Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming
Strictly a Classic Rock guy. If I need to hear something new I have many Thousands of unplayed CD's that Ive gotten from all my contacts in the music industry over the the past 30-35 years.  Pretty much anything Ive heard after 1990 or so is not t... 
Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming
Accuphase E-650, Tannoy Canterbury?? Clearly in the "kiddie pool".So listening at showrooms or in others homes is not "Direct experience"?. So I guess auditioning gear anywhere is a futile and worthless endeavor.LMK when you graduate from the mino... 
MQA Dac playing non MQA sources
Check out a REAL dealer like SUNCOAST who carries MUCH better streamers than listed above PLUS also has some of the best Disc Spinner/DAC Combo's available (Esoteric/MSB/Gryphon etc).  Never listen to a dealer who only "talks his book". You will g...

Noticed one of your prior posts where you state..... Congrats on your purchase, looking forward to your feedback. I also own N10 and N20 seems to be next logical progression. May be someday I could afford W20SE :-)   So you dont even own the W20...

Actually you can hear the Aurender W20SE with MSB/Vivaldi at Suncoast. Mike prefers the Disc Spinners/Clock combo himself...but what does he know. Might want to go to the AudioShark Forums to see his comparisons.

What generation Esoteric are you referring to?? 20K doesn't buy you TOTL and Im guessing your experience is with one that still used chips. Hell the MSRP on the Clock alone is 30K-ish.  Ive ONLY heard streamers when going over to listen to other p...

Lalitk,Maybe you should try a Top of the Line Spinner/Dac like Esoteric with a Clock and compare it to your streamer. Dealers that carry both streamers and Esoteric/MSB/Gryphon etc will tell you there is no comparison. Me thinks some people arent ...

The new Forte IV for all intents and purposes is just a Mini Cornwall now. 
Fleetwood Sound Company - DeVille Loudspeaker.
Might want to check out their Youtube channel before bashing them.

Considering trading in my Joseph Audio Pearl's for a pair of these at BEK HI-FI.  These are a lot of coin for such a relatively small speaker. They certainly are beautiful to look at. 
Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ?
The Maestro looks like a skinny OMEGA Speaker Model.  Too bad he doesnt design one to look like a LII AUDIO CRYSTAL 10 Model. Those are REALLY nice looking IMHOhttps://www.lii-audio.com/product/one-pair-10-inch-full-range-drivers-and-cabinets-comp... 
Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ?
Nope. If I cant get past the appearance I dont care if to my ears they are the best sounding speaker I ever heard. I wouldnt own them.  The guy is like a 20 minute drive from my Hometown. I wouldnt waste his time by having an audition. Wouldnt be ... 
Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ?
I have some Nenuphar Mini's on order.  Charney is kinda local to me but honestly I don't care how good they sound. They look like they were made in a High School Wood Shop class. Your paying 10K+ for something that looks THAT amateurish?  If I own... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Toetap,No idea how things work in the UK but I have MANY dealer contacts and here in the USA its almost universally a 40% profit margin at FULL MSRP on almost all brands and you get your Demo gear at a 50% discount.  
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
AG3,Not to derail the thread BUT this must be said. If your paying 80% of MSRP for used gear REGARDLESS of what the brand is your being taken for a ride.  I always get at least 20-30% off of MSRP for NEW Gear....used gear you should never pay more...
