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything" and heeding it costs me nothing. I value this site, I value it's members and the varied advice and opinions. I've met some really g...

Do people tire of audio forums?
For me the primary reason I am here is that I’ve no one else to talk to about this hobby, this obsession… what got me hooked in the first place was hanging out, then working in the only true high end shop we had here in town. It was a great place ... 
Margules Audio Magenta SA 2 Speakers question
I too was unfamiliar with the brand. Local dealer close to me in Western PA got me hooked. I picked up their ACRH-3 integrated amp. It is an impressive piece. The build quality is excellent, it's powerful and very easy to listen to. I wouldn't hes... 
Looking to upgrade from Paradigm Studio 60v5
if you are partial to paradigm, may want to give the founder series a listen.. especially the largest floor stander. Pretty amazing speaker.
