Speaker upgrade
@waytoomuchstuff  I know little about the engineering part but why wouldn't Klipsch implement your $10 magic for such a huge gain?  
Can someone help me pick out my first speakers?
it's safe to say this is good value for $299 at 50% off https://www.bestbuy.com/site/kef-q-series-5-25-2-way-bookshelf-speakers-pair-walnut/6379830.p?skuId=6379830&ref=212&loc=1&extStoreId=438&ref=212&loc=1...

@waytoomuchstuff  seriously ? Did he say that as soon as they arrived, he wanted to rip the speaker into pieces, replace parts and put them back together?  
NAD 3030 experience
@rumblestrip  Understood. I guess we can also call it "hype".  Since he said many times that he will receive the 3030 and the 3050, two previews seem a bit excessive?

@rumblestrip I do like Darko but publishing 2 reviews before he sees it, hears it is just lame

your budget is tricky, it’s a grey zone. There are some big quality swings between a 100 and 600 bucks. You would be sent back and fourth at Best Buy between the Magnolia and the soundbars guy. Elac is a good suggestion and benchmark to compare o... 
To pricey
@2psyop half of our planet now believes science is an evil liberal plot and the US attacked Russia in Ukraine, if you ever want to lower your expectations, this is the time.....

another thread that's over 50% BS in the comments  
how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries
@whart  keep these stories coming!  
When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better?
I am not sure what bothers me more: that there are 40K amps or this thread

@sniff cool story! I felt the same way about my Marantz 2252B but it needed maintenance - and there was no one I would trust with in my city.

@rumblestrip  that's what made me write the post (and I referenced it above). They didn't talk about the 3030 much for today's usability, which is what I was curious about. The bid has since doubled on ebay so I will likely lose out on it.

@crustycoot  Good to know! I will probably pass on it then I heard in the darko interview that NAD sold millions of 3020s. And I owned Marantz amps from the same time period, that all worked amazingly well. I don't think the design has ever bee...

@erik_squires  I was first super impressed. I am total sucker for the vintage look. But then I compared it with the 3030. Much cleaner look. And the led is just awful. that's so 80s. The designer should be arraigned! The reason I asked this in t...

@shtinkydog I was too harsh. I love it too. But I love the old one's design way waaaay more.
