Energy speakers
That ebay listing is only a "deal" if the OP LIVES in SoCal proper. Listing clearly states NO BOXES PICKUP ONLY. If the OP is outside of the area, it's a NO DEAL.  
Energy speakers
Energy speakers-price point/value, big box store brand popular with home theater fans. Relative to price, you get a decent speaker. Especially when you can get them on sale.  Not worth  exerting  audio neurosis over. Get them if they're in your ... 
Turned back into a music lover
"instead of listening for audio thrills you’ve turned back into a music lover." Does this mean there are members here who listen for "audio thrills" instead of the actual music?  SHOCKING!  
Bybee Technologies Crystal Series Plug-in Speaker Bullets.
"Stunning improvement in: detail retrieval, ambiance and spatial presentation, vocal and instrumental color, transient and dynamic impact, and harmonic completeness"  If you have $10K+ speakers and they don't perform with those attributes WITHOUT... 
Diggin in the Crates
Pretty impressive to have such a diverse musical experience and STILL be reasonably young. With such a resume, you'd expect a guy looking much older and frail, from all the excess he lived thru.  
AudioMagic Fuses Bad Quality I Do Not Recommend!!
Audiophool defusing is remedied by purchasing good components/speakers  setup appropriately with realistic expectations.  
Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive?
" The cabinets and parts are Chinese sourced what % not sure we will ever know." dayglow- Perhaps you are aware, much of all audio products have China attached to it. Especially many of those nice black lacquer boxes for those hi digit "USA" spe... 
Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive?
 If the market wants something, they will pay-pretty simple. The last 2 years certainly didn't help. It's not food, gas or necessity, so why should anyone complain? It is what it is. Retail markup is pretty insane from a consumer standpoint. I ... 
Help! Which speakers to exhibit in Long Beach, CA audio show?
You shouldn’t have mentioned what how you heard in the presentation.  
Ridiculous sale
I call that "strategic selling" See the "make offer button?" My guess is the bar is raised high, for anticipating buyers negotiating a lower, "reasonable' price. Seller likely will sell at a profit, but....you just never know? Of course, there ...

Has something happened to the Whatsthebest audio forum?
"I have not been able to find the Whatsthebest audio forum" You're not finding it because there is no such website. Perhaps you're seeking to read about "what's the best' so go here: https://www.whatsbestforum.com/  
UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread
leadcrew- YOU win the internet. The thread is about Ted's view on EVH and R&R, that's it. I saw Ted in 76, at his peak (IMO)before his "Cat Scratch Fever" and later rubbish.  
Alan White-Yes. R.I.P.
"The poor man was obviously ill, and could only play a couple of songs before taking a break and being replaced by another drummer whose kit was also set up on the stage. The really sad part was that it is a round revolving stage at this venue, a... 
Disappointing short life of NOS preamp tube
"I actually wonder that. Not sure there’s a guarantee of being "NOS", or whether that would even matter except for power tubes." mulveling- yeah, the "NOS" thing is roll of the dice. With preamp tubes, it may not be such an issue whether or not y...
