| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? There are plenty of threads where people talk about the test tracks and test discs they use when auditioning equipment. I see the kind of music I describe mentioned very rarely. When I say "I'd argue" I was using the verb in the sense of "propos... | |
| Do you use a custom Power Cord on a Power Conditioner? Just ordered an Isotek EVO3 Synchro for my EVO3 Sigmas. | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report @mikeel... Yes, another plus with Salk is that he's open to customizing individual speakers for customers. Sometimes these turn out so well, he adds them to his line-up, leading to the proliferation of models.Ironic too that I was asking him pret... | |

| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) @gene3x Have you heard the Wilson Sabrina's? With a modest dealer discount, they fit into your budget, and have been widely lauded. | |
| Spam threads gone wild... There are six or eight Thugs of Hindostan threads posted right now. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker My impression is that these amps are run a lot in bridged mono mode, and that indeed Benchmark may recommend this.

| What’s a 10k to 15k speaker from smaller company that performs well? @calvinj With Salk you'll come in under 10K. The Song3 BEAT or Song3 Encore fit your needs. | |

| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K At your price point new you're looking at Daedalus Athena or Muse. The owner Lou won't steer you wrong. There's also a used Argos mk2 for sale right now that is very tempting. | |
| What’s a 10k to 15k speaker from smaller company that performs well? Yes, Daedalus is one of the obvious recommendations. Also take a look at Chapman Audio. |
