| I feel for you @carlsbad2 Indeed. What happened? ...leaders tended to be scientists or lovers of science instead of lawyers and political science students. It's too easy to get a degree in gender studies and work at Starbucks while living in your mom's basem... | |
| What Speakers are Available Today Similar to the Von Schweikert DB99? I have owned many pairs of VS speakers going all the way back to the original VR4.

| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound Piega is a good choice. I had a pair of P10s years ago. A little power hungry, but excellent speakers. | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound I can vouch for the Qualio IQ as being the real deal. It's a lot of loudspeaker for the money. | |
| Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers Great speakers/Beautiful music @teajay Any update on when the Qualio review might be published? | |
| Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under? Another vote for the Don Sachs DS2. | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers Congrats on the purchase. New speaker time is an exciting time… | |
