Speaker suggestions under 4k
JBL L100 Classic speakers.  4K new can be found for $2800-3000 used.  Fantastic speakers.  I just disconnected my GE Triton Ones for these and I am loving them.  Best Rock speaker ever which is why I bought them.  Keeping the Triton Ones.  
What did you make for Christmas?
I did some re-arranging of my office system. I disconnected my GE Triton One Speakers, moved them to the side of the room to store and connected my brand new JBL L100 Classic Speakers. I do not yet have the stands for them as they are on back orde... 
Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude?
@minorl ,What happens if only one person puts an offer in and it is for your exact price, but the person is 1000 miles away? Do you really expect the party to pick up the item in person or do you relist and hope someone closer buys it?  Personally... 
Help with adding turntable to my room...cartridge advice for Rega P6
@ericsch,why do you need spacers on your Technics SL1200G?  You have an excellent arm height adjustment on the turntable. What am I missing? 
Do speakers choose your music preference
When I owned DeVore Gibbon 8 speakers, I found they were very unimpressive playing Rock, so for the 10 months I owned them I listened to Jazz only. That was their forte’.  It was a big mistake buying those speakers for the type of music I mostly l... 
VPI Aries 1 Motor Hum?
I had to put a mouse pad under the motor pod of the VPI Prime.  
Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp?
The amp and preamp are both just as important as the other. If I spend 7K on a preamp, then I will spend 7K on an amp and probably by the same manufacturer.  Synergy is everything.  
Are the 6 speakers from a 2001 Bose Lifestyle 20 Music System worth anything?
Now I know where Kenjit  gets those audiophile ears from, he listens to Bose.  It all makes perfect sense now.  
MHDT Lab Havana Driver
Perhaps Windows 8.1 does not support the driver.  
Magnum Dyna Lab MD 308 Integrated Amp.. OR.. Kenwood KA 8100 Integrated Amp
I owned a Kenwood 8100 integrated amp in the 70’s because the audio store I worked in carried the line.  Yes it looks good but the sound quality isn’t all that. If you push the amp even a little, the sound gets very thin, very fast.  That was a $3... 
I have a theory...
@kenjitKind of full of yourself, aren’t you? 
Budget tower speakers that rock!
Audio Classics has a pair of JBL L100 speakers listed for 1K.  These are the original vintage speakers and are one of the best speakers for Rock. I owned a pair in the 70’s.  The Who sounded unbelievable on them as well as all the top groups.   
VPI Classic Setup By Brian Walsh
Is this a costly endeavor? 
Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude?
@verdantaudio,When I list something for $300.00 and get offers of $200.00 or less, thats lowballing and pretty rude.  If the offer came in at like$275.00, I would take it in a heartbeat.  Some people here are quite shameless in what they offer.   ... 
Connectivity Problems
@goofyfoot,I had the exact same problem with a Classe' CAP 150 integrated amp.  It went back to the factory 3 times for various cold solder connections.  Classe', finally replaced the entire board after the third attempt to fix it.  Let me tell yo...
