Revel Ultima Salon opinions
I sold a pair in perfect condition for $57005-6 years ago. they are nice but if you have an average size room you can do better, and like todd said no more replacements. TBH while revel speakers don't have major flaws they don't bring any energy t... 
Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
Any kef blade owners out there using these?  
When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you?
One of my favorite brands is Vienna acoustics and they measure below average so nope, i couldn’t give a rats a$$ what they measure like as long as they sound good in my room with my gear.  
Upgrade path from Paradigm Studio Reference V3
I brought the studio ref v2 homeand found them lacking in 2 areas, slight lack of midrange resolution and the finish was paper thin otherwise for the asking price great speakers. The Dali oberon 9 would be the same price but might surprise you oth... 
Not Sure If This Is OK Here, But Here Goes
It’s stressful enough as a seller packing, shipping, insuring and praying the moving company doesn’t screw up. Be patient and put the gear on usam also.  
JTR Speakers, why so much?
Since COVID some building materials have quadrupled in price!  Finding out what markup for dealers can amount to it seems there should be some concession for factory direct.  
Tekton speaker comparison thread
I’m not here to poop on the Teton parade,k? I’ve been buying every speaker I can find on AG that list between $15-$35,000 and one thing I’ve found is there isn’t a perfect speaker.

Speakers for Hegel H95 that could use its full potential.
Seeing a lot of hegel and kef pairings at shows and I think I read somewhere Magico uses hegel in their listening room.   
Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’)
AT is a legacy and kef dealer so would know best but the blade is rated at 117 max spl. Klipsch highs were always too splashy for me and they seem to be a love em or leave em brand. There's a pair of meridian dsp 8000's on auction right now that w... 
Are the Paradigm Founder Series really, really good speakers?
daaajester,The persona's are true destination speakers that thrive in a system built around them. The founder line is more affordable and will likely sound better in a multi purpose room/system.  
Wanted Kef 107. 2 Woofers
same as in r 107  
KEF 107 without Kube
using eq is the only solution for you now, but kef had the bass peak at 5hz rolling off so it was flat by 40 hz in order to avoid the mid bass hump every other manufacturer does to get deep bass. the kube also smoothed out some defeciency around 3... 
All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?!
In room measurements show the A5 to have an exceptional mid with seriously room dependant bass and treble. I can still hear to 16k so I don't think I would want a speaker that rolls off at 5k. I bought the Blades instead.
