High end speakers at low volume
I can’t imagine rock music sounds good at low volume but maybe it can with horns. I suggest giving Rockport speakers an audition. Used Atria might be in your budget. Good luck!   
cheapest speaker made in the last 10 year that can beat any speaker made before 1970?
I would say it’s the cabinet technology that has improved the most and made the music better. Along with better parts too.   
Going back to headphone ?

Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome?

$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.
I second the room as first priority. After that Rockport speakers and Boulder amps! Good luck and have fun!

user poll on seperates vs integrated
I’d also say it depends on the level of integrated you are looking at. My Boulder 866 drives my Rockport Avior ii speakers extremely well. Good luck !

Monitor Stands - Made of Stone
I watched both videos which were very good. But he only addressed vibration and from what I’ve read here if the cabinet and drivers are both moving back and forth there will be smearing. Has anyone experienced this?

@townshend-audio  Excellent post! That must sum up exactly what you are trying to accomplish with your successful product. But I am confused why you wouldn’t address my question. You sent me a PM saying you don’t get involved in forum conversatio... 
Monitor Stands - Made of Stone
@townshend-audio  Hello. It seems to me that a speaker on your podiums will rock back and forth due to the pistonic action of the drivers. That seems like an undesirable thing to have happen and will negatively affect the sound. What are your tho... 
Poll: Most impactful component
@therandyman  So the BACCH is a fancy room correction ? What exactly does it do for a price tag of over 50k?
