"B&W" ?
Thanks, @jastralfu  , it's not more than I wanted to know, but kind of more than I can understand.  But thanks for the explanation--I shall wonder no more!  
"B&W" ?
Oh, I didn't think it was sinister or anything like that, I was just wondering why I was seeing so many posts with titles that referred to "B&amp, W" and I just wondered if it was something new going on that I missed out on.  That's all.  Than... 
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
@immatthewj , You're right....I didn't pull the trigger on this one. I opted for something smaller and more manageable and couldn't be happier.  @nonoise  , what did you go with?  I am debating a speaker upgrade myself (I am currently listening... 
"Happy To Be Stuck With You!!!"
I've actually been curious about Revel speakers for a while. . . .  
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
I have read this recently resurrected thread from start to finish and am intrigued.  I am wondering if anyone has experience with either the SP10 or SP8 in a small room/near field listening?  @nonoise  , I am assuming that you did not pull the tri... 
Anyone have experience with Gershman Avant Garde vs Studio II speakers???
@mact3333  , I did a quick search to see what the Studio IIs are all about, and what I read was intriguing.  What are you driving yours with?  
Subwoofer 101 Needed...
The icons are links to images: you will have tap and follow link on Imgpile.com.  (I couldn't figure how to actually embed an image...) Maybe it's just me and my old worn out computer, but I am actually not seeing a link/icon that I can even ... 
Subwoofer 101 Needed...
I am not seeing any images. . . .  
I took Frank Zappa’s advice
I thought that no EQ was a very popular notion in audiophilia. My previous integrated amp had a button to defeat the treble and bass settings and my present IA does not have EQ knobs at all. Isn’t this common? @tostadosunidos , I was out of it ... 
Started with $1k speakers … what now?
@immatthewj , Yes, as of 2023/ 2024, guys like Andrew Jones, Danny Ritchie, etc have offered such insanely great sound at around the 1k price bracket that it takes a whole lot more of an exponential increase in price to beat such things (obtain a... 
Started with $1k speakers … what now?
For me, Andrew Jones new $3700 and $3000 speakers are way better than his or the OP’s $1000 speaker.. @jl35  , are you referring to the Sourcepoint speakers by Andrew Jones?  
Cary vs Raven
  I say this based on experience.  I purchased a pair of Joseph Audio Perspectives and learned I probably can’t afford the electronics to fully understand how good the speakers are. @testrun  , this is not a rhetorical question or a question in... 
Started with $1k speakers … what now?
Otherwise, you are not getting anywhere w.r.t to a very discernible improvement on a 5k budget. @deep_333  , just to clarify (but not to start an argument) you are saying that if OP wants a significent sonic improvement over is current 1k speak... 
Cary vs Raven
FWIW, I have a couple of Cary pieces I bought used and have had good customer support convos even though the used equipment isn't covered under any warranty. @rjsully0467  , you've had better luck than I have.  Do you remember who you spoke to?... 
Cary vs Raven
@jrcotner  , I probably do everything backwards myself.  About 30 years ago I had a pair of pretty cheap NHT speakers (that I actually liked) and then I bought my first tube amp to pair them with and I liked them (the speakers) even more.  Then I ...
