PS Audio P-10
She might have had a better offer after yours. If so, it's bad form. 
I need some speakers identified.
Without seeing pictures I will guess Empire or Sansui. 
Your most disappointing purchase or audition?
Syntax,I learned a lesson from my experience with the Pass X 250.5. I bought it mainly because of all the positive professional and user reviews that I read. Since then, if I am unable to listen to a speaker or component before buying it, which is... 
Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker?
I hope not, since all speakers produce it in one form or another.Seriously though, from my own experience it can if it a type to which you are sensitive. When you are aware of a certain bothersome distortion or sonic anomaly of any type, it consci... 
Your most disappointing purchase or audition?
I have said it before in other threads, but since this thread asks the question, I would have to say the Pass Labs X 250.5. I used it in single ended mode, which I was told later was not optimum, although I never read that in all of my pre-purchas...

Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Even though I have a DAC that I am happy with, I have been following this thread with some interest, and I am also surprised that a transport was not being used at least as an alternative if not primary, since many don't use them any more. What wa... 
Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store
Avgoround,The content of your post indicates to me that you have not read the last contribution that I made to this thread on 7/16. If you did read that post, I think that you may have a comprehension problem. It seems certain that you have a prob...

Why did you choose a horn based loudspeaker?
Like most audiophiles, I have owned a number of different speakers large and small, including Khorns. I currently use horns, simply because they are the all around most natural sounding speakers I have ever owned, but then, I am not in the big lea... 
CDP or DAC for $4000 budget
I would avoid Audio Aero because you can't get service for them if needed from what I have heard from several sources. 
Stillpoints and reference-level speakers
The post rambled here and there with many questions and no real answers, and then seemed to stop without a conclusion. I found it confusing , but not enlightening. 
Tannoy Westminster in DFW?
Rent a van or an SUV with a big trunk...they're great speakers.
