Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off?
I always thought boomers were the greatest generation being born of parents who fought in WWII and all that went with that. Turns out you can add audiophilia as well as one of the defining qualities. 😄 Snark aside, the same questions were asked w...

I flat out couldn't get on forums for some time until now. Glad to see it's back to normal.

Check out the Revival Audio Atalante 3 monitors.  They're responsible for me stopping right where I'm at. I'll only move up to the bigger Atalante 5 if I ever get a bigger place. Designed and made in France, nothing outsourced. The owner was le...

Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address
I hardly think that reading promotional material and divining the attitude of distributors constitutes evidence of any sort.  You mistake what you find “all there easily obtainable in the public sphere” as verified information. Bingo!  
Is there a cheaper alternative to this:
I don't know about the ones the OP speaks of but the Deer Creek Audio stands were made by a local artist near their place and they were constructed of 14 GA powder coated steel filled with a sandstone foam product to deaden them.  They sounded no... 
Is there a cheaper alternative to this:
I had similar stands (Deer Creek Audio) for my JBL 4319s and they worked wonderfully for years until I tried them with the tweeter better aligned with my ears. They were placed on some Wharfedale Litton speaker stands firing straight at me and boy...
