JBL 4349 or Klipsch Cornwall IV
Great problem to have! Ive owned them both and feel the cornwalls are far superior. I was a huge fan of the 4429 and found the 4349 were fatigueing. I love the 4365s though. My cornwalls are a real joy- with all types if music. And as Steve has st... 
McIntosh LB200?
@treynolds155 for the win - dying!  
McIntosh LB200?
Ridiculous. Insulting even.  
How to secure a large power cord to a piece of equipment?
Yep. Glad to hear so many solutions for this and as im reading im chuckling because all these solutions makes sense and ive tried some variation of. I love the tape idea. Makes perfect sense. I have gone the route of creating support via legos. I ... 
For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces?
I love the xa25 and the int25 but I didnt like them for classical. They fell apart very quickly when turned up to even moderate listening levels. GI really enjoyed the gsi75 and LM 845-premium were incredible- especially with classical. You had me... 
Crutchfield Customer Service
Crutchfield customer service is amazing.   
OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name
He talks a ton of ish. A ton. In fact it’s turds like him that make me embarassed to say “audiophile”. His “brand” is grating.  
Recommended integrated amplifier for upgrade
I have and love the Pass Labs INT-25, but I wouldn't recommend it to drive the Sonus Fabers. An INT-250 def could and beautifully i'd imagine. I had an INT-250 driving a pair of JBL 4365s and loved it. I also really love Luxman - the 509x is great... 
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
Ive owned a decent amount of Mcintosh gear. The newest stuff is the best Mac gear Ive heard and owned - the C2700 paired with the MC462 was a nice combination. But for close to 17k for the pair "nice" just doesn't cut it. They are reliable, hold t... 
What Class A is better? SUGDEN FPA-4 or PASS LABS XA-25
@decooney  So I initially said Sugden... And I think Sugden makes a wonderful machine. But curiosity got the best of me and I went and purchased an INT-25... It's sublime. It really is a fantastic listening experience at moderate listening levels.... 
Putting an end to the audio cable debate! Part 1
I was skeptical about cables for quite some time. But even switching out cheaper brands amongst my own system I have noticed there is sometimes a difference in the way it effects the sound - better or worse, that's all subjective - but there is a ... 
Rotel Michi X5 Integrated Amplifier
I'm currently using Tannoy Turnberry's with the Michi x5 and the pairing is phenomenal.  
What Class A is better? SUGDEN FPA-4 or PASS LABS XA-25
I’ve owned both, multiple pieces. I like Pass Labs allot but ultimately preferred the Sugden iA4 Masterclass - which I did not think would be the case. It’s insanely good. Addictive. I’ve owned allot of gear and I think the Sugden is great gear wi... 
Disappointing On Mcintosh......help
Interesting. I've always found Mcintosh to be bright and thin but recently heard the C2700 with a MC462 on JBL 4349's and it was amazing. The newest generation of Mac gear sounds phenomenal... when paired properly. I heard that same MC462 run with... 
JBL 4349 or Klipsch Cornwall IV
JBL 4349 with Line Magnetic 845-Premium... incredible.
