Moving away from inefficient/low impedance speaker in order to move to a Tube Amp
I have read over and over again how important it is to purchase high efficient speakers.  Why bog things down with a low impedance speaker?   I wonder what people think of either then Revel Performa's and the Paradigm Persona 3 speakers?  I did ... 
Listening to music I don’t particularly like
I too find myself listening to well recorded songs to hear my system.  Percussion is a big thing for me.   You might listen to these songs to hear what your systems are capable.  These are high quality recordings: 1. Girlfriend (Feat, Dam-Funk) ... 
Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass
If I were to use 4 subwoofers, I would need to custom stall wires and run them about 20 feet to the back wall..     I researched subwoofers for a year and I thought REL's were the way to go.  Their high level connection allows them to act more l... 
WTF: uncontrolled Tsunami of Spam pure crap post arising on AGON daily
I actually contacted Tammy about this and I did not receive a response.  I told her there is a rise in discussions polluted by cute comments.  I personally think there is no room for a put down.  However, there are a few who start a ridiculous dis... 
Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts
What I have noticed is most of the dealers are not willing to sell below full retail.  Some of the out of town retailers are willing to sell for less because they can burry the sale without anyone being the wiser.  Let's say they drop their price ... 
Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided
Right now I am working with two people who make a lot of sense.  I learned something to day and I won't forget it.  This person said you need to treat speaker wires and connects like components.  Up until now I didn't realize you can hear a differ... 
Replacement for current speakers suggestions
How can springs noticably change sound?  Does an amplifier jump around when being played?  Please explain this.  The more I listen to some of these discussions I am convinced many in this hobby are obscessive compulsive.  Not trying to put people ... 
Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers
I am working with a sales person at The Cable Company.  So far, we have upgraded my speaker wires and power cord.  I do hear a difference.  I am hearing greater detail and space.  I stream now 100% of the time.  My sales person said the next step ... 
$39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer?
Could someone buy me a new car?  
AGON screening to filter out crap new posts has regressed back to the pits..
I sent my concerns to Tammy and I am waiting for a response. I do wish people wouldn't try to make cute remarks or make people feel stupid.  If we all knew everything, why would we need this discussion group. I realize some of these discussions ... 
Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
Funny you should start this discussion, as I just sent a message to Tammy with my own concerns. I joined this group because I am a beginner and I want to learn more about how to create a better sounding system.  However, nearly every discussion i... 
Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned
I think many in this group tend to split hairs on trying to improve their system.  I think it would be very beneficial to use the knowledge in this group and discuss what is the next step to improve their system.  For example, do I buy better spea... 
Capital Audiofest, save thyself!
I totally agree with you.  I have them play three songs that truly are some of the best songs to demonstrate a systems capabilities.  We know in most cases what recordings show of a sound system.  We also know what kinds of music we like to play o... 
One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle.
You should try going to the Magnolia store in Lone Tree, Colorado.  The manager there is the most unfriendly person on the planet and then he expects you to buy something from him.  Our largest dealer in town with the best lines have sales people ... 
Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system
I keep hearing the name Luxman 509X.  I just wish I had the budget for this.
