I lied to my wife about the price of Stax 009S headphone
I triple the price. She objects. By the time I tell her the truth, she is relieved.  
Looking for a good full range floor stander
I like the Joseph Audio Perspective2 Graphenes. They fill my 18’ wide 25’ deep 10’ tall room easily using 300 watt per side amps. They are a speaker to hold onto for life. Audiotroy is biased.  
Bel Canto ACI600 vs Black EX Sepates
I moved from Bel Canto 2.7 and REF600M amps to the Black EX separates. It is a significant step up. Yes, the SEEK app accesses Tidal from the Ethernet connection.  It is the cleanest connection to Tidal. Before you ask, yes the quality of the Ethe...

I am not limiting my comment to Joseph Audio speakers. I think 2 feet from the back wall to the tweeter is not enough space for any speaker. Speaker set up is critical. I would recommend Jim Smith’s’s book, “get better sound.”

Anyone here with Magico A3 driven by Bel Canto Ref600's?

Back to the topic, Stereophile rates the Bel Canto REF600M as Class A with $$$, meaning they are an excellent buy. They have an iron grip on bass, and smooth and silky midrange and top end.

Good salesman do not attack potential customers. Good salesmen are not rude and sarcastic.  Good salesman know what they are talking about.

 @tgun5 Audiotroy is not hearing what you are saying.

To answer your question audiotroy, all of them apparently hear better. It is not necessarily hearing, but in your case, bias founded in financial self-interest. For $5K, and I have owned them, the REF600M are terrific, award-winning amps at a grea...

Yes, audiotry’s opinion trumps all of the Absolute Sound editors and writers.
