| Speakers that are a great value! Polk is good value. | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? It happens. | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Audiophiles are a dying breed. I say we admit members with smartphones and a good pair of headphones, not require they must suffer with 100 year old + technology to prove their worth. | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers I’m sure they sound fantastic and are quite the statement piece. I think the issue is that people have a hard time fathoming $800K speakers. Don’t know why. After all this is a high end audio site and you don’t get much more high end than that. I’... | |
| Speakers that are a great value! I’d like to hear a shootout between $10k Ohm 5015s and 800k Magico M9s. I see value potential there. | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers Better get them in the right spot and not have to move them. | |

| Desktop speaker upgrade from KEF LS50s (<$6K budget) Again I would not upgrade until you get a pair of isolating stands under the ls50s on a desktop. Recommend Isoacoustics. You will want that under any good quality wide range speakers that go on a desk unless you want to hear the desk along with yo... | |
