@lordmelton I am no crossover sniffer but that is atrocious

Focal Aria 936 vs B&W 802d
Get this floor stander pair that digs so deep into the bass region, has zero glare and has tremendous midrange clarity and focus. With exceptional imaging and precision whilst being not edgy or show room sounding. They just let music shine @oneho... 
Speakers for new room
The Wharfedale I have heard extensively in a very pragmatic audiophile's room. He had them integrated well with his room and they sounded incredibly coherent. No glaring, no showroom sound (which may impress on first listen but become annoying la...

@onehorsepony what is your budget like?  
Focal Aria 936 vs B&W 802d
@onehorsepony, you son has the better speaker when it comes to being less glarey in the upper midrange which makes for a more coherent presentation of music. Also the room/speaker synergy with listening position seems better on his end and that is... 
Tilting B&W 802D speakers slightly forward or backward
@onehorsepony sell them. That has been B&W tonal Identity philosophy for the past 15 years. Showroom sound that captures the mind on first listen and sounds "exciting" only to offend with it's penchant for glare, hollowness and unneeded harmon...

Recommend ~9"-wide 2-ch Power Amp with XLR input - please

WiiM Ultra as Preamp
It is a great Preamp. Works flawlessly and as it should without influencing much outside of when you use the DSP tool onboard. Great software too @jl35   
Your thoughts or experiences with two specific turntables: Thorens 124 DD vs SME Model 12
I'm biased towards direct drives because of their better WOW and Flutter rejection. Efficiency of spin too. A friend uses the 124 and is very happy with them. Direct drives when done well are hard to beat @letitbe1306   
Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse?
@coltrane1 uhm Class D isn't a new topology for amp implementation  
Are streamers digitally enhanced?
@soix Fortunately I'm not plagued by the ability to hear difference between asynchronously timed bits over USB for a streamer so yeah I enhanced my system by the only ways that sounded audible to me. Do not feel sorry for me, I am content with whe...
