2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K
@blindjim I have not heard VAC in a good setting but get that they can sound great on the right speaker. Kinda out of my ballpark cost wise.You wrote: "Hearing your accounts of what IMO is minimal power of 75wpc as applied to the speakers you poin... 
power for mc452 and c2600
Others out there that are on your team. Prayers and petitioning are going up. 
Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^That is called market research. Or you can also appropriately call it a feasibility analysis. I'd assume in this speaker making game that there'd be at least some rudimentary research completed to ascertain if there will be a market...

@blindjim Hi Jim,No, I've never heard the Sabrina's with Mbl electronics. Have heard them with several different ARC pieces and the D'Agostino gear, both were very good to me. D'Agostino is unaffordable for me though.From the Mbl site, they call t...

@blindjim I went back and read the account of your condition. I'm now enlightened. I do appreciate the knowledge. As for me, I grow impatient with websites and I can see just fine. Now I have a new appreciation for your world.@ctsooner I also have...

@blindjim @ctsooner I read the last few posts and walked away. But I felt like I needed to come back and post.Don't want to get in the middle Jim, but if you go to the Vandersteen website, you'll find all the info you are looking for. I know since... 
Silly prices for Nordost cables

Why is modern pop music today so terrible?
@bondmanp +2 for the post by bondmanp. If you think ALL modern pop is bad, perhaps you have not listened enough. If you look, you'll find it. Get a free Pandora membership, put in some bands you like, and get ready for some discovery. 
Inherited 21 piece of vintage McIntosh and need help building a system
I have nothing to add since I do not know anything about vintage McIntosh. But...I have been a very happy owner of an MA6500 SS integrated for over a decade now. I can tell you that it powers Martin Logan Vantages very well. And to the reason I po...

Lesson Learned
@ricred1 I could not agree with you more. In fact, if and when, I will just build a new system and am hoping to by retirement. Synergy is EVERYTHING. It is not about "which" component is best, but much more critical which components sound best tog...

@thomasgcTotally agreed. Sabrina’s are amazing. Especially with ARC tubes and D’Agostino SS. Want to hear with the HV series T+A gear. Don't be fooled by their size, they can pressurize a decent-sized room.Mbl is also very special. Check them out. 
Has anyone compared K150 tubes and the stock EL34s in Primaluna integrated/amplifiers?
