@artemus_5   Wow! Let’s get a few things straight shall we? I am a "rightist" extolling the virtues of capitalism...I did not sign up to educate you. Of all the things you say are "up" are you saying that they were at their historically proper ...

Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices?
@deludedaudiophile   The fact that the world economy didnt come to a screeching halt in mid-2020 is clear evidence that the monetary policy worked. Its time to unwind it in as orderly fashion as is possible. Now, are the past 24 months in the e...

@artemus_5 the only thing I’m absolutely certain of is you haven’t extensively studied macro economics or finance. That’s ok and no offense intended. The money supply will be contracting by $20-30 billion in May, $50ish billion each month thereaft...

Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
They would probably be terrific in that room! O96’s would overpower that room, O93’s might, OBaby’s might be just right. What is the rest of your gear and listening preferences? My main system is in a 19 x 20 x 9 room, my TV room system is much la... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
