Kal was right!
Writeup is promising.  Nice looking speaker. Their cherry finish or ebony would be my choice. Nearly $20k MSRP but... MIC. Suppose that would be double if made in Wisconsin?  Enjoy them.      
Why I sold my Magnepan .7's
" taken way out of context, especially by tablejockey." rankaudio- my comment is based on your experience "-Magnepans appear to shoot an equal amount of sound from the rear as well." The rear of the room/placement needs to be addressed. You did... 
So much music that we never hear!
Radio station programming is to keep a listener for around 20 minutes. Nothing new. It's been this way for decades. Expand your listening tastes to Classical and Jazz for the PBS stations. They don't do the radio "formula"  
How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
"Do you have a suite of measurements that removes all shadow of a doubt that you are getting good sound, sound that you enjoy? " In the spirit of audio as a hobby, you analyze the frequency response in your room. Being a gear head, kinda like hav... 
Turntables thump when turning off?

Bought the wrong subwoofer!
"Going to pick up a Rel Britannia b3." That's a 15 year old design when the company was R E L, not "REL." Completely different  company, with different direction.  . Part of the last lineup  when it was still  made in England. I use 2 B3's. The...

New listening room question
Serious room-no fan. What- no central air? The best rooms seem to have to damping/diffusion figured out for ALL walls(ceiling included) Study the websites. Speak with the personnel. The big challenge-make the room aesthetically pleasant and not... 
Rel Does Not Recomment Isolation Stands
"Even though I am NOT electronics engineer I think this is an interesting subjet..." Since we're dealing with what sounds "good"-that alone is debated  endlessly, Engineering white papers docs, graphs, charts etc. only go so far.  Anything after... 
Help with short list of intergrateds and phono stage
Great position to be in-choice between 2 good brands. I'm in the all tube camp-Allnic. For aesthetic, I like the Luxman -classic, timeless look .You'll  possibly  will miss that last bit of tube personality? Just to make sure, get both and swit... 
Cost of Turntable vs. cost of Phono Stage
 "Black Ice Audio F159 with upgrades" Since it was developed by Fosgate, it should be decent performer. What's interesting is the cross talk feature. What is the "upgrade?" Different tubes? I use a 10 year old Fosgate Signature. True all tube-Re...
