| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? its really interesting as I moved my speakers changed to fit the room I was in so they very from tinny to mid sized. I've never really had large full range speakers. Proac Table 50's the original onesCelestion SL-600Proac Response 2.5's, Oh how I... | |
| What's been your turntable ownership over the years? I started with a Dual I believe it was a CS 5000 or similar all wood plinth table with rounded edges, from there it was a series of Oracle Delphi's I think I had 3-4 mk1over the years and a Mk4 the most resent last year. I recently build a Garrar... | |
| Dragonfly Red in desktop system - replace with Schiit Bifrost Multibit? I've been running an Audioquest black and a red for some time and to be honest they are both very good for the money. For your computer audio needs I don't think for the money your going to get much better. yes the Shiit will sound better but I h... | |
| VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick! Elusive disc say's "The Magic Brick concentrates 16 layers of laminated steel on an area of 12 sq. inches. This is very effective in controlling chassis vibration and the inherent nonlinear distortions associated with it. Results do vary from unit... | |
| Lesser known 2 way bookshelf Speakers from the 80's the early Proac Tablet 50's were great, I also had a set of the Celestion's SL600's that were great as well, if not supper power hungry. the Proac's still haunt me as I regret selling them they just disappeared. | |

| $10K-15K short list? Some one mentioned AudioNote ane's and Living voice both are very musical I've owned both and find the living voice speakers much more musical and better long term I sold the ANE's and kept the Living Voice speakers and gave up a little of the bas... | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic Oh sorry missed that your amps are 20wpc that is more what the ANE's need. | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic I used to have a set of AudioNote ANE's and would like to say they are not as efficient as AudioNote claims and you will need more power to get the best out of them then 8wpc. I also found the lower base regions to be some what one toned but that ... | |
| Luxman Audio Gear - what is happening with them here in USA Have to say Luxman is some of the nicest built equipment around glad to hear they have sorted out the dealer network issues. | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K Living Voice OBX-RW3, I heard the OBX RW's and well they are fantastic but they could use a sub in a larger room. 94db and an easy load so SET friendly. too bad I can not afford the top line ones so I settled for the Avatar 2's and am very happy. | |
| Is there any advantage to lower efficiency speakers? 87 or below? I wish I got 18wpc out of my SET 300b. Gosh. 8wch lol | |
| Home made speaker stand idea using clay chimney flue liner I'm still looking for pic's it was a few years ago and I sold the stands with the Sonus Faber speakers I built them for.

| Accuphase E600 or Esoteric F-03A Luxman’s new Class A amps are nice as well, and a direct competitor to the Accuphase in Japan and similarly priced over there.(Accuphase gets a huge mark up when it crosses the pond). and of coarse the Pass Labs. I’ve had a Luxman Class A amp and ... | |
| PS Audio Sprout - NAD or Parasound for desktop? I'm not sure what your source is but if its a computer I would highly recommend the PSB Alpha system and an Audioquest red DAC combo I heard the NAD and wasn't impressed as much as the PSB Audioquest combo. http://www.psbspeakers.com/products/alp... |
