What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
buellrider97,I think that you mean gobsmacked.

While you're at it teo, it's manage, not managed. 
What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
fynnegan,I don't understand your comment. Unequivocally is a perfectly useful word in the right context, and has nothing to do specifically with audio. Why should it be banned?Full loom refers to using one brand of wires exclusively for interconne...

Apogee doesn't count hifi28. They've been out of business for many years.

Thanks ozzy62. I wonder how many of the ignorant comments about Khorns here are being made by people who have never even heard a pair. 
Question Focal Sopra2 pricing $5k increase yo $19 kin 5 years, vs Wilson Sabrina X,
Where have you been Audioman58? This was just discussed to the point of boredom on another thread. 
Considerations prior to your next purchase
I suppose the OP is trying to be amusing, but that silly subject has been covered a number of times in the past and it's meaningless. Next... 
Why has focal raised their prices so much on Sopra line
acg_ca,I understand everything that you said, and I'm sure that it's true, but a pair of Monitor 40's that cost less than 7k a dozen years ago are now about 16k. That price went crazy long before covid. 
Why has focal raised their prices so much on Sopra line
builder3,I'm well aware of the current supply chain issues, but that has nothing to do with what has happened to Harbeth prices over the last 12 years. I can't speak for Focal. 
Why has focal raised their prices so much on Sopra line

Buying used vs new?
If the seller has good feedback I would do it without worry. You'll save a lot of money and get what you wanted for less. 
As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly?

Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty”
johnk,The OP's new speaker is a back loaded horn with a full range river, right?I never really considered this type of speaker "horns", but I guess they are in their own way.  
klipshorn speakers
I owned them for years and really enjoyed them with all genres of music. They can be played very loud, but that's not their finest virtue. If you have the space and a good system preceding them, there will be beautiful music. Maybe not the most ac... 
marketing contact at Affirm financing for audio equipment
It's too bad that the emergence of these companies have made it nearly impossible for a seller to get paid with a check or a bank check. I recall giving and accepting them many times back in the day with no issues, and better yet, no fees!They're ...
