What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
The new Borressen C1 reportedly approaches the sound of the M1, but at a much more affordable price point. Agree that the Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene sound terrific whose sonics are significantly above their price point.  
Speaker isolation feed effect
After a lot of research, the Gaia feet and Townsend Platforms seem the best, not sure how much the more expensive Wilson or Magico products compare.  Of the 2, the Townsend seems to perform slightly better.    
Devore 093 compared to o96
FWIW, a Devore dealer felt that the 96 was significantly better than the 93.  I only demoed the 96 and loved the sound. I’ve demoed the best/latest speakers I could find at high-end audio shows and many dealerships.  The 96 is one of the most mus... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
I just speak about what is possible to improve the sound quality and the Xover is a weakness on most loudspeakers  @audioman58 - are you referring to parts quality, xover design weakness, or both?

What's the value in lots of capacitors inside a line stage preamp?
I’m just starting to learn about electric circuits and am fortunate my audio club offered a class including using a meter and oscilloscope . Still trying to figure out what signal generator to buy. Anyway, I’m learning about capacitors here  
why expensive streamers
@blisshifi  Maybe copy your post then paste on the next round of “it’s only 1s and 0s” If they can’t hear it’s extremely likely (near 100%) their system is not transparent enough.

Next time, I suggest doing a search for this topic rather than starting the 2,134,568th thread on the same topic with the same reponses. +1 @herman it a bit fatiguing repeating again and again. Short answer the data rides on an analog stream ... 
My new B Stock speakers
Congratulations on your new speakers. I’m a fan of the BE sound, didn’t care for the B&W sound.  Stop worrying about past measurements as it’s irrelevant when compared to the sonics you personally enjoy.  
Speakers for SET 8 Watt 300B system?
This thread started 10yrs ago, the OP likely moved on  
Pads or Spikes?
+ Townshend Podiums seem to sonically be the best closely followed by GAIA footers.  
A speaker stand with room for an amp?
