Shout out to Vinshine Audio and Alvin Chee
It's great to hear that Alvin is so proactive. With all the negative experiences of other makes visited on this site, the better ones need all the accolades they can get. Just goes to show that it's not the province of the maker of the gear, but t... 
Need advice on new speakers

Call it what you want, but it's TRUMP 2020.Did you see the turnout at his last rally? 😄 
I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery

And yet, we did get it. Sarcasm based on actual feelings are still actual feelings. Big deal. It's been done to death here.All the best,Nonoise

The OP seems to think that only those who can afford to waste money on audio gear are the same as those who can’t build or appreciate the music. Is that another way of saying that save for the ability of being able to build some piece of gear, one...

The audio world is full of people who can design, build, test and repair but can't listen or hear, and they should be the arbiters of truth?As our next president would say, "What a load of malarky."All the best,Nonoise
