My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers
Excuse millercarbon, he gets paid by how many threads/posts he can answer/start about Tekton speakers. Tekton are anything but revealing. They have a mediocre tweeter as their tweeter and midrange drivers.Everybody has a preference of what speaker... 
Game Changing Tweak
Nobody listens to millercarbon, why would anybody start now! Read some of his threads, he’s the only 1 that can say a tweak works and a tweak that has very little impact on SQ, MC claims it’s an “amazing” upgrade. MC needs to get at least a midfi ... 
Shipping. Hard Lesson.
N80-@MC is a joke. A legend in his own mind!Anything that is that heavy or worth more than $5k, it is a local sale even if I have the original boxes.  
Ok now I am frustrated with streaming
Speed probably isn't the issue (it all depends on how much you are using the network/internet in your household, streaming music/movies/on demand stuff/YouTube, but to find out, run a network speed test and capture the ms it takes to ping as well ... 
Ok now I am frustrated with streaming
Everybody here is guessing what could be wrong, why not look at your network stats to see if you have any issues. Also, you can call your network provider to have them run a trace to your house to see if they see any errors. When you say you have ... 
Crutchfield's Speaker Compare
IMO, this would be useless for any audio store to do this for a number of reasons:1) YouTube sound is terrible at best2) what are they going to use for front end equipment? You can’t use the same amp for each speaker because speakers sound charact... 
Recommend speakers for Hegel H190
Jjss49-your reply is a joke. If you can read the op’s posts, he is asking the right questions.He wants a warmer sound and he has a Hegel 190 amp. Pretty simple request.Op, if you want a warmer sound, your going to need to move away from B&W sp... 
Anybody want a laugh?
What is noise on Ethernet? If you have noise, what does it sound like on Ethernet?Since I installed corporate networks starting back in the late 80’s, I ran a few ip packet sniffers and used a few fluke meters, and you can determine if an ip packe... 
Speaker upgrade around 100k retail
I would qualify your request by asking for people that have actual experience with the speakers, not just hearsay or reading a review. I could care less about somebodies opinion if they actually haven’t heard them.I’m with the OP, I wouldn’t ask a... 
PS Audio BHK lacking..
cdamiller-far from the truth 
2k to 4k Streaming DAC
Digital is not perfect, but it’s very very good when you have the right equipment. $200 will get you a low-fi dac at best, good for background music, but that’s it.I prefer network attached dacs based on FPGA with dsd/mqa capability 
Why hasn’t B&W ever entered the ultra hi-end for speakers?
B&W speakers are an ok speaker, not anywhere near the best, way overpriced for what you get. They have always been too analytical for most and that’s why you see them teamed up with amps from Classe and McIntosh, your warmer sounding amps. The... 
Emotional rollercoaster
Glad you like the sound of your system. If you like what you have, stay away from audio forums, trade mags, and audio shows. I have a half dozen systems in my house ranging from an Apple HomePod, to home theater, an office system, and a dedicated ... 
Minimonitors
Before responding, you should have either heard or owned the speakers that you are recommending, not just have read reviews 
Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?...
They could be if you can call the CEO every other day and if there are a few over the top positive reviews about them.
