| Axpona 2023 The best value proposition in loudspeakers is the DIY approach. If you spend $2,000 on drivers, tweeters and XO parts and another $1,000 on materials, provide your time and labor free, your $3,000 speakers will be on a par with $10-12k manufact... | |
| Class A Integrated amps If you are sure you are buying a Klipsch speaker then I would look for a Luxman or Pass INT used with low miles. That will confirm for you that you were missing something. Even your Fischer will make the new speakers sound good. | |
| Revel F228be Buy the best Luxman Integrated you can swing. Speakers are not your anchor. | |
| Franco Serblin Ktêma Loudspeakers I heard the mid range model -$20k MSRP paired with an older Pass 350.5 at Seattle Stereo a couple months back and thought they were better than the Sonus Faber product. I listened at the show in the smaller room and thought they would have been ... | |
| Borresen X3 at Axpona The essence is the Borresen line uses a patented material in the drivers. Lars Christensen gave a 6 minute explanation at RMAF one year that I videoed. Read up on line for a more accurate explanation. | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? It might be a good idea to rate lines by a minimum age. Like Movies. Highest priced lines are Rated XXX Over 30 to view Moderate Lines rated R for buyers 25+ Affordable Lines PG for "Pretty Good" All ages | |

| Axpona 2023 The Cambridge People impressed me as well. And it wasn't only because of the free beer. | |
| Axpona 2023 Pretty impossible to go into every room. Friday I like to check the music sales room before all the good stuff is gone. Elusive Disc had a bigger selection of XRCDs than I have ever seen so they took some of my money. I have been Borresen... | |
| Care to offer comparisons? Wilson, YG, Magico, Stenheim, Rockport, Audio Note I see a couple dogs on the list and some names missing. | |
| Phoenix and Tucson Record Shops? Record High sets the standard for only selling decent quality LPs. Dan the owner has great new stuff each week. Zia is a chain and has the ability to check all stores for items as it is computerized. A real plus when shopping LPs or CDs. | |
| 2023 DAC comparison: MSB Select vs dCS Vivaldi Apex vs Wadax Atlantis Reference I spent two days last week with an old friend in the Bay Area who has been selling the best hifi lines available for many years. His store carries the DCS line because it is the best sounding product available. | |
| Goodbye Everyone Pearls before swine eh? | |
| Integrated SET... Electrokit? | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? I would look at the AudioNote Hemp speakers. They cost around $5-7k new and can go close to the back wall. Way better than the 5's but double the price. |
