How would you get into the biz?
I think we've reached a time when speaker boxes should consist of tapered tubes that are the theoretical ideal for absorbing the back wave.  B&W and Vivid have made very expensive speakers with this feature but I think it's high time more comp... 
Thiel Owners
I'm curious if anyone has bought or knows anyone who has bought a pair of post Jim Thiel speakers from Thiel.  There is a 4 store chain here in Chicago that was a Thiel dealer for decades but they aren't any more.  Does anybody know if the new spe... 
Full range or subwoofer with bookshelfs for best bass at low to moderate volume?
In my experience if you listen mostly to small scale music then a sub/sat approach is best.  If you like large scale music - symphonies, hard rock, maybe big band, then you'll prefer full range speakers.  Small woofers aren't satisfying on really ...

Interesting Magico news
Magico always seemed like a company that was started by someone with knowledge of sophisticated manufacturing techniques but who wasn't a particularly good speaker designer.  They used their knowledge to create wildly overpriced products because t... 
What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock?
I'm surprised there aren't more people talking about tyler acoustics for requests like this.  They specialize in really big speakers that will really rock with good quality drivers but that don't cost a ton.   
Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket
I always wanted to try a pair of the big tyler acoustics speakers.
