| New Speakers $10K -$20K If you can't bring them any farther out into the room, then either non-ported or front ported may be the only options. Focal Kanta 3 is front ported and a very good speaker. Magico A3 is non-ported and very good as well. Focal Sopra 2 and Sopra... | |
| New Speakers $10K -$20K For your listening needs, I'd say at least check out the Audio Solutions Figaro L at $10k. With it's silk dome tweeter, it should not assault your ears like your Persona apparently did. AS offers incredible bang for the buck. There is also a ma... | |
| DALI Opticon or Dynaudio Evoke help please?! Dali has released the Opticon MK2 line, so there may be some opportunities to get good deals on the original Opticon line, either new or nice used units.I've not heard the Opticon line, but I have heard Oberon 7 and Rubicon 6, and I was impressed ... | |
| Focal Kanta NO.3 Speakers Spending More Doesn't Matter ! Kanta 3 was a great audio buy when first launched at $12k because it was only $2k more than Kanta 2. But after Focal found it necessary to jack up their prices by 25%, not such a compelling option any more. | |
| Which speaker among Dali, Dynaudio and Acoustic Energy should I choose? That Dali Rubicon 6 is no slouch. I heard them at a dealer in Dallas and was very impressed with their hybrid tweeter module. Another thing I liked about them is that they have nice, articulate bass and did not seem to have a mid-bass "hump", whi... | |
| New ebay payments require SS#? @8th-note,Good to know. I inherited from my father a near mint vintage Breitling watch a few years ago. For some reason, he never wore it much. I had no idea what it was worth; I put it on ebay and you can't believe how much some people will pa... | |
| New ebay payments require SS#? @8th-noteThanks for that helpful information. One problem I see is that some people selling their used audio equipment may have owned the equipment for decades and have no idea where the original receipt is, nor may they remember exactly how much... | |
| New ebay payments require SS#? Yeah, I just ended three items I had for sale because all this ticked me off so much. Like I said above, Craigslist may soon be seeing a boom of activity. | |
| New ebay payments require SS#? @theoIn that scenario, you would not owe income tax. Even if you go over the threshold for receiving a 1099, it does not necessarily mean you owe taxes on anything. It depends on the situation. If you operate on ebay as a business, then you mig... | |
| New ebay payments require SS#? @fuzztoneThe problem is, I don't know if other families are similar, but in my family, we send each other money via paypal, back and forth, for various occasions, i.e., birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day, etc. So, basically, we are sending money ... | |
| New ebay payments require SS#? I see a big Craigslist boom incoming! | |
| New ebay payments require SS#? @fiesta75It actually won't matter if you use Audiogon, Reverb, etc., if you receive payment through PayPal. PayPal will be subject to these regulations as well, as I understand it. | |
| New ebay payments require SS#? It looks like there is a threshold, currently $20,000, beyond which platforms such as ebay are required to send you a 1099 form. But, starting in 2022, the threshold will drop to $600. It looks like the earliest you would receive a 1099 form for... | |
| New ebay payments require SS#? @markpaoNo, my bank account password was never requested. | |
| New ebay payments require SS#? @markpao What happens in their process is that you first have to give them your routing number and account number to which you want your payment deposited. After that, they ask for your SS# and there is a statement that it is required to be in co... |
