| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? @audiotroy It is not just about competitive.There is something to be said for designs that have stood the test of time and endured the critical listening of millions of ears. They have proven they are not simply this seasons latest passing fashion... | |
| Michael Fremer's system Odd that MF ears are so golden he can hear huge differences in gear and even ordinary bits of wire but the clutter in his room apparently doesn’t matter. I guess he hears only what he believes. Perhaps there is no money in promoting room acoustics... | |
| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. Rastus - Dave "Smokey" Smelko was one of the best drummers!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9hFlyLNI1Hk | |
| B&W 702s or Revel F208s Just comparing the mid range driver motors of the two speakers. Revel 5.25" is quite impressive. B&W 6 inch mid looks so small and cheap it belongs in a Bose speaker. | |
| B&W 702s or Revel F208s Good choice. Revel is in a completely different league. The measurements on stereophile are extremely impressive. The response off axis is stunning. This has the best dispersion of almost any big company speaker I have seen. Harmon Kardon are doin... | |
| B&W 702s or Revel F208s F208B&W sound "refined" because they are colored to sound hi-fi to untrained ears. Revels are far more neutral and simply a better speaker as they will sound natural.The motors on the 702 look really cheap - this is a low cost design. | |

| Dave Wilson's health My best wishes for a speedy recovery for a legend of the audio industry. | |
| Help a guy out? Renovating home theater system after 10 years and have a few questions. I have not checked out FALD or QLED. All I can say is that in 2016 the top of the line OLED beat everything else very very easily. It has no black lighting so blacks are excepetionally black - just like plasma. Of course a $6000 TV should be signi... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? +2"Most tube amps are the equivalent of a graphic equalizer"The higher transformer output impedance of most tube amps does indeed have a big eq effect with most typical low impedance speakers.Some rare exceptions though. Audio Research for example. | |

| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano Not sure if one can do justice to a life like piano for only $4000. Piano is one of the more difficult instruments to get right. My top of the line Nord Keyboard with Genelec speakers and a huge Traynor keyboard stage amp comes close but at more t... | |
| The latest and greatest LOL. It is just fashion. Few companies survive on the merit of their designs. Most are forced to come up with something new every 3 years. The measure of truly high performance equipment is that it DOES NOT change much over decades and people stil... | |
| ROON help needed If both are on the same LAN then you should see the core. If it doesnt connect then try selecting a different core - perhaps the fresh install changed the core ID and your phone is looking for the older installation. | |
