Magico Ultimate III - $700,000 Speakers
So many old haters on these forums.  Im not really a Magico fan, but these are my favorite speakers ever made.  Maybe one day.  
Miraga M1 vs Totem Mani-2
Mani 2's with the right amp, and in the right room is a better speaker.  Mani 2's always had Dynaudio drivers in them.  This was the reason they were discontinued, because Totem was having troubles sourcing the drivers.  At least that's what I was... 
Sky HIGH fi
Ive wondered the same thing.  I notice they just keep relisting stuff, and the price never changes.  
How old are you?
40....been buying and selling  on this site for over 20yrs.  Have owned over 500 pairs of speakers, and amplifiers. 
New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..!
How can these be overpriced if you haven't heard them yet?   
New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..!
I hope Dynaudio goes back to building speakers that look like the Heritage.  Much better than all of their current designs.  My favorite  monitors that I owned from them are Craffts, Confidence 3, and Contour 1.3SE.  I stopped buying them after th... 
The lovely Capriccio Continuo Admonitor 311's a real gem. Your thoughts?
roxy54, were you thinking of Volent speakers? 
Margin on speaker sales by high end dealer
Mammothguy54-you definitely know what your talking about. Spot on.d2girls-that is way off on mcintosh. Something was wrong with that invoice. 
Replacing driver screws with brass screws
Peter is owner of PBN Audio. He is very knowledgeable. He builds everything from speakers to amplifiers. Not too many people in this industry that knows more than him. 
Replacing driver screws with brass screws
MC: Peter knows more about audio than you can ever dream to know.  Im with him on this one....makes no difference.  Peter built me a pair of his Master Reference speakers years ago with all brass screws.  I had it done for looks, as it made no dif... 
Talon Falcon C; Bueller... anyone??
You could always try to find a pair of Escalante speakers?  They went out of business too, but were newer than Talon.  Similar designs.  Designed by old Talon designer.  I would move on though....so many speakers better than Talon.  I had two pair... 
A speaker audio journey over: Classic Audio Loudspeakers T1.5 Reference = End game
Congrats!  I almost bought that exact pair, but ended up going a different route.  Sometimes I wish I bought them....great looking and sounding speaker.  
Buyer is claiming damage that was done by him!
This is why I hate using paypal.  Audiogon makes every transaction run through paypal now.  Even if it is for a local pickup.  Paypal doesnt protect sellers at all.  As a buyer, you can go around demoing peoples gear for cost of shipping if you wa... 
Horn Speaker Recommendations
Tannoy Horns should be on your list to audition if you can live with their vintage looks. I currently own Westminster SEs, and had RHRs before. Both excellent speakers. I had Avantgarde Duos approx 10yrs ago. Mids/highs were really good, I just di... 
buyer question
uberwarltz, no problem. I actually noticed that the other day when I listed some things for sale. I think that is pretty new too.  I also noticed the fees are much higher now.  I remember when the fees were $2, and the only way to pay someone was ...
