Turntable prices. Is my mind going?
@mijostyn I never had that problem :) If I could, I would get a 348 or 355 (for a week). I love Italian cars, not the maintenance costs but the way look and drive.

@mijostyn Sometimes you have to make it shiny to justify the price, I guess.

I am still stuck at "moving to Texas".  Why?   
Turntable prices. Is my mind going?
If it looks cool is sounds better. Sorry I can't resist. If it looks hideous like so many high-end audio products, does it imply (hint/suggest/allude) that it sounds better?  I am half-joking, I know aesthetics is not the goal of many engineer...

looking at your system photos, it's pretty obvious: the lamp :)  
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
@tektondesign your bashing other brands and getting personal was not a good look by any standards but we can all have our opinions.   
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers

looking at the photo, I am confused. To say it is not conducive to good imaging, clarity, etc. would be putting it lightly. Imaging the soundstage as a plume or a pear. Your screens, your desks slice up that plume and you won't get much out of you...

@ilikeclassical in the 10K range I have no experience. But I can tell you what I like in general based on demos, and what are neutral or warm (and again the 10K dudes: https://speakerchoices.com/?pricemin=7000&pricemax=14000) Dynaudio, Ha...

@ilikeclassical I always thought of the KEFs as too bright, not warm, and I am fond of warm. I would say they are so detailed, they would work well for classical music. The brand itself is fantastic, a lot of bang for the buck in comparison with p...

@yyzsantabarbara I don't have an office system per se, I have one room and I do have 2 places to listen, one being my desk much like the above setup all the way across except my room is about 10'x20'. I do not like the sound when I am not facing t...
