| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey you could have also added: throwing 10s of thousands of dollars at it is must. It's weird you have owned so many speakers and amps in such a shorti time. and I would have been more curious about why? Did you sell them all used? | |
| Speaker Pairing With Amplifier are you people reading the OPs' updates? He ordered the refurbished NAD from SafeandSound. And you keep posting suggestions. Weird... | |
| Speaker Pairing With Amplifier NAD C368 > Safe and Sound HQ. has one with warranty for almost half price. | |

| Great Small Room Speakers for $3-5k my novice opinion: the Harbeths and Triangles seem to be the safest bets. The Devores are very expensive in comparison with similar products. | |

| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh I have 0 to contribute but I like this thread for my learning. It's weird that you have these awesome components and experience these issues.
