What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000
Don’t most speakers drop hi frequency when measured off axis? I thought that the Revels actually do this a little less than most due to their waveguide on the tweeter...

+5 for SVS 
Analysis Audio Out of Business?
...for years and years apparently. Why bother having a website at all? 
Audio research
Just don’t place any stock on the ARC supplied sound quality descriptions. As can be expected, each one is at the same time the best thing ever and much better than its predecessor.  
Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3
StringreenThat advice may have been valid 20 years ago but not today. There are MANY good integrated amps at several price points that rival or exceed separates  
Pre and Amp Suggestions
Still settling in, but I’m quite impressed so far. Sounds almost class A but without the heat. The Vitus really locks on to the Revel Studios with an iron grip in the low end but has a wonderful mid neautrality and silky highs. Pleased so far!

My Vitus RI-100 arrives Monday. Very excited to get it in the rig! 
SS Preamp to go with Revel Salon 2s
Well, congrats on the Salons, excellent speakers. I’m not sure anything from Emotiva is going to show what these speakers can really do however. You will get many, many opinions about whether to upgrade pre or power first, so I’ll chime right in. ...

Redlenses03, what amps did you get the XA60.5?  
Best of the best Integrated amps in 2018
Elizabeth, I think some people just want to simplify things and get off the upgrade express. Integrated amps have come a long way and many of them are justifiably considered 'destination' purchases that provide many of the same qualities of separa... 
Pre and Amp Suggestions
