Kelly- Well at my age I don't fully understand what's going on-but hell what's new, I never know what's going on. We've had our ups and downs, but I think we are both after the same thing, and that is common ground to work from. I am sure I am not... 
Who R U?
Mark- There is a member here who lives near me-though we have never met- and he is into recording, I don't know what his moniker is but I do have his email address, if you want to get in touch with him send me an email I'll give you his email addr... 
small room , need Surround and Backs
Why not use the magnepan surrounds? they seem to be very versitale and in your set up youd'e be able to put them on the ceiling with out any problems.~Tim 
How do you get to demo equipment?
I have to sleep with the owners of various audio shops to get my way, its a shame this hobby is dominatly male :( 
How many truly high-end speakers sold yearly?
Well first of all let me say I don't know much. But I do know that folks who blow 70k on a pair of speakers usually aren't your run of the mill audiophile, they have a good relationship with a dealer/friend. I wouldn't give 70k to anybody I didn't... 
What do you do when the kids come along?
At my age I don't see kids anytime soon!! Though I think most of what was said here sounds familiar ;) I have to Girlfriend proof my system which I think is enough trouble!Bwyoung-Your oldest is only a year younger then me!! 
Best connection, BNC, Balanced, toslink, ATT
Sattothestars-I agree its hard to say what's best, listen(I know you have it in ya Dave), the super high end companies use ATT(accuphase, dCS and I think burmester). I know more then a few members use several digital outs to there dac and switch b... 
Why no threads on OTL amps?
Kris,I imagine the soundlabs and Tenors wasn't that greatest set up, wolcotts would have been great though! The tenor's are very speaker dependent find a GREAT speaker like Rockports, Kharmas, Piega, Talon, etc.... you have magic but on the wrong ... 
Why no threads on OTL amps?
Chris-He is using Verity Audio Parsifal Encores, which isn't a very good synergistically. We switched back and forth from the monitor and the whole speaker and it sounds much more like music with just the monitor which is surprise 8 ohms and with ... 
Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)
Sinclair-I hear you, I have a few though I have down sized a bit. I am dreaming of the Ulysse Nardin(the name slips my mind) it isn't on there website its around 65k and I think its worth it, like you said in that range things only go up in value.... 
Coolest looking cd player in history
Tweekerman-Not quiet, check out burmester or Boulder for the most expensive digital front ends, dCS may be up there haven't checked pricing out in a while. 
Why no threads on OTL amps?
Tacs-You'd need a lot more then 30k for your dream system, the amps alone are $19,995 per pair. I have spent a good deal of time listening to these amps on a good friends system and they are as good as everyone says, perhaps better. OTL's are incr...
