Speakers to audition at AXPONA 2015
2nd for the Ryan speakers. Disclosure: I am purchasing both pairs of show speakers to take back to Atlanta and use them as demos in my new showroom. 
A whole new meaning to "live" music
Working in hifi for 17 years has allowed me to see a lot of odd things show up inside speakers.2-3 lbs of dry dog food kibble in a pair of Polk Towers. At least a dozen different matchbox and hot wheels toy cars.Many many 3-6 inch action figures.E... 
New room forces longer speaker cables. K2 must go
Courant, Good idea on the Transparent Wall. You are right about the termination bricks adding up.Ozzy, Got any recommendations for a DIY speaker cable that performs above the norm?

Dunlavy SC4 Speakers
One very important distinction has not been made clear. Are these the first series with the Morel Woofers and Vifa 26 tweeters? If so, then the bass will roll off in most rooms around 45 hz. That seems to be "weak" but the good news is the bass th... 
Dunlavy SC-IV minus SC-I = a good sub?
River251, If you still have any interest in the DAL sound, take a look at the pristine pair of SC-IIIs I have for sale. i just got a quote to ship them from Atlanta to San Francisco for under $650 and that includes custom crates, freight and real ... 
thoughts please
Gassman, If you do move on from the SC Vs, please let me know if you are willing to sell them. I own SC-IVs ( Improved version, almost full SC-IVA ) and have been looking for some Vs. 
krell mda 300 ..mono block amp..
Having owned a pair of MD 300s for several years I can only comment on my own personal experience. Get the amps to Krell to have them re-capped. They ALL (Every KSA and MDA series ) need to have this done every 10 to 15 years if they see any consi... 
Anyone know anything about this unit?

Logitech Duet sonds awful
Also check out the SQB forums for the "best" settings for Squeeze Server to make sure the data conversion to PCM is not happening at the Duet but in the full blown Squeeze Server software on the computer where the wav files are3 stored. 
Mirage M-1 tweeter died, No longer stock. Help
I just picked up a pair of M5si to match the M3si fronts in a HT rig and they also have 3 blown tweeters. Sent an e-mail to Chris at ABI to see if he can source the replacement parts for me. Great to see the M series are still making people happy. 
Need to replace my Denon 2910, have $400?
Good choice on the touch. I recently ripped 1300+ discs with DB Poweramp. The process was fairly painless and took just under 3 weeks. The Touch is running via LAN to a 2.0 TB Linux Server. All files ripped in FLAC and the PCM conversion is being ... 
Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using?
I am still plugging along with an Ayre V3x for my SC-IVs and loving it. I keep playing around with the idea of a good 75 to 100 watt KT-88 or 6c33 based amp but jut can't seem to pull the trigger as the Ayre just works, never gets too hot, does no... 
NAS or USB drive to stream audio to a Squeezebox ?
Gilbodavid, How tough is it to get the SQB touch open to do the cap bypass? 
NAS or USB drive to stream audio to a Squeezebox ?
Update: I went the route of a Headless Linux PC running as a 2 TB NAS. 2 gigs of Ram and it is connected to the LAN via ethernet. SQ Sever runs on the NAS and all decoding is done in the NAS and the SQ is sent PCM. I love this rig. It is a blast t...
