Magnepan Upgrades, Silver and New Crossovers!
@tomrk  I am definitely not disparaging Magnepans. They are very popular and must be a great value for the price. It just seemed odd to want to upgrade a speaker as soon as you buy it. Listen up in Denver sells them and I think it’s time to go ha... 
Magnepan Upgrades, Silver and New Crossovers!
Tell me how magnepan speakers are considered a great speaker when you have to completely rebuild it to make it sound good? Why can’t they put good parts in it to start with?   
Forced to DIY
Been a DIY all my life. I hate paying labor. Makes you feel good too doing something you weren’t sure you could do.   
Zoomer needs help navigating 50's-80's Hi-Fi equipment
@feeney  I would try to find a member in your area that would be willing to come over and help you set it up or see how much a nearby dealer would charge. You can watch and learn and ask questions. Good luck!  
Best €2500 sub purely for music?
@creditingkarma  I attended Axpona last year but will not be attending this year. I would love to come hear your system! It looks amazing and I’m sure it sounds incredible! My dealer has the Cygnus in their main room.  Hopefully I will be able to...

@hilde45  I would enjoy getting together to chat about it!  
Best €2500 sub purely for music?
@hilde45  I completely agree subs can help even with a good room. I would actually like to try 2 sometime. Happy listening !  
Best €2500 sub purely for music?
@hilde45  Good point I did neglect to mention my room which helps negate the need for subs but I stand by my comment that towers can do well below 60hz.  Regards  Ron   
Best €2500 sub purely for music?
@endymion_joshi-godrez  I have to disagree that no tower speakers can do bass well under 60 hz. My Rockport Avior ii speakers give me all the bass I need in my room. No subs. Also just pull the trigger on the S510s. We have 4 in our HT set up and... 
Vibration isolation or absorption?
I think you can only hear a noticeable difference with isolation or not on a suspended floor. Concrete floors are much better   
If you had to narrow your choices to 4 - 5 speakers
+1 Rockport !   
What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen?
@esarhaddon  The store you said is moving is Soundings and it would be worth your time to drop in. They are also now a new distributor of Acora speakers.   
What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen?
Soundings in Denver is one of the good ones. No pressure and very knowledgeable. Ask for Jess.   
2023 AXPONA Show Report
I went last year. My first show of any kind. Had a great time! To all the first timers going this year make sure you listen to the mighty Borresen stand mount speakers. Couldn’t believe how good those small speakers sounded. For 100k I guess they ... 
Law Of Diminishing Returns?
@audioguy85  That was @magister who said that. I miss his posts a lot.
