Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K.
Vandersteen 2Ce Signature and TWO 2Wq subwoofers. Total price retail is about $4,500 with stands. But I think most dealers would work with you on the price if you buy that much product from them. Now you must have a big room to make it all work. B... 
Where will audio be in 10 years?
Wireless,all in one electronics, small& stylish. More for decor and invisibility than sound. Much as we like to hate Bose they are in touch with the trends. They are almost there today. 
Is this
I would sell the Kenwood "As Is". It is not worth the time and effort to get it fixed up. The old solid state sound is bad-bad-bad. I know, I have an old Marantz receiver that was pretty much state of the art around that time and I now find it unl... 
Santana
See and hear his performance at Woodstock. That's where I first fell in love with his type of soul music. You can tell watching him perform that he feels the notes down in his soul. 
A little levity on September 1st
Great stuff. I loved #1. It also reminds me of the IMO or IMHO stuff I see all the time. I always want to say, "Oh really. Is it really your very own opinion? I thought you were giving me some other persons' opinion." People when you give your opi... 
tweak, do they realy bring improvement?
Yes they do work to a very minor degree in most cases,HOWEVER,what people are trying to do with them is to fix what are room tune problems. To do that properly, unfortunately, you need a pro with experience and the proper equipment to do it right.... 
Some info. you guys might find interesting.
After reading all of the articles, I would suggest anyone putting out large sums of money trying to achieve the ultimate in sound for their rooms,it would appear to be essential to have someone with this person' skills and knowledge to tune their ... 
Some info. you guys might find interesting.
The articles also give you something to think about for your own room and system. 
should everyone just order emm?
Yes you should jump into the lake. But don't forget to tie the Levinson gear to your ankle. 
New Stereophile format
Kurt tank you spent $13 a year so you could read advertisements? I know the reviews are just advertisements but I never would have imagined that someone would subscribe to read the ads. Send me $20 a year and I'll send you a bunch of ads. Happy re... 
Thoughts on single driver speakers
I tried the single driver route. My experience was that I heard some of the benefits and I also heard the problems. They can sound very clear and coherent and,most importantly, involving. I couldn't, however, get over the obvious reduction in bass... 
What do you look like?
A lot! 
sound of jitter
Oh no Mmrog, those cubes jingle jangle jinglin' on the side of the glass is the sound of jitter. Yes I have heard that sound many times. The cure I describe for jitter works everytime. Makersmark is my favorite brand for the cure. It is a multipur... 
sound of jitter
Take a highball glass and then put in three ice cubes. Put in a large amount of bourbon. Pick-up glass. Shake hand from side to side in short quick movements. That is jitter. Cure for jitter? Drink glass full of bourbon.

Forget that Bose stuff. And I like some Bose stuff. For sale right now is a used NAD 314 for $175obo and Axiom 3ti speakers for $200. Much better than the Yamaha and the PSB. You'll also save $150 if you get the guy with NAD down a bit. Hurry! Hur...
