| shy about prices @tomic601 yes, that can be confusing (and disturbing). And can cause for example speakers from the UK to be cheaper in the US, than across the street from the factory | |
| shy about prices @lonemountain Yes, very true.... and the retail changes that affect how we buy and use audio equipment (covid/amazon/spotify/price transparency, etc) drives how manufacturers and dealers reach the customers. What I see suffering is the low-end/b... | |
| Sub $2,000 Integrated Amp Recommendations I like your list, I would add Parasound that I tried and found it the furthest from warm, if that's what you prefer. | |
| list of speakers @russbutton I am the opposite with building things. I spent a week building a WC10 case for my daughter's Marantz 1060, brought it up to her and.... it did not fit!!! 1/10 of an inch too small. And it's just wood. Imagine if I touched a transistor... | |
| anybody compare Dynaudio Special 40's/Heritage Specials/Confidence 20's? @mofojo I am sorry to hear that. I won't ask what happened to them :) | |
| shy about prices @lonemountain I totally get the model of prices to be shown on the dealer page. The problem I ran into: I go to the dealer pages from the manufacturer's page and 4 out of 5 times, it's a barely usable site, the information on the speaker is a link... | |

| list of speakers thank you @russbutton for the clarification. Sound like these speakers/speaker system is on another level. | |
| list of speakers @normb I agree that it's frustrating. But in the same time, it's feedback too. I am not perfect either and can occasionally pick up the glove - I should just focus on the positive responses. | |
| list of speakers @normb thank you! It's a start, and becoming a team effort. I hope it will grow into a decent list. | |
| shy about prices @jji666 I didn’t say "audition", I said lookup. So I could put it here: https://speakerchoices.com | |
| list of speakers @tunehead I haven’t done it. There are a lot of pros and cons of doing it and I am open to input/data entry/feedback/corrections to well meaning fellow enthusiasts and manufacturers as I posted it to the website with my contact. I just want to ... |
