Your reference system?
My main system for loud listening (88-100 db at listening place):Bluesound 2 digital out -> Dspeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 -> ATC 150 SL active.Will eventually change the Anti-Mode for a Trinnov or an Anthem ARC.The ATC makes you relax at 95-100db. ... 
Black Sabbath Master of Reality 1st or 2nd press?
Played Black Sabbath "Black Sabbath" track Black Sabbath on the ATC 150 ASL last night after playing around with the Anti-Mode 2.0 a little. Still in heaven :-) 100db 3.5 meter. What a thunderstorm, what drums, what a voice..... Tidal streaming. P... 
Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”?
Somenone says the sound improved after two hours I might believe. Someone says the sound improved after 400 hours I wouldn't. That's just sales talk. 
Favorite music list in order
Get up in the morning with Beyoncé "Homecoming - the Live album". What energy! Perfect and heavy modern recording.Calm down with Greg Brown. 
Top Notch Desktop System
I got terrific desk top sound from two small REL t-zero subs with passive speakers placed on top of them. Favourites at the moment are Quested H108 or ATC 11. I’m sure the small Harbeths would do very good too. Look forward to try them. Important ...

I need help trying to decide which bookshelf speakers to purchase

KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system?
And in addition to Isoacoustics a proper digital correction system. PW AMP with ARC recommended. You'll be highly awarded.

Sorry to hijack this thread a little but musical tips hopefully never bad.lonemountain: You're probably right about the missing low end but my point were more about the distorsion free completely clean recording. Pump up the volume on your ATC to ... 
Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers
I would say the Doobie Brothers is the group that had the overall highest standard when it comes to recording technique in the 70’s and 80’s. And why not musicality as well. Just listen to Takin’ it to the streets. Not a hint of distortion or bad ...

Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers
Agree fully. And rather expensive and time consuming EQing. I can’t myself really see the excitement in trying to find a different (better?) sound from changing the direction of some very expensive cable. And certainly not a digital one. Once you ...
