Any good experience in discovering new music via TV or movie recently ?
Theme music from The News Room. 
members and their systems
I have wondered about this as well.  There must be some extremely rich people in this group and some extremely understanding wives.  I still have to answer to the gate keeper and I don’t want to take her on. 
Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ?
I like what ARCAM did with their AVR 850 with their class G technology.  Great design.  I would imagine the big concern would be the heat factor.  AB is a good compromise.   
Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
Delay, you know when your listening room is too cluttered when you have to ask where are the speakers. 
Speaker Suggestions/Opinions
Hilde5 I never heard of Fritz speakers.  What do you think of the Focal 948 Aria’s?  I like the detail but thought they lacked bass.  I wonder what they would sound like with a pair of RELL S2’s?  I have a pair of Paradigm Prestigue with a pair of... 
Speaker Suggestions/Opinions
I think you would like the SALK line.  Very accurate sound with great drivers and cabinets. 
Straight out of the box doesn't work.
I can't believe people like fuzztone are allowed to participate in this group.  This was a question from someone who just asked an honest question hoping to get answers from a group of experts. 
"Real" streamer vs. Bluetooth adapter--what's the advantage?
I like my BlueSound Node 2i.  I like the way it interfaces with Tidal.   
Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100?
I heard a pair of Spendor D9's at the RMAF two years ago with a friend of mine and they drove us out of the room within 2 minutes.  We felt they were too bright.  However, it could have been the amp driving them.  That perhaps had a lot to do with... 
Full circle and thinking about speakers
I just Googled your speakers and they look like a bookshelf speaker built in a tower cabinet.  Does the added space below the speakers serve to enhance the sound or are they designed to just look like tower speakers.  I have not seen these before.... 
Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving?
Right now, I don't know why anyone would get off their chair to load a CD in the player?  Especially when Tidal streams hi-res up to 24/196.  I find it very convenient to sit down and select artists and albums with the touch of a finger.  When I p... 
Sota or Technics
I would recommend upgrading your speakers to SALK Song3 Encore towers.  However, they are $6,000 and well worth the cost difference.  I met Jim Salk at the RMAF two years and I thought these sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers down the ... 
Help my analog sound as good as my streaming
There must be something about vinyl and I missed it.  I had a Technique turntable back in the 70's and purchased a $300 cartridge.  When I started buying $30 master recorded vinyl, I could really hear the difference.  However, getting off the sofa... 
Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark.
I can't understand why audiophiles spend so much money on a turn table, cartridge and vinyl?  I hear often a lot of noise with the needle is tracking on a record.  Andy, you have to get up, wash the record you want to listen to and spend all that ... 
Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al
I can't agree more with you.  I purchased a pair of REL S2 SHO subwoofers and I still don't know if I have them set up right.  They should have a DVD or online video walking you through the steps.  Great subwoofers though.
