| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change To quote Bill Murray in STRIPES..."There is something wrong with you. Something very, very wrong with you!" I just picked up a D'Agostino amp from a gentleman who had a gorgeous system -VAC tube set up, Von Schweikert reference speakers. It sou... | |
| Rockport Lyras Not sure why people on this forum need to keep hatin on Big J and others. In general, I think he helps bring more people to the hobby and makes high end gear listening more accessible to the masses. My ear and his don't agree. I find him liking... | |
| OCD mickey website and negativity. Brands like Jeff Rowland or TAD wouldn't let Mike sell their product if he wasn't legit. I picked up a pair of F&F speakers at his house in Jan. His wife was fantastic and a music lover as well. She's a better salesperson than he is! I tru... | |
| KEF's meta material gimmick? I don't feel the Meta's live up to the hype. I immediately had to buy the KC62due to the lack of bass. Just recently replaced them with Fyne Audio's F500-SP. My wife immediately noticed the difference in musicality and soundstage. | |

| 2023 Florida Audio Expo Show Report Soundfield Audio had an amazing set-up using DSP to control the drivers. The speakers also had rear drivers which were controlled by the DSP. So speakers can be placed near a wall or corner or you could have a highly reflective room and the DSP ... | |
| 2023 Florida Audio Expo Show Report Many people liked the Joseph Audio and Large Acora rooms. For me, the Joseph's sounded bright which could have been the track selected. The large Acora's sounded amazing. I was also impressed with the large Clarisys speakers. They were in a bi... | |
| Best Speaker for a reflective room ? Thanks for everyone's help. I know it isn't ideal. I had tried ohm in my house up north in a room with similar characteristics and an even higher ceiling - they were lost. I probably needed to go with larger units. Thanks for the input everyon... | |
| Great Small Room Speakers for $3-5k Fyne Audio F500SP. Could match with Kef KC62 sub. I own the metas and aren't in love with them. Heard the fyne's and they are much more musical. | |
| Anthem vs Arcam Do exactly what Kota1 suggested. It is exactly what I did - bought an Arcam AVR10. I was impressed with how well it works. The streaming is really nice on it. The sound is better than all the Japanese receivers and better than NAD. Ive owned ... | |
| Has anyone noticed a slow down in sales? Prices being charged are too high. I've definitely noticed a pricing structure being used and they don't make sense. I've made offers at reasonable prices and they go unanswered. Recession coming in 2024 - may actually start in Q4 of this year.... | |

| Two power amps for Magnepan 1.7i ? I have 1.7s. Started with NAD 200 wpc stereo and they sounded great. Then installed an Emotiva 300 wpc stereo and they sounded better. Now installed Van Alstine DVA225 monos on each channel and they sound even better. As others have stated, th... | |
| U2 live. Music realism My favorite band of all-time. I suspect I don't agree with the politics of 99% of the artists I listen to. Doesn't mean I cant enjoy their music. I'm sure it sounds great in person with the equipment u have ! | |
