Top five live Rock And Roll Albums
Neil Diamond - Hot August Night (only the first "People in the trees" version, ca 1974).I still want to look like that someday....:-) 
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
Interesting that there are digital cables that can add a "1" here and a "0" there to give warmer sound and higher resolution. Need to invest.

Tierney Sutton - After blueTidal 
what would you do?
Maybe you can exchange them for the f206? The bass from the f208 is in my opinion their weak point. As with most stand-amounts that tries to play full-range with small woofers. The Spendor D7 gets a lot of praise on the Audiogon. 
Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers
Thanks for the tip on Halsey. Actually I think many "audiophile" speakers can't handle new pop or r 'n b  etc. mixes because they are too coloured (together with the room). Especially in the bass/low mid region. 
Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers?
Recently got hold of the Quested v3110 active pro monitors. Not too big monitor in a very heavy package. Gives you a beautiful "organic" full range sound. High spl capacity. End of game for me for a while. So far runs them without any external dsp...

@lp2cd I expect the Quested to have much better control of low freq. than the Boulder. The two 8" woofers in the Boulder moves exceptionally fast at low freq. and in my opinion tend to lose some control, lots of air. The Quested you can hardly see...

@lp2cd Haha, nothing that fancy yet. Using a pair of trash cans in plastic as stands. Good to know there are custom made stands. Vertical position as I'm using the Questeds for mid-field listening. When I got used to them and integrated them well ...

Dvorak Symphonie no 9 is a big one. Bruno Walter has a heavy duty version.For Opera I suggest not to miss La Boheme (Puccini) with Pavarotti/Freni. A very live recording with fantastic voices.Look for version where the orchestra is recorded in the...

Increasingly impressed by my new babies the Quested v3110. Probably end of game for a middle sized monitor with huge spl capacity. They are heavy though so not for bringing around to your friends... 
Decisions on standmounts: ATC, Dynaudio, ProAc, Sonus Faber
@ kenjitif the recording is "pleasing" then it's fine. But I don't want the speakers (or anything else in the chain) to "please" it for me. So I go for accurate speakers/monitors capable of producing loud levels at low distortion with high resolut...

+ 1 shadorneAlways interesting views and experience from you. So far havn’t had any problems with the mid but promise to raise the volume. Don’t really understand how they manage to get this bass into a not to large box. Massive though. Weighs a t...
