What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased?
JBL 4365. Alas.  
Looking for Speaker Recommendations
Audio Solutions Figaro M - wonderful speaker. I used a pair while I was waiting for my Wolf Von Langa SON. The figaro m were never fatigueing - very articulate and wonderful to look at.   
Best "Budget" / "bang for my buck" 2-channel amp and speakers can I get new?
The klipsch heritage are great but they arent cheap - cornwall iv are huge and unless you have the room for them itd be a waste. They do however play very well at lower volumes but still need room to breath. The forte iv probably make more sense a... 
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?

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 ...
