TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS
hmmm........Ford GT40 MkII, 1966. Best race cars ever built :)Heard one of the 3 that swept LeMans was for sale a couple of years ago. Can not imagine the price tag. Followed by 4 Porsche, Only a couple of the Ferrari finished running. Won the nex... 
TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS
Thank you all for filling me in and the PM's.TBH, when I am considering a new product, it is precisely the "product bashing" posts that I am most interested in.  Even buying small household items I look for the negative reviews as the most meaning...

If someone can message me and explain that would be great if this is not allowed to be asked.

I responded to a thread titled Why do people sell Tekton Speakers right after receiving them? and can not find the entire discussion.  ( I took a vacation).  Can someone please explain why an entire thread was deleted instead of just the offendi... 
Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade?
I use Balanced with my Bryston 4B3 with zero problems. Not sure where this is coming from. Running the Freya Plus for 1.5 Years 
The Sound of Speaker.
Yes, I think 2nd language is obvious. How the inference was felt is hard to determine since posts were deleted. Hate to see a guy with 5 systems and plenty of experience bail out on the forum like so many others have because of rude and condescend... 
New Audirvana Studio Subscription Only
Am I to understand that existing owners will no longer get updates to their version?

@ samadhanaSorry to see you leave. Please consider staying. It helps to understand many here have egos so large they have lost the ability to be polite.  I happen to agree with you, and for you it is Horns, for me it is Planar.  
So Hard to Decide on an Amp

Bring my own preamp to an amp demo?
That's the way to do it, audition at home with your own equipment.  Strangely enough when I purchased, my room deficiencies were "exposed" and soon found myself working on room treatment.  My older odyssey was by no means a bad unit, it just seeme... 
Bring my own preamp to an amp demo?
@ctwith3  Did they give you a demo to take back to your home or did you take your equipment in?  
Bring my own preamp to an amp demo?
By all means take your PL.  Also, Try and determine how many hours he has on his 4B3 in the shop.  Bryston puts 100 on them before they leave. I purchased my 4B3 with 50 hours on it as a demo unit from a dealer here in NC.  It seemed to fully brea... 
Maggie LRS so ridiculously good
Moved to a new home with a smaller dedicated audio room. 13.5x16  9ft ceiling. 1.7s driven by a 4B3.  Compressed they are most certainly not. I will postpone the upgrade to the 3.7i because these vanish, energize the entire space and are simply su... 
Schiit - shipments stopped?
The quality of the Freya + is such that when one appears in the used market, it is sold that same day. When you do get your unit, do your ears a favor and treat them to some Melz1578 & KenRad VT231.  In fact, since you have to wait, go ahead a... 
All about streaming
Op,     Travelled this path a couple of years ago.  When I switched from Spotify to Qobuz there was a noticeable improvement in SQ. When I upgraded my laptop, & installed Audirvana SQ went to an entirely new level. I usually listen to 24/96 or...
