| Offer / counter-offer? Audiogon rules If the customer walks what do you have then? 0 + 0 = 0. Great time to add to the sale and increase your revenues when you get them to part with their money rather than sitting on your inventory. There is something called the cost of money. Peo... | |
| Margin on speaker sales by high end dealer What do you think retailers like Nordstrom and Macy's make? You know this when they offer their 50% off sales. A shirt selling for $100 suddenly selling for $50. You can't tell me their cost is $45. I am sure they are paying $25 which means th... | |
| The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier What kind of speakers are you using? | |
| Focal kanta 2 vs Sonus faber olympica 2..which to buy? Neither! Buy Salt Audio. Much better. | |

| Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound. As they say. Junk in equals junk out. | |

| Tekton speakers with Ribbon / AMT ?? I would listen to a pair of Martin Logan Motion 60's first to see if you like the sound of ribbon tweeters. I for one liked them when I first heard and fortunately I went back to listen to them for a hour and felt I would develop ear fatigue. Un... | |
| Why are there so many wooden speakers? Perhaps this is why they make string instruments out of wood. Ever hear of the word resonance. What would you make them out of? What are the best materials you can use to make speakers. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) If you can afford to spend $6,000, I would buy a pair of SALK Song3 Encore towers. I heard these at the RMAF in Denver and they sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers down the hall. Call Jim Salk and tell him Larry Edwards from Denver se... | |
| Explain what is a clean power amplifier? I use Pinesol to get clean power from my amp. | |
| Do Audiophile Cables Matter? Here's PROOF! This was a really good explanation. However, how much would a good speaker cable and interconnects cost? | |
| Now I get it... People need to embrace streaming. It is the 21st century. However, I do like the look of a $20,000 turntable. |
