Opinions!!
I would be interested in that comparison. 
New game with active speakers
I think serious money starts at $10k. Isn’t that what the Dutch & Dutch sells for? I haven’t heard it yet but reviews are promising.  
Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2
Bump, OP what’s happening on the loudspeaker search? I think we were discussing on another thread. My dealer told me I needed the 9h for my room, but tbh the 7f do pretty good. If after I complete my circuit. The Blade, A5, and ns5000 still need t... 
Vienna Acoustics Subwoofer
I have a pair of Beethovens and a sub isn't going to give you better dynamics as the mid crosses over really low, like 75 hz. so they are what they are. If you want sub bass then by all means. 
Opinions!!
I'm using a pair of persona 7f that I grabbed instead of the blades because they were within driving distance. I think if you've been listening to Martin Logans for the last decade you're going to find most conventional speakers dull, that said th... 
What are your experiences with upgrading power cords on KEF LS50 wireless?
JPS labs power cords might have something at a price sensible for the ls50 
Looking for more detail in a speaker
To the first post. I have a pair of speakers that takes the song 'lost cause' by beck and turns it into a magical mystery tour. the background, idk woodwinds? flute? overlayed in the mix on one specific pair of speakers sound distinct and amazing,... 
What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities?
Just shop AG and USAM, buy low try at home and resell un til you get a taste for how each reacts to your listening room and components. 
What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities?
yo, djones51 are you bringing all that asr stuff over to ag? I really don't know why revels from the performa 3 and newer sound so generic to me? maybe because I listen t 2 channel stereo and the later waveguides seem to diffuse the soundstage idk... 
are 4000$ /pr speakers today better than $4000/pr speakers from mid to late 1990's?
I like this^^^^. I did start buying up class A speakers from the 90's since they're finally affordable and reviewers of that time could really write a story. The more exotic the speakers get the more finicky they get regarding amplification so it'... 
What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities?
Here we go again. I bought a used pair of meridian dsp 8000’s they cost what a $10k investment in speakers then add whatamp,pre and dac would cost and it’s to my ears the most natural sound i’ve gotten. I had to turn the bass down a few ticks, but... 
$10K Budget for Speakers: Martin Logan Masterpiece vs Tannoy
If you enjoyed the previous 16 years of Martin Logan then it could be safe to assume your room, components, and ears are going to prefer them. Congrats. 
When was the first time that you heard great sounding speakers?
freshman hs, I think. First time I ditched the afternoon classes and got high with the ‘cool kids’ it was a clock radio and baba o’reilley had just come out and was playing. I’ve been chasing that magic ever since and I gotta say at this point I t... 
Paradigm Personas anyone heard them
I’ve been buying speakers used here and on usam to home demo for as long as I want with my equipment in my room. I figure once I get the pair that gets it the way I like it I can keep them or resell to get the finish I prefer. I can’t afford to ch... 
What should be my next speaker - the never ending question
Wanting that kind of detail and putting smooth in the same sentence is kinda what we all want. What I found that got me there won't do you any good since our rooms have nothing in common. I like the VA Listz suggestion, but...
