| I'm confused - Different music...different speakers? Yeah love those Totems but they are undersized to deliver everything with any kind of music. Think bigger! Klipsch Heritage line would be a good place to start with a good quality tube amp like yours. OR adding a powered sub or two and integra... | |
| Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air For something completely different, keep an eye out for a pair of Ohm Microwalsh or 100 or 1000 speakers. You can always order new but seems Ohm is very backlogged of late so likely a wait there. Not easy to find used these days but worth the hun... | |

| A different world The streaming components don’t all have to be of highest quality. It just has to be done well, which most modern streamers and DACs are, for outstanding sound. The end result will depend on the entire system as always. | |
| A different world Yup. | |

| Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air I have both ls50s and ls 50 metas. If its the ls50s, you currently have, you really can't beat ls50 metas for overall performance for exactly your budget. | |
| Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air The Listening Room appears to just have received a number of B stock Harbeths that are up for sale. Not a bad way to start with something different. | |
| Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending? Dispersion pattern will be a major consideration regarding speaker placement. | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? How many units sold? Case closed. | |
| It’s all a matter of degree To each their own. Whatever turns you on. | |
| SUT Interconnects DNM Reson for unique coherency and overall sound and cost effectiveness but these are not shielded. Shielded ICs are safer in general between SUT and phone. I added custom mu metal foil shielding to my SUT section to facilitate using unshielded IC... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption Diversity should be welcome but not all diversity is necessarily welcome. Some has nothing to do with intelligence, ethics, values, or anything else of value to all. Just picking up on broad idealized assertions that are clearly not true. | |
| It’s all a matter of degree I try different things in different systems and in different rooms all at the same time. You might call me a hi fi bigamist. I like all kinds of sound but some better than others. |
