| Changes in my life, new system, need new speakers Haven’t heard any of the other speakers mentioned but I have been rocking Monitor Audio Gold 200 floor-standers for the last 5 years and have been extremely pleased. Love the balanced, yet detailed sound. Often listen for hours on end and never su... | |

| How Did Your First Audiophile Experience Impact Your Audio Journey? Not sure it was audiophile quality but it was the moment that started my never ending love of quality audio reproduction. Mid 70s and everyone had those horrible all-in-one systems - all being 8-track, tt, and am/fm radio. I was ~13 and a friend o... | |

| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers @bache - I think you hit the nail on the head in that folks that like Teton also like Las Vegas. I avoid both like the plague (or COVID). | |
| Will you hear the most beautiful music... I normally like my steak lean. But I had the chance to eat A5 in Kobe. Way way better than any other steak I’ve ever had. I had 3 nights out in Kobe - spent 1 at a highly rated restaurant from TripAdvisor and it was very good but small portions an... | |

| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II My experience was different than yours but my upgrade delta was much larger and I was dealing with the Node 2. I upgraded to the Mytek Manhattan DAC and the result was night and day difference BUT the Mytek cost ~10x what the Node cost. I was happ... | |
| starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped Regarding the cooling fins - yes they will work in reverse during the warm up but would only be effective if the amp is out of the box. However the fins would also increase air movement around the amp and thereby increase the likelihood of condens... | |
