Still room for Class A / AB amps with proper heatsinking, Class D for subwoofer
@roxy54 This was definitely not a successful post haha! Probably due to the lack of focus in my writing above and that it was completely off the cuff. I appreciate the response you gave here. I like this site and should take it more seriously, as ... 
Too terminate or not
I only use bare wire or professional connections. 
Do active speakers interest you? Also, let's talk directivity
Yes, whoever mentioned that DSP is much more accessible now is 100% correct. This is the route to take. They can be easily programmed and fitted into the unit, and are much more flexible than analog devices.  Glad to see so much activity on the th...

Very pleased to see so many great suggestions & personal experiences. I had never spent all that time much time on the forum here, as from my browsing, it seemed about 50/50 in terms of knowledgeable people vs less-than-humble people.I can't r...

@aubreybob -I would never claim to eliminate room problems. What most people don't realize is that your room is actually more important than your speakers. No matter what active electronics are used or DSP "correction" you perform, the shape of th...

I used "phenomenal" twice in a row in that last post. Forgive me! I'm excited.

@inorganic Yes, the famous ATC midrange. >300-3k. They used to sell them, but the mid driver is their bag. Guzauki-Swist is using that driver in a $30k system. Not sure if anyone else is able to get them from ATC at all now.I have a very differ...

@OccasionallyCurrent - Thanks so much, I deeply appreciate that. One thing that I am known for, locally and in my global network, is finding steals for people. It doesn't matter to me if it's from my inventory, I just want people to have the best ...

So glad I took the plunge and posted my concept here. Loving the feedback.Mijostyn, active has nothing to do with whether the amp is installed in the speaker or not. It refers to whether the crossover is before or after the power stage. Having an ...

I will respond to each of you (except kenjit who I recognize as a troll from other threads). Tk21 & facten -  I agree that selecting components is a big part of the hi-fi journey. The user would still select their own DAC and source. Those are... 
Energy ESM-2 Anyone else remember them?
Sorry to bump an ancient thread but I'm sooo impressed with how well my set of ESM-3 performs. I use them as studio monitors as well as for general listening. They are much more forgiving than my Neumann monitors, but still accurate enough to work... 
Amp for PSB Stratus Gold I
Would you rate Behringer A800 as a decent entry-level reference amp? 
Amp for PSB Stratus Gold I
The amp I'm using right now has no problem powering them. I'm just surprised I found such a cheap option & I'm wondering just how much performance would improve if I went for a better amp. I have my amp at 12 or 1 for loud listening, plenty of...
