B&W speakers sounding very harsh?
I met with a B&W dealer on Monday and they told me B&W tweeters are very bright, even brighter than the Martin Logan Motion 60 ribbon tweeters.  Perhaps these are too bright for your ears.  Ear fatigue is a real.  I wish mine were brighter... 
HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything.
How long did you purchase?Perhaps it is not too late to cancel the order and contact your credit card company to stop payments? 
Sopra 2 Bass
I wonder what a pair of REL S2's would do to your sound?  I added a pair of these and it really made a difference.  You have to dial them in so they don't stand out from your main speakers.  If done correctly, they will act more like additional la... 
Why has focal raised their prices so much on Sopra line
With increased government spending comes inflation.  It depends upon where the money comes from.  I do think we need to update our infrastructure.  They either will increase taxes or print more money.  Either way we will all witness less net incom... 
What speaker has the best tweeter?
You need to be careful to avoid high frequency fatigue.  Fortunately I went back to listen for two hours to a pair of Martin Logan Motion 60’s with ribbon tweeters.  To date I have not listened to a better pair of speakers than a pair of SALK Sing... 
Had Three Different Speaker Thoughts; Now A Fourth
Why would you use a book shelf speaker for such a large room? 
any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with
Can you really here a difference!  Even if you do a blind test.  A dealer told me a Belcanto sounds better, but no one talks about Bellanto.  If so what causes the sound difference?  Is it clock speed. 
Adding Home Theater To 2 Channel System
Perhaps think about getting an ARCAM AVR 850 and adding a center channel speaker and two rear surround speakers.  Whey you switch to two channel there is plenty of clean power as the first 50 watts are pure A. 
Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance
Why not use the castors to move them into place then switch over to solid footing once you obtain desired sound stage?  A dealer here strongly recommend master setting.  I wonder how many in this group have set their speakers this way. 
Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels.
I would think the more efficient the better.I wonder why no one mentions Focal.  I tried to like the Aria 948’s and even those were weak on bass.  I did think the tweeters sounded good. 
Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions?
I posted a response and recommended he contact Jim Salk at Salk Audio.  However, my response was removed.  Are we not allowed to recommend manufactures who sell direct?  They make incredible speakers.  I was not aware they remove a response if you... 
Blindfold Speaker testing
What is wrong with his question?  All you need to do is blind fold the listener and remove the curtain.  This would be a great experiment. 
How many of you are digital only systems?
I haven’t used my CD player in 3 years after buying my BlueSound Node 2i. 
Money Well spent
It is a shame some have to rip this guy apart for asking a question.  Some of us joined this group because we want to learn and not be criticized. 
New Bluesound Node – First Impressions
I meant to ask what changed did BlueSound make with the new BlueSound Node 2i ?  I would think BlueSound would by now offer a higher end streamer so they can expand their market share.  Seems a bit crazy because it sounds like the more expensive D...
