Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature
Apparently they just liked Dylan best.   Just like we get to pick the audio products we like best based on their merits as we see them.  Others will see something different most likely.  It's an art not a science.  So I guess you'll never please e... 
Help, my system sounds lifeless!
Not familiar with this gear but in general one should make sure hearing is in good shape whenever a system that should sound good sounds "lifeless".   Especially before making any changes.  Ears need periodic maintenance and cleaning sometimes jus... 
DVD Rippers are Cheap and CD Transports are Not -- Why?
Transports alone (with no buffering or storage of data otherwise) have to be able to read data from discs fast enough to keep up with the timing of the music in real time. That’s somewhat harder to do, though CD players and trasports have been doi...

I heard them at Capital Audiofest last summer and sound was top notch one of the most enjoyable at the show and there were many good sounding rooms. 
Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound
Ohmspeakers.com. Has all shapes and sizes of their Walsh models for placement most anywhere and I find they tend to sound as big and open as anything for their size.  Might be worth a look.

Now of course people who hear a product and it leaves no impression or a bad one are not likely to report or start a thread unless asked. .   But still every good review counts for something though ymmv.  
Chuck Berry will be 90 next week.

Any one not sure about Dylan or the importance of Johnny Cash should read what Dylan wrote when Cash died. http://www.frankgrizzard.info/public_html/cash.html

Not gonna harp. Everyone made their points. That’s what forums are for. They look like a quality product. Just add a good sub or two if needed. Or do like many happily do and just go small and don’t give that often problematic bass a chance get in...

Whats playing on your system today?

Charles the facts are that $3600 is expensive for speakers that size and that speakers that size will have predictable limitations.What happens from there is anyone’s guess and that's what makes the world go round.Cheers.

Logic is useless if facts are selectively disregarded.What you I or gawd thinks sounds best is no indicator of what the the next guy will think.   Anyone can read the arguments and draw their own conclusions.   
RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5
Gawd you just demonstrated my point again.   $3600 would be a paltry sum to get the sound and performance possible for $348,000.     You also likely need a very large room, maybe an auditorium or sports stadium  to be able to say $348000 is a palt...
