| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under @ctsooner Point taken. But all I can say is that hearing Mahler/large symphony orchestra in full hue and cry on the Harbeths produced the most lifelike sound, from the point of view of scale and sheer majesty, that I've heard from any loudspeaker... | |
| Options on Belles / Belles Aria? I left Rogue and moved on to Belles. Out of the box, cold, competent but nothing magical; after 50 hours or so they really started to sing, and still a little more so each day. Brilliantly designed, well-made, honest, un-hyped, fairly priced in t... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under I haven't read through the whole thread, but if your ceiling is 15K I'm surprised not to find mention here of the Harbeth 40.2. I heard them recently and thought them extraordinarily good. After the first few seconds of playing the first cut, wh... | |

| Impressive Audiogon, Great Job! It's expand-your-vocabulary day today. And today's word is: sycophancy. | |
| New Look for Audiogon hard to work with The tiles are dreadful. The keyholes even worse. You can't rapidly see what's being advertised; product name fades into gray, along with all the fuzzy around the circular photo. PLEASE GO BACK TO PREVIOUS VERSION. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @newbee Do you still have your Boleros? (-:The KZ Chopin concertos have been my go-to for years. He floats the piano part in, as you say, a magically lyrical way.Do you have the Radu Lupu late Brahms piano pieces? If not, I'm 99% you'd really li... | |

| Sonus Faber Olympica III or Vienna Acoustics Lists Are you set on the SFs? Cos in my book I'd get the Liszts any day. | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? You've got to wonder about the motivation of a high percentage of those buyers. They're people impressed by the Magico aura, who until now couldn't afford to own the brand. But that's the point: they're buying the brand, not the sound. | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) Exactly.What I was going for in this thread was the enterprise headed by one guy, with perhaps one or two helpers, tops. There seem to be plenty of viable speaker companies operating like this, though the downside is of course that it's diabolica... | |
| Best of the best Integrated amps in 2018 No love for Constellation's various models, CH Precision, or the Ypsilon Phaethon? | |
| Furutech GTX NCF receptical break in, how long In some cases, length of burn-in time = our ears/brain need longer than usual to get used to the new sound. Nothing more. | |
| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? clarinetmonster2, you're crazy. (-;Egregious omissions from your list: Dynaudio Contour 60, Spendor D9, Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Concert Grands. |
