Is live reproduction the goal of audio?
Definitely go for the industry standard green dumpster. 9 out of 10 professional sanitation engineers can't be wrong! You can tenderize your steak before you boil it using the sledge hammer. When it's done, throw it all in there with the Bose spea...

I guess if you own a stereo you qualify ,but why dump on bose then?Touche! I dump on Bose because I know that for the same amount of money you can have a much more rewarding investment. But that's just my opinion, as is everything I'm putting out ...

I always wonder how I got this brown nose....Yeah, I had to get out my hip-waders a while ago. What's all this crap about par-boiled steaks and race car mechanics. Y'er loosing me C5150. Practicioners of the high-art of the kingdom of audiophiledo...

Ol' Chuck 101 has clearly been doing some searching for it himself since he's obviously got his head buried deep up his own dark cavity, and has yet to contribute anything here beyond what he's found up there! Marco

Snatch the pebble from the crack of my ass young Grasshopper, and it will be time for you to wash your hands!Marco

I don't know that I agree with your last statement C5150. I'm not sure what your point is there either. I'm not sure that all we need to do is agree on the fucntion. I may prefer a different rendition from a specific album than you prefer...perhap... 
unison intergrated what speakers?
I'll second Soliloquy as a great match. I've heard the Unico paired with two different pairs of 5.3's in both a room of about the same dimensions as you quote with 8' ceilings, as well as a much larger room with no close sidewalls and a 9' ceiling... 
So You Think You Know Your Mozart?
It might be harder for younger ears ;~)Would '39' qualify as "younger ears"? My wife got 10/10 and identified every piece as well...listening from the other room through my laptop speakers. She thought it ridiculously easy and asked if there was a...

The problem with humans are they don't intrepret thier perceptions right. A computor is said to be smart. Well if i look at it I'm convinced that if I give it a problem that it will give me the right answer. If I ask a human he will probably error...

Furthermore; in the case of music it is the vibrations that we are responding to. It is precisely because we are human that we have any response to this stuff at all. We ascribe some meaning to those responses...good, bad, warm, cold, green, blue,...

Perception is not reality, and reality cannot be subjective. People too often confuse opinion for fact.Perhaps not, but 'perception' is all any of us have. It is how we experience 'reality'. Absolutely agreed, people frequently confuse their own o...

Just like you did?Ah, but you see I have the whole ensemble; the lips, the round rubber nose, clown shoes....I've got the whole Bozo thing going on! As Tvad indicated, I'm sure folks would appreciate if you had something more to contribute aside f...

Hey lookee there, Charlie made a funny! Your gold star and wax clown lips are on the way in the mail to you now! Congratulations.C5150 - "100% Truth" is entirely relative. Put 100 people in a room. Play some music on a stage in front. Ask the 100 ... 
Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews
Of the population that reads Stereophile, the best demographic, us, is reachable without paying their preposterous price by simply reaching out to the Audiogoners.As successfull as Audiogon is (it's also a partner with Stereophile now, by the way)... 
Klipsch speakers sound better than ever
Mechans - it is very easy to swap out the crossover, given the new crossover is designed as a drop-in replacement (and most are). It is simply a matter of removing the securing screw on the original (screws crossover down to body of the speaker), ...
