if you're reading this then you already know...
It maybe because one Is already on Audiogon that maybe one should know all there is to know about xyz. After all are we not a country of 'stats, facts, figures and performance'? 
are any of your friends audiophiles?
It would appear that we are all really a hi-fi show, but not all at the same place. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
At the moment a pair of Oris 150's which do everything my ears like. Although I did say that about my Linn Isobariks back in the day (circa 1850)lol. Then Horns cometh, and then Horns stayeth. Hey Johnk- the SE308 look great. 
Midrange Better Than Harbeth or Spendor?
I think any speaker with a Fostex F200a mid range cone would. 
Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke?
I agree 99% with johnk, although I go to shows TO mainly listen to horn speakers. Since I crossed over circa 1993 to horns they are the only speakers that I will let occupy one end of my room. The realism (IMHO) that horns can produce is just not ... 
What's your latest "Discovery"
My latest discovery was a gig rather than a cd. The band are called 'Stollen Babies'. Best live act I have seen in many a year. Their cd 'there be squabbles ahead', is excellent. I love 'em. 
Artists 'SELLING OUT' - can we discuss?
Well I am sure the bands that where 'back in the day' on the commercials here in the US, especially the car adverts are glad of the additional income as It perks up their retirements. Or is it that the Car manufacturers are trying to be in tune wi... 
Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic
Hey Aktchi, just go listen to a good pair of horns. You maybe pleasantly surprised. 
Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have
Ducati's are to bikes as Ferrari's are to cars. They look gorgeous and oooh lala (as they say in France), but, to unreliable, sorry, I think you maybe ok for the first 10000*** miles, but after that, at the least a top end rebuild is looming. Firs... 
Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have
Just a plain old boring 1990 *BMW K100RS, solid as a brick, fairly lofty, heavy, staid, adequate and ............boring. The only motorcycle that one can fall asleep on. Dream hooligan tool is a Triumph speed triple. *add a turbo and surprise the... 
Speakers under $750.00...Preposterous Notion?
Nice to see subjects on beer budgets levels (compared to the norm) for a change with good, solid responses also. Perhaps there should be a section on Audiogon for the more budget conscious? 
What's your latest "Discovery"
Stolen babies-'there be squabbles ahead'. 
Insanely Expensive....and Worth Every Penny
Hey 9rw nice reply. You have made my day. Thank you. 
Best rock song of all times
With lyrics with real life meaning for the average, and brrrrrrilliant music, Its gotta be 'WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN by 'THE WHO' (Moon/Ent/Dalt/Town), sung and played with all the verve, nerve, REAL anger, angst, deprivation, desperation that the y... 
Should a good system sound bad with bad recording?
I personally don't blame the quality of any cd. I do blame the quality of 'hi-fi systems' that can't make 'musical' sense of a cd regardless of price of ones' hi-fi, after all whats the point in spending bazillions on a system if It doesn't play a...
