| How long do you or should you keep your gear. The conclusion of the piece completely confirmed my suspicion at the start not to read it. D'oh! How an audiophile deems their system’s sonics and need to replace any part of it is a personal choice. If we choose to do so once every twenty years... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? Its simply not fair to ask a question and not be clear about exactly what you are asking. LOL! Of course it is. Because everyone is free to take the question as they wish and then answer it. | |

| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @nonoise Been to Listen Up many times. Not sure they really have anything like what I'm looking for. But will check again. Home installation and a bunch of other brands that I've heard but am not taken with -- Focal, Goldenear, Sonus, B&W, etc. | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver Thanks all -- just heard some great Apertura Evolution speakers right here in Denver. Very, very nice. | |
| Best speakers around $130k? @noske I'm open to hearing people's criteria for distinguishing "sonics" from "bling." | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @jperry Thanks for clarifying. I'll look for the ProAc. It looks like a flight may be in order. @ghasley I may need to go somewhere. I'm interested in any Devore or Audio Note speaker. I need to grok their sound, in general, the way I was able t... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? @jdoris You make a great point. An interesting question is raised by the OP's post, namely, can the price point separating audio quality from audio bling be identified? | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @jdoris Thanks. I wish RMAF was going, too! @jperry How is that link supposed to help me? Are you suggesting I have not searched the audio stores in my area or is there something buried in the Yelp link that I’m missing? Because I have been to th... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption @sns Very well said. Here's my quick take — audiophiles do contribute to the artistry by making their systems. They feel power in making the sound immersive, in bringing music and bodily feeling into synergy with the room. What was once a col... | |

| Best speakers around $130k? @jdoris You're right. Deleted my post! Super-7's by GR with magnetic planar ribbons and open baffle bass came to about $20k in parts and if someone else built it, I guess that could be a bit more, but nowhere near $130k. My bad. | |
| Top 5 Most Influential Companies in 2021 If this is about moving the needle in audio, I'd have Schiit on my list. I'm not a fanboy, but they are really unavoidable. Also: Emotiva and one of the Chinese Dacs (RME?) Brands like MBL, Magico don't make the list. Their expensive stuff tu... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption @sns Fair points. Regarding data, increasing amounts of it are being used to subtly guide our spirits in profitable directions, all the while maintaining the illusions we are in full control. We don't get to keep those profits of course; we genera... |
