Fake bi-wire with two amps
So you're asking if you can connect both amps at the same time without a switch box so you can pic which amp you want to listen to each time... Every shop or review I read either uses a switch box or puts simple banana plugs on the amp end to chan... 
Looking for Dynaudio Confidence C4s
check hifi shark, there's a pair listed  
Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!!
Borrensen is, and correct me if I'm wrong. the Rolex of hifi the biggest difference being Rolex keeps time while letting everyone know you've got money to burn. The company offers no reason to think they are better equipped to build subs than the ... 
I am just very happy with my system.
I love my system, yet I also really enjoy listening to new speakers to listen for the changes in playback, for better or worse. I don't know what a c note on the piano is, don't care, but when my favorite music gets boring to listen to when chilli... 
Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark
Couple years old now, but more and more of a reality as our favorite companies get swallowed by giant corps and start competing at the mass level. I bought a dining room set from a company named Pennsylvania House, a $11k set that I thought meant ... 
The criteria for loudspeaker choices.
I don't put much, if any stock in marketing blurb. PSA was on the cusp of releasing a floor standing speaker, but the showing at Axpona (pre covid) got so little attention that the company threw out that design and started over from scratch. The F... 
Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome.
sometimes I wonder if there's a translation issue when online.  
Decisions, decisions, decisions
When I was shopping amps for my speakers I really didn't start to hear a difference until I stepped up to a Krell KAV 300il. I already had a B&K 4420 and multiple 150 wpc amps from virtually every 'mid level'  Acurus, Sunfire, Nak, Nad, the li... 
Dali Epicon 6 vs Rubicon 8
Good points by rick_n, but I still suggest finding the NEW rubikore b4 dropping any coin on Dali.  
Speakers that disappear
This, Why I liked MQA so much, the hi rez mqa was so spacious sounding that the room, speakers and everything in it disappeared.....   I find the further I can get speakers away from reflecting surfaces the easier they vanish audibly.   
Upgrade from Revel 228be?
If you want to stay with revel the salon 2 are a healthy upgrade that with enough power won't need sub's in your room. I found a pair of Usher be20dmd's that I preferred then midrange and soundstage ability over the salon 2, but the be20 bass was ... 
$8k for speakers - new or used
fastfreight our OP didn't ask for smooth and sweet, he asked for detail and slam. I understand ASR recommends revel speakers for everything and if someone doesn't prefer them they need to train themselves to listen correctly until they do prefer ... 
Dali Epicon 6 vs Rubicon 8
The new Rubikore is a better speaker then the epicon 8 yet retails for half the price, so I have to 2nd bill_k.  
$8k for speakers - new or used
Why does everyone tell everybody else to buy what they own? B&W 804D3 will have plenty of detail, more than most in fact. Try moving the speakers around a bit, toe in, closer to boundary's while aiming them at listening position, you know the ... 
Would McIntosh Auto Transformers affect speaker sound?
Interesting posts, I generally value Audiotroy's experience however regarding Mac no. I stayed away from Mac for 30 years because of their no discount 'snooty' policy. Recently I replaced an amp with similar power into 4 ohms(my speakers claim) an...
