| Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer? I went with "convenience." After extensive research and auditioning of numerous different types of streamers and combinations of steamers and DACs, etc, I ended up going with the a very high end DAC/streamer combo that works phenomenally well for... | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? audiogon.com | |
| Boressen speakers Borresen speakers.........Sure, they sound incredible!!! But, so do so many other speakers and brands that (to my ears) sound just as incredible, and can be had for so much less. I think I’ll just stick with my good old faithful pals, my phenomen... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? Absolutely!!!! Revel Salon 2 speakers. | |
| "Diminishing Returns" tomcy6: I said what I meant, and I meant what I said. Thank you. | |
| "Diminishing Returns" audioman58: Thanks for the upgrade suggestions, but I'm perfectly satisfied with what I have. Happy listening. | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? daveyf: Me personally, I want it all when it comes to being able to experiencing the full frequency range and also the entire musical spectrum in my room-----no matter how small (within reason, of course). Most all speakers, even stand mount speak... | |

| New DAC with streamer Ayre Acoustics QX-5 Twenty DAC/Streamer!!!! You would not be disappointed. | |
| "The Ultra High-End Speaker." Steve59: You are correct. Based on my own personal experience, the Hegel H390 are definitely underpowering the Revel Salon 2 speakers. I tried it and experienced the same underwhelming results that you did. The H390 doesn't have enough juice t... | |
| California Audio Show 2023 I attended. It was extremely downsized from the previous shows but I was just happy that there was a show to go to in the SF Bay area again. However, it was an outstanding show just the same. Hopefully in the future the CAS will continue to gro... | |
| "The Ultra High-End Speaker." My point being: There's a number of super high quality moderately priced speakers out there like mine that perform at such high levels of proficiency and produce such astonishingly superb sound quality that, inch for inch, pound for pound, one ha... |
