| Are the Paradigm Founder Series really, really good speakers? @todd1010 If you like the sound but want more bottom end support, moving up to the 100F would be a good idea if the additional cost is worth it to “you”. Simpler and probably cheaper than adding subs. | |

| Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers +1 Volti. The Razz sounded great at two different audio shows. So I purchased the larger Rival. Volti also has a new model Lucera sells for $11,750/pair which is above the Razz but below the Rival. The Lucera also has a 15” woofer like the Rival. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Digital Audio sound enhancements- the Good and the Bad The Good: it’s great to have many choices, at all price points, to enhance one’s sonics. Products such as DEQX, audiophile switches, filters, LPS, master clocks, routers, BAACH+Mac…did I miss... | |
| Please be gentle with me! 🙏 @alan60 while your strategy yields sonic improvements, a very modest (in terms of cost) DAC upgrade would yield “significant” sonic uptick. There are many choices. We look at your entire audio chain and the DAC seems to be the weak link. FYI- ... | |
