| New house, wife reveals she hates my Maggies- looking for stand mount speaker suggestions Wow! I took the weekend off and am now overwhelmed with the number of responses and all the suggestions. There is a lot to dig into. We won’t move into the new place until mid October, so I have a bit of time to research, get a chance to listen ... | |
| New house, wife reveals she hates my Maggies- looking for stand mount speaker suggestions Also interesting is the absence of anyone mentioning two brands that i was curious about: PS audio FR5, and Focal. | |
| New house, wife reveals she hates my Maggies- looking for stand mount speaker suggestions Thanks for all the great responses and keep them coming. And yes, the WAF factor is critical. Recently celebrated 45th anniversary, so yes, I do have my priorities straight. I was quite surprised after my wife’s response, as there was not a wor... | |
| New house, wife reveals she hates my Maggies- looking for stand mount speaker suggestions Ahhhhh! So many good suggestions to look into. Gosh, I love the Audiogon community. I planned to responded back to each person individually with follow on questions, but need to do some research first. So THANKS to everyone. Lots of clicking a... | |
| New house, wife reveals she hates my Maggies- looking for stand mount speaker suggestions @foggyus91 never heard of them. They do look beautiful! Website glitches when I look to find a dealer. Anything else you can tell me about where I might hear them? | |
| New house, wife reveals she hates my Maggies- looking for stand mount speaker suggestions @goldenways Which Harbeths? Many different models out there. Did not like the P3esr many years ago, but I know they have many larger/better models… | |
| What was the best “new to you” song/music/artist you heard at Axpona 2025? @kofibaffour - I agree that Axpona isn’t a place to look for new music, that’s why I used the term “ stumbled upon”. I will check out Samara Joy. Thanks. | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? I could give you many entire songs that hit me, but when I think of a single line, this one from Paul Simon jumps to my mind instantly: Hello darkness my old friend. | |
| One box solution I have the Naim Uniti Atom and am very happy with it. After looking at numerous other units at Axpona last year, I settled on the Naim. One big selling factor was the Naim software/ap. I found it very easy to use, intuitive, so no learning curv... | |
| Balanced wiring for Sennhesier 800 S I have the 800s. Since everyone strongly suggests using balanced cables, I ordered a set from lavricables. (I think @soix had recommended them). Their website has many options, and the guys at Lauri were great at answering all my questions. I end... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? one of the things you should not underestimate is the music app that goes with the hardware. If it is difficult to use, your enjoyment will be tempered. This was the factor that tilted me to the Naim. | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! This year, we should complete a move into a place where I can have a larger dedicated listening room. This will allow me to purchase larger speaker (perhaps Joseph Audio Perspectives) and enjoy the task of optimizing the room acoustics. I curre... | |
| Any regrets in selling gear? Original 15 ohm Rogers LS 3/5a. Purchased for $495 in 1977. Sold for around $2k in 1995 to help start a business. Worked out well with th business, but still miss the speakers. Around the same time, sold a Marantz 8b for $225 as I headed off t... | |
