Need help choosing my first amp for my first speakers
I recommend getting The complete guide to high end audio by Robert Harley. An excellent source for learning about this great hobby.   
Qobuz vs. Tidal
So if I want to transfer my Tidal playlist to Qobuz I can do that now? Do the Tidal songs stay in the same format they were in Tidal? On a side note I was listening to Tidal the other day and all the MQA songs still played.   
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
@bjesien  Truer words have never been spoken!!!😂😂😂  
My end game speaks.
In that price range I highly recommend you audition Rockport Cygnus. Amazing speakers with outstanding reviews and praise from owners. Good luck!   
Streamer/DAC combinations
Another vote for adding the Teddy Pardo LPS to the node. Well worth the small cost.   
Limiting a full range driver
I still don’t  understand why a single driver to handle all of the frequencies would be a desirable thing given the potential problems that arise. Is the lack of a cross over the only reason? It seems like a well built 3 way would be the way to go...

@audphile1  What show were those speakers at?! How did they sound? Man they are funny looking !!😂😂😂😂😂  
Rockport Lyras
An endgame speaker for sure! Maybe in my next life !   
How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you?
@danager  What price  level and brands would you say have overcome the obstacles to achieve top level performance?   
Change Revel BE driver color to black?
My beryllium tweeters don’t have a screen over them. Should I wear my sunglasses at night ?   
Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing!
REO Speedwagon is awesome! Saw them at Folsom field in 1981!   
Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range
@njkrebs  Lots of good recommendations above. Add Rockport Atria ii to the list. Amazing speaker. Good luck!  
Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them?
@deep_333  I’d like to add one name to your list and I feel it’s a big one. Andy Payor at Rockport. Incredible speakers.   
Borresen Loudspeakers
@woots  Thanks for the reply. I’ll bet they do sound amazing! I heard the M1 a few years back at Axpona and those blew me away! Congratulations and enjoy!

@woots  Those bass drivers look just like the mids and woofers on my Rockport Avior ii speakers. You say they are custom made in house by Borressen?
