Von Schweikert VR2 verses Infinity RSIIIB
07-11-14: Geph0007I think they are beyond OK. Here is the issue. Funds are beyound tight. I can keep this pair for $500. What could I could I find for $500 that would even be close?The budget narrows the parameters. I take it that you could get th... 
Bose 901 series VI & Yamaha A-S2000
The Parts Express 901 replacement driver is $18.75 ea. in quantity, less than 1/3 of what Bose charges for an OEM driver. So the drivers are probably worth around $10-11 each wholesale. The Parts Express drivers appear to have about the same build... 
Von Schweikert VR2 verses Infinity RSIIIB
I would recommend you look into the LSA Design LSA2 tower speaker. It is in current production and available in three performance levels--Standard, Signature, and Statement. The Standard model is evidently inspired by—if not outright derivative fr...

Bose 901 series VI & Yamaha A-S2000
Tone Audio reviewed the 901 Series VI recently. The verdict? A lot going for 'em, especially at the $1400/pr retail. Review here. 
Sennheiser HD650 and ipod
I have a pair of Sennheiser 580s, and I use them with my laptop and iPod frequently and with great success. And by that I mean the mdirange is transparent, the treble is smooth but extended, and the bass is extended and tight, especially for being... 
Why Merlins sound better then Sonus Faber

Why Merlins sound better then Sonus Faber
Unistar99, I'd hardly call the Olympica II and III lower end models. You might call the Venere series lower end in that they're all made in China and $3500 or less. But the Olympica series use the staved construction of the higher end models and a...

Now that this thread's been going on for 3-1/2 months, what's your current budget, Dave_72? 
Why Merlins sound better then Sonus Faber
07-05-14: Unistar99Macrijack, i am actually trying to understand when paying for SF is it actually that you get ba etter sound or are paying directly for the craftmanship, material and design more then for the reproduction of the sound and that is...

Hey Alex, project much?The more you post, the worse the impression you make. 
Why Merlins sound better then Sonus Faber
The Merlin VSM is actually about the same price as the stave-constructed Sonus Faber Olympica III. If you are looking at high performance 2-way towers, the bargain in the bunch would be the Odyssey Lorelei, a 90-lb. 2-way that uses the same very e...

But, in my view, I just can't help but feel that this business with Ctsooner, anyway, has damaged his reputation. That to me is unfortunate. But, if nothing else, I'm sincerely hoping Alex will come to understand and appreciate our heritage of the... 
Audiophile Active Speakers?
I wonder how the Emotiva Pro lines of self-powered speakers would compare to the Adams. They have a similar Heil-style folded ribbon tweeter and a broad price range--from $399/pr to $1498/pr. 
Best imaging and sounding bookshelf speaker
I'd sure give the KEF LS50s a listen.
