Speakers known for great midrange.
I'll have to throw another plug for Dynaudio. In all my years of listening/owning different brands I have not found any other speaker that can compete with the Danes, especially in the mids...  
Speakers: Anything really new under the sun?
I was actually in the exact same situation about 4 years ago. 20 year hiatus and then wanted to get back in. I feel you 100% jaybird! Had the same thoughts and wonders...But I knew where I left off was where I should start. With the speaks. Back t... 
Sound Better w/Amp Directly Into Wall Then Thru Zero Surge
@johnto VERBATIM! This is exactly what both Shunyata and the folks at Simaudio  said. I had reached out to Shunyata on a question regarding one of their power cords and when I mentioned I had my amp plugged into a Furman Elite 20PFi Richard at Shu... 
What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to?
@bigtex22 GREAT post! I've often wondered this same thing.   
Speakers with a slightly warm midrange
I would add Dynaudio. I have a pair of Sonus Faber Sonetto III and also Dynaudio Evoke 50. For me, I find the Danes to be much more airy and lifelike. The SF's almost sound a bit more muddled when compared to the Dynaudio's. Believe me I am not kn... 
Power Conditioner question
I just sort of threw out a similar post a while back. I too use Transparent cables. My IC's and speaker cables are all Transparent. However I have found that I think certain cable manufacturers do certain things better. For example I think Transpa...

Decisive moments your your audio journey

Bel Canto opinions
Great advice, thank you all very much for sharing! Also great to hear such positive news on the BC! Definitely even more anxious to get my paws on it. It should arrive Thursday. Think I'll go directly to the wall outlet. Plus I am using a Shunyata... 
The Cable Co
@david_ten thanks for sharing man. I still can’t believe what they did for me!😊😊😊  
Bel Canto opinions
Thanks Soix! I was truly shocked at the difference with my Sim amp going directly to the outlet and bypassing the Furman. But I know class D amps are a bit if a different animal…tThanks again man, I appreciate you taking the time to respond😌  
Bel Canto opinions
Thank you very much for the replies! Appreciate the support! And now I’m even more excited :)!   I’ll be using a Shunyata Venom NR V10 power cord for the BC should I plug it into my Furman PST8 or directly into the wall outlet? For the longest t... 
Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati has signed off :-(
Thanks @johnnycamp5 😀...Always nice to know others share those same feelings...Very sad sometimes to think of days gone by and think of how things were and see how things are now.   
Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati has signed off :-(
Hi All,   You known I never really watched this particular show. I grew up watching Welcome Back Kotter, SWAT, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea...However I remember Johnny Fever vividly. And when I saw news of this yesterday it struck me...Is it ...

Thanks for the great responses - nice to know I'm not alone here😃! Weird though huh? Maybe certain companies put their better techs in the Speaker/IC manufacturing cell vs the power cable cell and then some vice versa?
