ATC active vs. passive
@theophile  +1 and excellent post.  
Qualio IQ owners, still happy?
@dxbwineguy  Any more thoughts on the Qualios?  
PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common?
Not sure. My wife has had an account for a while, I just recently opened mine and haven’t used it yet.

+1 @lalitk ​​​​​@freediver  I try to avoid PayPal altogether. My intention is to use Venmo going forward.  
Magico A3 or A1+Sub
Normally I am a fan of full range speakers that don’t need subs. But with the speakers so close to room boundaries, monitors + subs might be a better fit. Your room has lots of glass and flat untreated surfaces. Any speakers you settle on will ben... 
Magico A3 or A1+Sub
If your plan is to position the speakers as they are in that photo, it’s a waste of any high quality speaker. Open floor plan rooms are a disaster anyway. Add placing the speakers so close to the wall, and one in the corner, and the situation gets... 
Stand Mount Speakers for Classic Rock that sound alive at lower volumes ?
I would suggest a pair of klipsch heresy iv or forte iv speakers. Both are good in small rooms and are excellent with rock.  
Open baffle speakers

Mofi Sourcepoint 888?
I’ve never heard that before. That’s a lot of moolah for a speaker that can’t crank when needed.  
Do power bricks break in?
@jasonbourne71 is correct. Don’t confuse gain and power.

Magico A5s wouldn’t play loud? Please expand on this.  
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?
@grislybutter  You may like the sound of your system, and that’s a good thing.  But don’t fool yourself into believing it performs at a level of one consisting of high(er) quality components. I’m not saying $$ is always the answer, but most of th... 
??? How Much Would You Spend ???
There doesn't have to be a specific price tag for a given pair of speakers. You could spend 10K on an amp for those speakers and a 5K amp might outperform it. There are too many variables to give a cookie cutter answer to this one.  
Open baffle speakers
@bache    You are just being obtuse now. You are on some weird mission to denigrate OB speakers for some unknown (not really) reason. I understand how to take measurements with a Radio Shack SPL meter and test tones. And I know all about the co...
