| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers It's possible that you really will have to travel to hear demonstrations of specific loudspeakers. It's just the way it is. Call ahead and make arrangements.I'm surprised no one has recommended that brand that makes all other loudspeakers obsolete. | |

| SF Olympica llls Based on your last post you should just stick with the Mac and not worry about anything else. | |
| Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made? Hey, didn't some guy file some patents recently that made all other loudspeakers obsolete? I thought everybody knew that.Nothing wrong with liking your new loudspeakers and letting the world know about it. What would it all be about if we didn't... | |
| Which would you pick between the two DAC. Every Wadia product I've ever heard sounded wonderful, but so what? Over the years Wadia has on multiple occasions been bought and sold, reorganized, changed location, etc., whereas, Ayre has been very stable. Draw your own conclusion. | |
