The number of 95% is not mine. It's an often referred to benchmark in audio magazines, books and reviews that I've read regarding a point of diminishing returns on investment. The entire point of this thread was to challenge this number and the co...

Jaybo, your point was made and understood three posts ago. What I see being discussed is where the audio industry is going, not what one label is releasing. I doubt anyone would disagree with your view of what is being released, and we all stand p...

Interesting news Treyhoss. Thanks for the input.I was simply ignoring Essentialaudio because his comments made no sense to me. I assume he thinks I'm listening to music, so ????????????? Yes I did comment on SACD, that is the reason for this threa... 
Which is the correct minimonitors position ?
Mapleshade Music has a number of suggestions, one I just read that I had never heard before. They suggested placing mini monitors on "their maple" platforms on the floor. They then tip the speaker back to point the tweeter at your ears. This does ...
