Yamaha NS 5000
7 year old thread. Must be some impressive speakers!!  
Anything that sounds similar to the Dynaudio Confidence series?
If you have a Dali dealer and can demo the new Epikore line depending on the sound you're looking for they might be an option.  
Accuphase Experiences
Thanks for checking back in. Accuphase build quality, fit and finish draws my attention even when I'm satisfied with what I already have.  
Will an Amp change improve my system ?
I demoed a half a dozen amps that all sounded the same from Nac, B&K, NAD, Sunfire, RGR and a couple others that made no difference. When I stepped up and tried a Krell product I was impressed at how much smoother music was. All those 200 wpc ... 
Accuphase Experiences
Congrats on your purchase and please post your impressions after living with the gear after a month or so.  
Starting my showroom again
i buy used or get like discounts on new gear. if you can keep the doors open offering 30-50% discounts on everything you should do ok, otherwise nah.   
Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers
I look at Tekton and think of VMPS, a brand I was quite interested in as a young, strapped music lover. A big box brimming with lots of drivers. Having never heard a pair I can't comment on SQ, but I think 1 look would suggest what to expect them ... 
Bose buys McIntosh
glad i've already bought my mac gear.  
Speakers for low-level listening
the easiest solution for me, as simple as it is. Create a smaller listening triangle for low volume listening.  
Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse
IDK, 30 years old with drivers that are discontinued? I'd pass. there's speakers out there that can sound very good that have support.  
Recommended amplification
some speakers thrive off the headroom high power amps provide.  
B&W 705s3 vs Kef Meta R3
BB has a generous return policy so it is usually safe to bring a product home and try it. Sometimes room acoustics will align with a rooms natural peaks and valleys to offer a uniquely pleasant tonal balance. never say never.   
Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget
We haven't heard from the OP since 11/5, probably buried in holiday stuff. When people say forward bass with reserved highs my limited experience always makes me think of Dynaudio, I've never even owned a pair, but had a pair of audience 80's for ... 
55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey
No tv in my (main) basement listening room, but I replaced the Plasma’s with a Sony A80j 65" oled in 22 and in the family room in 23 the A85 Sony oled. Both sets are google OS and have been problem free. The family room can’t be difficult for frie... 
Kef Blade to Blade meta?
Coming up for air. Am I allowed to plug a local hifi shop? I had an appt to listen to the latest Epikore to land in the USA the day after my crash. Several days later I sent a text to let them know why I missed the appt and the shop owner I was ta...
