Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget
Slightly over budget, but worth the extra. https://www.ravenaudio.com/product/nighthawk-mk3-tube-amplifier/    
Correct ear alignment
If you think I am gonna fret and get all neurotic worrying if some people driving a Prius with a welded aluminum fishing boat, or worse, think me all uppity for knowing the 911 is in fact the most iconic sports car of all time, nope. Not happening... 
Has anyone heard the new Eric Alexander signature speakers the matrix LS?
Not dipole. The back firing drivers are for ambience. Don't even know if in or out of phase. The one guy who has them hasn't said much other than how awesome they are. He is also doing a crossover upgrade similar to mine, only better. A bona-fide ... 
DIY Replacing Components in Crossovers
This project you have in mind is one of the most cost-effective and rewarding of all the mods or upgrades you could do. The way you are talking is exactly the way to do it. Don't try and reinvent the wheel. Designing a crossover is very technical ... 
Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!!
Funny seeing FB mentioned with ASR. Because I am very active on the Tekton Owner's Group on FB and have seen nothing like this. Within the first few months someone said hey Miller you are nice here not like on the other forum what is the deal? Th...

Do I need a subwoofer?
 I really appreciate the input as I put my audiophile research hat back on. If you actually do research, as opposed to going with the majority status quo then you will read up on DBA and find that compared to the importance of using 4 subs the... 
Has anyone heard the new Eric Alexander signature speakers the matrix LS?
Check out the Tekton Owner's Group on FB. The Matrix LS was built as a custom order for one of our members. Similar to ordering a Moab with all-Be, it has an additional Be tweeter and midrange driver radiating fill on the back. This worked out so ... 
Correct ear alignment
Trying to think of the last time I stopped for gas and some guy didn’t strike up a conversation with, "Nice car!" I mean I know it happened, but so long ago it is hard to recall. Well it is the iconic 79 911SC, but still. The one time I sat down ... 
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
Ted's been doing this more than 30 years. Doing it so uncommonly well one of his very first products the AC Master Coupler is still around and selling for good money in the used market even after 30 years. He's been so prodigiously productive with... 
Acoustics, using placement as EQ
First, it is main speakers location and listening position as much as sub location. Bring speakers and chair out into the room more. Typically each roughly 1/3 of the way is pretty smooth. Then after this the problem is one sub always does this. Y... 
In the beginning
Watts nailed it. As usual.  
Will I Hear A Difference?
Some things are just worth the wait and this new Decware amp is one of those things. What I thought. Some just have different priorities, I guess.
