It is always interesting when someone says they love their speakers and want to upgrade..please don't tell me you are looking for more bass. Everyone is looking for more bass. I would guess you are looking for a rich textured mid-range with good f...

Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world
The " swarm" is actually and old term that was used to convince music lovers who were not happy with the sound of their system, in particular  the midrange which was so lacking in most speakers. To deflect away from that they, the manufactures, fo... 
Does the first reflection point actually matter??
It does not matter to me unless it makes the speaker sound worse the it would if I blocked some of the reflections.. 
Why are there so many wooden speakers?
Great post. MDF does make bass notes sound muddy. Sounds waves from the back of the driver have the same output as the waves from the front. They reach the MDF and their energy is transformed into massive vibrations. Remember that energy can not b... 
Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II

Should a reference speaker be neutral, or just great sounding?
I have always thought that when a reviewer called a speaker neutral it was kind of a back handed complement. They have to say something nice. If a speaker makes me smile and want to listen to music and does not hurt my ears and does not put me to ... 
Stereophile complains it's readers are too informed.
Erik I agree with you. The point of the article  I believe that to many are automatically drawn to speakers that say or they are told have a flat response. Not enough just listen to the speakers and find out they enjoy them. Flat response is great...
