Best speakers for Pink Floyd?
I do not listen to rock music recently, but at an audio show, I heard Pink Floyd was playing with JBL, which sounded very impressive! 
Recommend small, low power but low noise monoblocks
The best amp I have ever heard is First Watt SIT-1 which a friend of mine wanted to hear with my speakers. They were not powerful enough for my speakers, but it sounded much much better than any other amps that I heard with my B&W 800d. Since ... 
What makes an expensive speaker expensive
I own $20000 B&W speakers. At audio show, the speakers I felt obviously better than mine were all a lot more than $20000. I think price does matter somehow. 
What in the world is going on.....
I own Stereophile Class-A equipments. The Stereophile recommended disks sound great, but most of my other favorite music sound OK, or sound horrible with my B&W 800D... A friend of mine told me it's nothing unusual. 
Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications?
ghosthouse, I trust your ears and words, and I respect your honesty. 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
Someone told me the most expensive speaker money can buy today is the very old Western Electric. 
Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications?
With my system, I can clearly hear the difference Tidal HiFi vs High, but if someone changes my setting secretly, I have little confidence if I can detect it . lol. 
Tidal equivalent for Classical?
Tidal Classical music collection is pretty reasonable to me, but search function is horrible. It's very hard to find the one I'm locking for. 
A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true?
I have the same experience as paranee. JBL (I believe it was DD67000) was the best sounding speaker at the show, unexpectedly. Now I’m curious about their less expensive or older models, and wondering if they are still as good as the DD67000. 
Magico Ultimate, how is it?
I wish I have them even they do sound horrible (unlikely). They do look spectacular. 
Should I buy a Class A Amp.
I don’t know what makes the difference, but when I went to an audio show, all of the rooms that I’m impressed with happened to be Class-A. I don’t still know if it was just a coincidence. 
JBL Everest DD67000 vs. Avantgarde Duo Mezzo
I think I’m a fan of JBL, but not sure.I bought my first real high end audio system, B&W 800D and second hand Classe, based on the reviews on Stereophile and the other internet review sites. It seemed to me that B&W is the safest bet for t...
