Hi-end audio is a big zero
@clearthinker  "$4,500 ain't hi-end" what are you talking about??????????? It absolutely is, aside from a small, delusional bubble in the US. In 98% of the world, $4500 is a fortune, a result of saving for a decade. People build incredible hi-... 
Hi-end audio is a big zero
Over the weekend, I was nearby the fanciest audio dealer in town and wanted to take a peak, There was no hours listed on their web site so I called to find out if they were open. I got so much info, questions, my head was spinning: "we are only ...

PSB, Elac, Polk - good deals in that price range   
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
@milpai the vibe here is pretty weird at times, I am here to learn but I am in my disillusioned phase right now. When I see that people have a list of components that cost more than I spent on cars, combined in my entire adult life and the same pe... 
Digital is far better than vinyl
It would have been funnier if the OP uploaded system photos of the bricks and audio technica setup.  
Dynaudio Sub 6 vs Sub 18s vs Sub 3 with Special 40s
on why you never hear about Dyna subs 2 opposing statements cannot be true, in the same time, such as: Dynaudio speakers have a great bass, pretty much as low of a frequency as you need, 98% of time You need a sub or 2 to go with those speake... 
Enjoying Wharfedale Linton Heritage Speakers

Dynaudio Sub 6 vs Sub 18s vs Sub 3 with Special 40s
I auditioned the special 40 and the Evokes and picked the Evokes (so that you know the differrence). My amp is comparable. So far my sub experience has been a mixed bag. I tried the SVS and Klipsch entry(ish) level models, placed them everywhere ...

Nice budget Sonner, SF, Q Acoustics, Spendor?  
Q Acoustics Concept 50 and Polk R700
I watched and read a lot about the Q 50s and they seem to have everything right from the price to the value - if only you like the design. I seriously considered them. The Polks are way cheaper which I assume implies cheaper materials? Nothing wro... 
Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused
  @systembuilder22 I can hum songs in my head for practically $0. It sounds like like humming, with  amazing sound fidelity.  
Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused
@kota1  "I disagree that the OP's assertion is rude" even the title of the post is rude and it goes downhill from there​​​​​​  
Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs
from what I heard, for the most part, subs are cheap thrills (cheap subs). Listening fatigue will be off the charts if it’s too deep. So far I heard two types: powerful, in your face subs I don’t like or subtle subs I can’t hear (and sometimes I g... 
Downsizing for Blade 2 and hunting for smaller floor standers
@bwang29 design-wise: "Nordic"?    
LS50 + Sub Or Floorstander?
I was/am in the same boat, trying to match a sub to 2 monitors. It really depends on your music choices, 4 out 5 times, my subwoofer doesn't add much to the overall sound quality and image
