Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally
I have the passives, Which I love. I tilted them back a bit and took the edge off of the tweeter. Also, for low volume, I’m using a Loki, which is easy to flip on  and off , and has absolutely no hum or noise or anything else. There’s plenty of in... 
why do so many discussions turn contentious?
I have found it ironic and a bit disheartening that in a thread predicated on understanding and perhaps minimizing gratuitous incivility, some posts demonstrate the problem. Posters have argued with belittling statements, others have singled out t... 
why do so many discussions turn contentious?
What constitutes an opinion and what constitutes a fact can also be a point of contention sometimes. And when we attach moral value to a preference or an opinion, it never works out too well. I’m not trying to weigh in on any particular fact or no...

Is it ever enough?
Thank you, Ray.For me, your post was moving and thoughtful and insightful. I wonder how many other forum members are in a life circumstances in which audio is much more important to them than it is to me, despite my feeling as though it’s a big pr... 
why do so many discussions turn contentious?
I think the circumstance is endemic to people, as opposed to posters within this forum. Perhaps people interested in audio serves as a filter that attracts a certain level of personal evolution and is therefore skewed more toward the negative then... 
Loudest Sound Ever?
The Krakatoa explosion was heard 3000 miles away. It ruptured eardrums 100 miles away.
