The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.

Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market?
Mono blocks all the way for listening, I moved from Stereo Mac to mono's and very happy i did. The only down side when selling is shipping cost and luging two. I feel the mono amps will hold their value longer, potentialy anyway. Really depends o...

ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT

Main speaker placement- fundamentally wrong?
If you noticed almost all animal's ears are on the side of their head. evolution made them that way for a reason, most likely for location sensing of predators and pray. I do not think evolution was worried about your stereo separation etc. Reason...
