| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? I think probably you can get very good, if not top notch sound from a good pair of powered speakers, streaming from your favorite service. | |
| Borresen X1 & X2 While I do think that (unlike cables) speakers do change slightly after a certain amount of use, I really believe it’s well under 100 hours and probably closer to 10 or 20. And the differences will be subtle. If you’re waiting for them to dramatic... | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? It seems to me, since most of the issues higher end cables claim to address are ostensibly minimized and handled better by the design, tech, build quality etc. of more expensive, higher end equipment, cables will affect higher end systems less tha... | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? Well made tight fitting BFA bananas are the way to go for me. They make very good contact, don’t come loose like spades can, and are just easier. | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions I think when speakers reach a certain level of quality/price, you can’t really say one is “better”. What one listener might see as a negative, another might feel it’s a positive. At a certain level the quality of sound becomes very personal and su... | |

| Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps I don’t think upgrading those already excellent amps will make a noticeable difference. Better speaker placement, better room, better recordings would imo make much bigger differences. It’s my belief once your amp/amps are very well made and power... | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? I got my perlisten towers very lightly used at 40% off list. If you like saving $, it’s the way to go. | |
| You're not a true audiophile unless... Hearing subtle yet dramatic and transformative differences switching out one expensive Ethernet cord for another. | |
| Where Do I Go from Here? If you’re dead set on replacing the speakers, there are lots of great choices in the 20-50k range. Borresen, Magico, Perlisten, TAD, Elac, high end Sonus Faber, B&W 801/2 d4, Dynaudio confidence line. Were it me? I’d get a pair of Perlisten s... | |
| Heavy difficult to move speakers- how do you deal? If you don’t use the $7500 quantum tech sliders by QSA, your soundstage will never be right. Something about the way they slide aligns the speakers’ molecules. The difference in sound is not subtle. When your wife runs in from the kitchen to ask i... | |
| I’m confused. Please explain. People listen to different music, in different rooms, and have their own notions of what a great system sounds like. So there can’t be any hard or fast rules. You try to get a system you think sounds good to you. Not objectively, or to everyone. | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For If it were possible, which it isn’t, the biggest improvement for me would be to build a perfect listening room. That’s by far my biggest challenge. My equipment is great. The room is not. It’s not horrible but it could be so much better. I know it... | |
| Audio envy - dang! Nutty, do you happen to have a pic. Just wanted to see them. And the price? |
