Question about speaker angle
As others have said, entirely depends on the speaker. But keep in mind in order to get a sound stage, or a wider sound stage… Sometimes you have to reduce the tow in. I had such Cornwallis before I had Harbeths, and the Harbeths are totally differ... 
Large speaker recommendation
If you have the space, Cornwall 4s have taken the Klipsch legacy line into new territory… they are worth a listen. Strings, guitars, and horns are fantastic. Voices are very good as well.  
most beautiful (looking) speakers
Vintage, but as beautiful as anything today…the Tannoy Little Gold Monitors 🤓  
The panic selling of tube audio had begun.
Yes, seems silly to be talking about tubes when people are being murdered by a mad man who has something against “oysters and gender freedom”. Suspect someone will put a bullet in his head at some point…and the world will be a better place. but b... 
Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied?
So, and again not being critical, but having been a person who thought blue sound is good sounding… I would start there. I see you do have a turntable as well, so you can compare the two sources. But both the streaming function and the DAC found ... 
Is Old Music Killing New Music?
I disagree with the premise of the article as well. I’m just about 65, and I started streaming about two years ago. There is so much great music being produced right now that the old stuff, is really starting to seem very old to me. I would say pr... 
To Buy or to DIY, here is my question
2nd having a good look at Troels Gravesens site… lots of experience there. Check out also builders projects completed. Lots of great ScanSpeak and Seas projects. I’m seriously considering the loudspeaker 2. I would say these are moderately hard wo...

BIG difference Tidal vs Amazon Music
I recently switched my digital cable between my streamer and my DAC, from a mid-level cable to the top of the companies lineup. What a difference, contrary to what people say, the digital cable plays a big part. I stream Tidal, And everything soun... 
Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?
I’m using Duelund 12 g double runs. It gives a very natural presentation…  
Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II
Well I did the same thing, except with a Venus to Denafrips and a couple year-old note 2i … There wasn’t really any comparison for me the Denafrips was superior.  
Can it get better?
I agree with a person who says it’s not about integrated versus separate component. If you want tone and texture, I would look at some of the more powerful tube offerings That are available these days. Cayin Makes some very beautiful amps, integra...

What Is So Special About Harbeth?
Harbeths are very precise, a little bit too relaxed at some points, but when you have them well placed, away from the wall and not toed in too much, they can be quite fantastic. However, I have had as much fun or more with Klipsch Cornwalls, somet... 
Your method for discovering great music.
Every Friday Tidal has new cuts for me, I don’t alway find a new great artist, but likely every second week. Streaming is fantastic. New this week, Anne Ash. A hi end streamer is Critical to any audio system for me.
