DAC's and DSLR's
Agree on better lens!!  Better lens = better speakers.As for digital Camera - a scary thing for high end mega $$$ wide angle landscape lens has happened. Using a good regular lens and a tripod and by combining many digital images from different di...

Clyde Stubblefield RIP
@frogman I think in the pocket means the beat has movement or swings. Compare https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U3sMjm9Elootohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6UdZIh8_xGcNote how the second example grooves better - both are swung but the musicians hold th...

Geoff,+1 your postI have not had nearly as much upgraditus as others. I believe it is because I have chosen carefully and wisely. I don't try to achieve a sound or sugar coated flavour filled sound. I seek accuracy and total neutrality. My thrills...

Speaker companies with a focus on parts quality and measurements
Unfortunately for your budget you are not going to able to find any speaker with speciality in house engineered transducers except a great pair of headphones. Sorry to disappoint you but your budget is firmly in mass market speakers with outsource... 
Recording quality...
Not true. The golden era of multi-million facilities and record companies sponsoring artists to spend months coming up with masterpiece (assisted by producers and sound engineers who are often great artists themselves) IS DEAD. Telarc folded a few... 
Most coherent low volume speaker with very fast bass under 10k used?
+1 for ATC

Most speakers use lowest cost good enough drivers to minimize price point.In general the two way speaker that started in the 70's is really one big cost compromise - one less driver but always of limited performance. 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
