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... 
Tekton Design Moab
Anyone other than me think its weird that almost all of Tektons low frequency specs are a nice even number? Like 20hz, 30hz, etc. Like its all made up.  
Tekton Design Moab
When I owned the Pendragons, I had another set of speakers that were a real 99db efficient, and the Pendragons were nowhere near as loud at the same volume. I still think they are an ok speaker for the money. They would work real good in a custom ... 
Tekton Design Moab
MC said "Its like buying a new 911". Tekton owners always making crazy claims. First better than million dollar Wilson speakers, and now comparing it to a porsche. Should be compared to a 90s Chevy Astro Van. They have similar styling. 
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... 
Tekton Design Moab
I think the problem people have with Tekton speakers are the claims owners of Tekton speakers make.  Like "better than $30k speakers".  And the claims the owner  of Tekton makes in his specs (Pendragons absolutely do not play down to 20hz, and are...
