The VRC flagship probably needs to come with a small electric forklift to make handling more manageable for the average person.  
Is Magnepan still in business ?
speedthrills....Here name is Charlene and she answers txt messages assuming you have the right number.  If you have her number and message her and it doesn't work, PM me with the number you have and I'll see if it matches the one I've used to comm...

Anyone heard new Zu Union 6?
I have to say that I was both surprised and disappointed.  I heard them at the Florida Audio Expo last weekend in the Black Ice room.  It may be that they were being played too loud for the room but what I heard had a lot of muddy bass and was qui...

Hmmm, one could buy 10 years of coffee pods for the price of those vibration pods.

Now that the show is over....what are you selling....what are you buying?  
2023 Florida Audio Expo Show Report
@jeffstrick  I agree that the pulsars sounded really good....but for me, its hard to justify $9k unless you are really space limited and want the very best "affordable" sound...but even playing youtube videos, they sounded great. @ecrotty one thi...

Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality....
To flip a phrase… beauty is in the ear of the listener…. Or, he might hear it, you might not.   
What characteristics do you listen for when purchasing amps/preamps ?
I like what Erik said but I would also add that I’m listening for tone… is it rich, is it dense, does it sound right… for piano, drum skins, cymbals, trumpet, sax, acoustic strings… and there must be ZERO sibilance with voices.    if these things... 
Choosing between Cornwall IV, Trio15 or X4 Ultra
Are you also planning to use a sub or two?  I ask because I can’t imagine how you will get the impact you desire in a room that big without some form of low end augmentation.   
I want more bass…
With four 12" drivers and "not enough bass"....I'm very suspicious of the room.  Even though you don't have a subwoofer....do the subwoofer crawl around the room, on your hands and knees, sometimes moving your head up and down and see if there is... 
Volti Razz Loudspeakers
I appreciate that the Razz now have an adjustable midrange and tweeter so they can be better tuned to your room.  Here is a brand new review for consideration…    
Do Amps matter.. in an Amp?
I have a buddy with the Maggie 3.7i. We tried three amps one day, level matched. The Magtech… stereo version, The Parasound A21 and the Orchard Audio GanF class d Stereo Ultra. The Magtech at 900 watts into 4 ohms, the Halo and Orchard at 400 watt... 
Mid-fi tube vs high-end SS
As you know, the BMRs will have some similarities in sound to some of the Salk models. Suggest you head over to the AC forum and do some reading on the Salk and VanAlstine threads.
