Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers?
If I were trying to beat 200k speakers with 50k I would spend 30k on speakers and the rest building a proper well treated listening room. To paraphrase Jesus: Why are you worried about the splinter in your speakers eyes and ignoring the beam in yo... 
What equipment have you bought this year so far ?
Goto compression drivers. Getting my Goto compression drivers serviced. horns for my Goto compression driver. in about three years I’ll have spent enough money to actually listen to them. 😂 😂 😂  
How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb?

Recommendation on power amp
I'mma just highjack this thread for my own question:I have a 1980s class A solid state amp by Technics (SE-A3). I haven't spent the money getting it checked out yet so I haven't heard it. Can anyone give me a guess of how it will sound? 
Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby?
with CRISPR-CAS9 and what not, they'll have hopefully cured aging before I die. I think if I end up living to 1000 that I would still get a kick out of listening to my system (assuming it lasts that long). By that point it would be more of a relic...

@audiokinesis Thanks Duke. I'll definitly consider taking John on for help. I probably won't be in a position to start putting everything together for a year or so though. Here's the story, I'm in the US Navy and stationed in Japan. I've been want...

@johnk  I have sg505 DX drivers that go down to 200 hz. I'd rather not go with a horn for sub duty though since I don't want this rig to take up the whole room. Any suggestions for a sub driver? 
Goto Unit
Hey johnk,You’re right, this is kind of a new hobby for me. I think I have a fair idea of how to go about it though. It will be a passive system so for time alignment I was just going to position the horns at the same plane. I was going to have th...

Thanks Roxy. I've seen a little bit about them here and there as well but it seems like most people haven't even heard OF them let alone actually heard them. It's fun to mess around with rare esoteric stuff but I guess the lack of people to talk t...
