| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described Two questions… what kind of feedback did the seller have…sellers with good feedback want to protect their reputation. Did you request that the seller photograph the packaging and shipping process… this is a must if you have a claim as most shi... | |

| Tubes, tone, and old age. Yes. Look at distortion vs frequency- if it begins rising much below about 10KHz you will have a brightness problem since higher ordered harmonics will be higher than the THD suggests. The other thing to look at is the distortion profile. Smooth... | |
| True high-end Speakers need a midrange @erik_squires Does this tweeter that was mentioned by @ricevs as the tweeter crossing at 1khz on the new Clayton Shaw Caladan resolve your concern? In theory, using this tweeter would now allow many woofers/midwoofers to now operate in their so... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @mahgister Yes, I should have been more descriptive, more clear. Maybe in the purest sense, the definition of musicality can't be "owned" by one individual. Nevertheless, I believe that there are aspects of describing how music sounds when pl... | |

Is it correct to speculate that these amps, whether GanF, Hypex, pu... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? Back to the point of reviews needing comparisons...it's not for the reviewer to say that product A sounds better than product B...because after all, it is just his opinion. But when a review goes into some detail comparing and contrasting what the... | |

| Who is excited about Capital Audiofest 2023? Did anyone make it to the Philharmonic Audio Room...the sign on the door said "speakers you can actually afford to buy"? | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan Yes, maybe you can get acceptable sound...and in some cases maybe even good sound with open baffles at 2 feet....But....I don't think you can apply a universal rule when it comes to open baffle location and best sound because of how much room infl... | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan Based on another thread here showing all different speakers people have owned, it would seem that most never really find “end game” so handling and shipping are a big deal for many. |
