Dynaudio's best sounding bookshelf between $500-1000
I have owned Audience 42,52SE & Focus 110's.I always felt(when driven by SS)that they could lean towards stridency when pushed hard. For small -medium speakers with a BIG sound similar to Dynaudio have a look at Dali.The Zensor 2's have HUGE b...

What is your budget? 
Need small size speakers for fireplace.
If your still interested,after about 100 hours the Zensor 3's bass became too much for my smallish living room so they went back & the Zensor 1's are now in their place.After almost 100 hours they have more than enough bass for my apartment &a... 
Speaker Pairing to Tube amp (Please help)
Dali or Sonus Faber will put you right! 
Anyone heard the Martin Logan 60xt's
No but I had a chance to demo the Motion 15 & 35XT’s for about an hour.The sales guy even let me tweak the setup to get a good feel for them. Gotta say I was pretty impressed & am fairly certain the 35XT’s will be the defacto replacements ...

I had to downsize my system recently & I thought replacing my beloved S.F.Toy Towers was going to be impossible.I was WRONG! 3 days into a new pair of Dali Zensor 3's I'm not missing the TT's one bit!The Dali's have that same ability as the S.... 
After Several Years, Time to Upgrade: Your Suggestions

non parallel walls in listening room
IMO your missing an opportunity here to remove the room from the equation.By setting up in the center of the long wall you will eliminate early reflections,echo & bass nodes.Treat all corners,high & low.Split the long wall behind electroni... 
In a lot of these threads people say without the room being treated
While I completely agree that an untreated room is a killer to great sound I have to disagree about the difficulty in actually performing the act of treating.Using the live end/dead end philosophy of treating  It's VERY easy to walk around a room,...

Overcoming ba(e)droom accoustics
Yea,tough looking room.If I were living in this room I would:1.Get a KA Headphone rig.2.Move the bed(which I assume is the listening position)directly across from the dresser.Use dresser for electronics,speakers on each side of dresser on stands p... 
Overcoming ba(e)droom accoustics
You can spend another $2500.00 & NOT get the same impact a few hundred dollars of treatment will give!Why can't the room be treated?There is 2 way tape that can easily be removed without damaging the walls.It won't take much,corner traps &...
