Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!!
+1 @hilde45 That said I realize the Stand Mount Elysian 2's purchased and deployed last year are maybe not th forever's but sure fit my room, sound and visual preferences like they are staying forever.  
Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all?
If most listening is below, say 85 db, are room treatments still as important?  
Thanks to Paul McGowan
My 1200's have sat in the rack for over two years now and they are in play every day I'm home. They love music as much as I do and they do everything so well.   At the end of 2022 a new set of Wharfedale Elysian 2's arrived with matching stands ... 
New Outlets Lead to Better Sounding and Tasting Coffee
They have a location 3 blocks from my office. Ordered ahead and picking up on my way home today. Is there a burn in needed?  
New Outlets Lead to Better Sounding and Tasting Coffee
I didn't bother with reading any of the OP's details, or the posts, but I see we are discussing outlets (receptacles) and I can assure you that my buddy, who IS an EE, does not find a difference between standard or boutique devices so save your mo... 
Class D with high efficiency speakers
Give the PS Audio M1200's a trial. Class D using a long lasting tube for the input stage.   
Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh

USB yet again

HoloAudio STREAMER is out now
For DAC owners that seek a Swiss army knife for streaming/DDC this seems a great value proposition. After digging in I've learned the USB and clock implementations are inferior to those included in my DAC so scratching from my list. And the stream...

Wharfedale Elysian 2
I bought the Elysian 2 with stands this afternoon for a reasonable discount. Return policy included. What surprised me was the few reviews found and very little here as well. This thread is over a year old and I'm curios about current impressions...

Thanks Soix. I have been watching for a pair of the Pulsars. 😍  
Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma
I find so many similarities in this thread about my room and system I felt compelled to jump in. I am moving up a level in my current apt building and am using the bay windowed living room as my listening room. Dims are smaller at 13.5'W x 15.5'L... 
Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
My digital streaming journey started in 2018 and in that relatively short amount of time there have surfaced many different ways to set up and optimize the signal. I'm on board with helping to identify which solution helps with individual goals an...
