Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?
+1 @normb  Furthermore at one time I was allergic enough to cats I could tell if someone sitting next to me in a  restaurant had one . I would occasionally have to move my seat.   Had a roommate in college who smoked , it didn’t bother me until ... 
Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years.
+1 @jjss49  and My Response 3.5 's aren't going anywhere either until my youngest takes them ~ he has already laid claim to them   Would not mind adding the K8's to the collection and a pair of ATC SCM50's

What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
Play what  whatever you decide to do and what do you like and dislike about any of the speakers you choose. Good luck and happy listening.

PROac   Own and still have three point fives  ATC don't currently  own but they are excellent Kef Reference  - have and still own two  All above are seamless with all music and good amplification.   All can be bought used well under your budg... 
Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B?
@clhs04 I do not understand the comment that a 300B falls way short of the Power Tube Task. Likely, if they are not in the right "environment", they will fall short.  Like the OP I too have the Daedalus Muse Speakers and enjoy them with a pair of...

@jjss49  "why are so many people unhappy with their honda civics??? " You are always the sense of reason :)   RE: PS Audio  "in the one case i asked for some support and some small items, they were very responsive and generous "  My experience...

@elliottbnewcombjr , now that I finished reading - welcome back . you are an asset to this forum .    being from Philly ( and a big sports fan ) it can be tough to like a New Yorker / New Jersey person :)  However since I married one it became ... 
Goodbye Everyone
 +1 @pennpencil    so very sorry to see you go , you will be missed as you set a fine example of how to be a respectful human being . Somehow this is becoming a lost art .   
Did the Old Receivers Sound Good?
Another +1 for @jsalerno277  well said , thank you .    I too am enjoying new an old systems in my home - they all give me great pleasure when listening to them . I find that when I try to mix old and new components they usually don’t put out th...

@deadtrader thanks for your HARD work  and keeping this to double live albums only  For me - first it was Frampton Comes alive and CSNY 4- way street . it was 15 to 20  years later when I realized how poor a recording of  4-way street was. Then... 
Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers?
@holmz   LMAO , thanks for that one   
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
@mrdecibel  Unfortunately I will unfortunately need to take the 5th . I remember the "SABA" name and know there was a German MFG of the same name. However looking at images on-line none look familiar . It was a very solid and basic wood plinth whi... 
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
:) ^^^ so sorry @mrdecibel . Being 40 years ago I certainly am unable to be 100% accurate on the name. So, Ampzilla seems to be closer .....and no I was not a fan of the movie . Hmm... I didnt even spell GAS correctly . My memory and my hearing a...
