Audiophiles & music-have you got it wrong?
The main issue for me these days (and something that was briefly alluded to above) is that, as some of us grow older, the amount of perceived actual time diminishes. Yet music will always require real time to enjoy. Devices may be faster and machi...

Specifically Ritteri? Like what? Do us all a favor and educate us with something besides suppositions. If you can't provide specific examples then stay the heck out of it.NONE of Adcom's products rates as doubling power in halved impedances, eithe...

Semi, who said above: "I suspected Stevecham was the same guy who worked in Music Lover Audio who bashed everything and discredited anything they didn't like.""Stevecham is so sure the one data from Stereophile explains everything?" I have absolut...

Semi you are completely incorrect on this topic. Yo umay goad me but it won't work. Audiogoners are well educated and know the difference between reality and BS, which is what you are fermenting.The input signal used for step reponse analysis cove...

Take a look at Sonus Faber's website (www.sonusfaber.com). Tell me if I'm wrong, but there wasn't a single bit of useful product information I could find about their speakers.

Semi: There is NO WAY that the Amati Homage is time coherent. Just because a manufacturer slants the baffle in no way assures that the speakers will be time coherent. In fact, in a Stereophile review of these speakers,http://www.stereophile.com/lo... 
great little speakers
I use original KEF Q15s in my recording studio and they are fantastic for the price ($250/pair). 
Theta or Bryston amps
I agree with Rsuminsby on the Bryston compatibility with Thiels. However, Richard Hardesty of the Audio Perfectionist, if it matters, thinks very highly of Theta's amps for virtually any application. May your ears decide if you can audition side b...

No-brainer in my opinion. The Vandys are far superior being not only time and phase correct, but with a flat response below 20 Hz when properly set up.
