| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? +1 @jjss49 The idea that it's greed or stupidity, etc., is laughable. How can we possibly read the motivations of a seller? Maybe it's a starting bid, right? I'd never pay for the Blue Book when HiFi shark can show me a very long history of ite... | |
| Is a home theater even worth it or doable? I probably differ from many, but I cannot bear the time, expense, and space of setting up a home theater system. I did a basic one, and while it’s fun, the friends I know with good soundbars (really good) with perhaps one sub are good enough for m... | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN I’m tired of all the arguing, debating, and whining on here. So, leave. | |
| Lucinda Williams' Stories From A Rock n Roll Heart. I saw her a while back in Denver. Her voice sounded pretty harsh, but she had fire. | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN the survey has no value as a determinant of whether changing power cords can make a difference to sound. That's overstated, in my opinion.

| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN An interesting survey, which presents interesting facts about the perceptions and interpretations of the group. Which of those perceptions/interpretations map onto reproducible sonic realities is impossible to determine, but as Mulder liked to say... | |

It's really outperforming many other speakers I've heard, and is playing very friendly with tube amps. In an age where many makers come out with new versions of their speaker... | |

| Goodbye Everyone Good luck with whatever is pulling you away. I've enjoyed your posts very much. You have a lot to teach. | |
| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? It depends how far behind you the wall is; in my space, it is far enough back that reflections have a minimal effect. That is partly because there is a hallway and an open doorway. | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems @lucmichaud1 When listening to a full orchestra symphony finale, most systems present a wall of sound that is a bit garbled. In a concert hall, you hear all the instruments together, but not mixed. For me , resolving is the ability of a system ... | |
| KT66s in place of KT88 tubes My amp permits KT66, 77, 88, 150. It seems amp-dependent. | |
| have a pair of Tekton Perfect Set 15s but need a lighter speaker @69zoso69 might have a suggestion. I think he has similar speakers. | |
| Best €2500 sub purely for music? @ronboco Maybe I could loan you a couple for long enough to see if they're what you need or want. We can talk! |
