JTR Speakers, why so much?
Measurements are good to say the least. You can see a bit of horn coloration or comb filtering around 5k but impressive and even more impressive from a small company.    https://www.avnirvana.com/threads/jtr-noesis-212rt-review-and-measurements... 
JTR Speakers, why so much?
I think if you are open to the sound of horns they have a lot of potential (again I have not heard them). They measure very well and have silly output levels. I have found high output speaker translate to a sense of ease when listening to music an... 
JTR Speakers, why so much?
I think they are priced fairly. Take the 215RT. It has two 15” pro drivers that are very capable. The coaxial high/mid driver is $550 to buy. The large cabinet is made of birch ply I believe. I have never heard them but would like to sometime and...

Since when does audiogon support pictures?  
Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass
Yes subs always subs. Bass needs tuned to the room. Subs make it easier not harder. Adjustability will get you off the marry-go-round.   
Horn speakers are really bright?
lordrootman,congrats on the kids!  I have a 4yr and a 4 month old. My 4 year old daughter is great about not messing with my gear but it is her friends/cousins I have watch out for. My main system is in my basements with a locked door so no worrie... 
Wilson not delivering speakers as scheduled
No experience with wilson but Revel quoted 6-8 month but I found a demo pair in stock instead. McIntosh quoted 3-4 months and it showed up in 2.  
Bye Bye Puppy!
That is good. Wilson don’t lack bass for sure.  
Why the hate for mcintosh amps?
femoore12The looks of the C3500 are not for me but does not matter as it is priced way out of my range. 
Perlisten S4b and D12s in house
So Erin’s audio corner says the drivers are not made by SB acoustics. Maybe the driver cone is sourced form the same place (TeXtreme), as some of AB acoustics’ drivers, Interesting. https://youtu.be/XMiavksmOCA

verdantaudio,Thanks, a quick scan of the manual just shows a low-pass not a high-pass but correct me if I am wrong. Interesting brand for sure. I am interested in opinions as more people hear them. The measurements are about a good as a passive sp... 
Is this Klipsch upgrade worth it?
coachpoconnor,when I demoed the Cornwall IV they were right next to the wall. I pulled them out to roughly 5’ and felt no gain in soundstage and a slight loss of low bass. I ended up demoing them at less than 30” off the front wall and they sounde... 
Is this Klipsch upgrade worth it?
No I would not make that upgrade. I have heard both and the current La Scala (at two different dealers). The Cornwall iv and La Scala were in the same room with the same front end at both dealers. The Cornwall IV has the potential to have harder h...

Just YouTube but you can get the idea. https://youtu.be/LYn8Fj7ItnY 
Perlisten S4b and D12s in house
Yes I see now you used the D12s not the D212s that is $7000. I buy in pairs so $7000 is hard to swallow but $4000 seems reasonable lol. It would be nice if they had a highpass though. My JL subs have broke a multiple times. They will be my last JL...
