I'll tell you where I lived as a kid, the biggest brand in the Bay Area was Infinity and Klipsch. Martin Logan was for the rich and famous and B&W was around lets say. VMPS was very popular, almost cult like and JBL was everywhere. A lot of mu... 
KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable
A hard and fast rule for me. If a speaker sounds good in a show room or in ANY room, I can make it sound good in my room. It has never failed. The room and grid is 50% of the sound. The rest is Speakers, Gear, cabling, and placement. Several time...

Wyred4Sound SX-1000R vs. D-Sonic M3a-600M Opinions

When I was younger I'd stand in front of the mirror all the time and look at my gear, now I keep the lights pretty low, never put on my glasses and NEVER a full length mirror. Life is to short and so are other things these days. About my speakers.... 
How do you get Happy as an Audiophile?

Speaking of Pass. I’ve heard these. I just wish I could hear a Rushmore. I heard some of his horns about 25 or 30 years ago. Huge speakers I’ll see if I can hunt up a pic or two.  
Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!!
No, NO BODY committed anything because of what anybody said. Next it’s gonna be someone else’s fault for everything! Any one that takes their own life it’s their own choice. Plain and simple.. Pretty serious choice too. You only get to make it onc... 
Does reducing gain setting on power amp increase chance of clipping?
