| Have the Golden Ear Tech 7's but considering a speaker a fuller sound and also musical I agree with freediver. I owned Dali Helicons and they were rich and musical, not the most transparent, but very easy to listen to. | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive cstooner, you never answered my question about why Michael Fremer, one of the people most obsessed with sound quality in the world, has upgraded his speakers twice and stayed with Wilsons (Maxx2 to Maxx 3 to Alexandria XLF)? I'm sure he gets a gr... | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? It appears from the posts above that the answer is high manufacturing costs in Britain and some people like the sound enough to pay the price.I disagree with the idea that improvements in speaker technology have not improved the sound of speakers ... | |
| Dali Euphonia vs Wilson Sophia 1 I've owned Dali Helicons and liked them a lot. I'd describe them as being a little on the warm, musical, less detailed side of the sound spectrum. I don't have a clue as to whether they would work for you though. | |

| Do female audiophiles exist willgolf, you’re just going to have to get your wife to understand the necessity of a listening room in your new house. That will be yours and she can have the great room all to herself. It's cheaper than a divorce. | |

I have Hartford homeowner’s and I have asked them several times if I needed extra coverage for an expensive stereo and large music collection and they have always told me no, that it’s covered under personal property.

| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one "I may have missed, but nothing says the whole catalog etc"That’s because no one knows yet. I’m sure they plan to roll MQA encoded recordings out over time. If people buy it, you’ll see more, if not, it will die. | |

| Best Sounding Classic Rock Cd's I need to correct my Beatles recommendation. The album is called "Yellow Submarine Songtrack", not songbook as I stated above. | |
| Best Sounding Classic Rock Cd's Good call rklune. That reminds me that the Beatles "Yellow Submarine Songbook", NOT Soundtrack, is a remixed and remastered album that sounds really good and I love the songs on it. Of course Beatles purists were outraged that the songs were remix... | |
| A Couple Of Articles For Digital Listeners Well so far, so good. I think that we can all agree that some vinyl based systems sound better than some digital based systems and vice versa. And we can agree that some people prefer the sound of vinyl and some people prefer the sound of digital.... | |
| Best Sounding Classic Rock Cd's The Moody Blues reissued their first 7 on SACD in 2006. If you like their trippy albums, I'd start with In Search of the Lost Chord or To Our Children's... If you like their more song oriented albums pick A Question of Balance or Every Good Boy ... |
