Standmount speakers. I have $5000.
2le: that’s +3 for Fritz. Are you an owner? Studying Carerra 7 Be now - very attractive build, spec and reviews. Dude has been designing & building speakers since 1973! I like the assured yet modest voice that comes through in all the descript...

b_limo: yes vox populis is persuasive (+3 for Dynaudio, +2 for Pulsars). Thanks for pointing to the simple truth in the numbers.tweak: ah yes, thanks, will check Emerald Physics. It was a supporter (and dealer) of theirs who put me onto Syzygy sub...

duke - thanks for the thoughtful reply. Just me in my seat, mostly on-axis, with ears about 7-8 feet from front plane of standmounts. On occasion I do jump up and dance/throw-body-about regardless of anyone watching ; )

drhelzer - thank you, Focal wasn't on my radar. Sopra #1 stretches my budget but will look into.b_limo - yes my head is spinning. Joseph Audio Pulsars are on my short list. Your Nola affinity persuades - I'll add Dynaudio Special 40. I guess I...

atl4love: thanks for the guidance, esp. as fellow Nola fan. I'm listening to the v1 Boxers right now and reminded of the surprising delight, detail and honesty in these small-ish but brilliant boxes.jwh2 you speaking my dialect (Micromega et fran...

...have a look at the Rosso Fiorentino...thanks jm, will check those out for sure.  are you current/former Boxer owner?I’m about to list my Selah Tempestas.db: attractive - in part because they're 3-way (like the Salk SS 7M).  Will look.new Dynaud...

you will not be satisfied unless the speakers are tuned to your ears. $5k is too much for standmounts. You wont even get fullrange soundkenjit: I’ve been reasonably ’satisfied’ with untuned Nola Boxer 2-ways paired with two ’room-corrected’ Syzygy...

roni44 said: "...get another DDC"Yeah I’m wary of interfaces like that ... especially at that price, those reviews, and that it’s apparently a ’chi-fi’ product. I have nothing against ’chi-fi’ per se - IF the companies are well-established, with r...

"...which connection is best?"Do whatever's easiest? That any of those connection paths will make a audible difference for you & your hearing is the subject of lots of fighting and mumbo-jumbo.From my LAN (and a inexpensive hub) I use the RJ4...

Micromega M-100/150 field reports
When the extended M-100 "system" works, it’s a delight.But only when it works. Network module continues to be intermittently and infuriatingly unreliable, such that the M-100 gets "lost" on my LAN and needs a f’ing amp and network firmware reinsta... 
Qobuz.
I too was as hopeful as the rest for Qobuz USA. And then I tried the beta trial. For me the subjective improvement in sound quality isn’t enough to overcome the objective shortfalls: the native app UX & function, the web app UX & function,... 
Qobuz.
Revised verdict:After a few more days using Qobuz, the slightly-better-than-Tidal audio quality may not be enough to overcome the absolutely sh!tty search UX and catalog indexing. Even if Qobuz has the recordings I've painstakingly assembled in m... 
Qobuz.
@bander "Who is using g [sic] Qobuz and how are you finding it?"1. Qobuz > Tidala. audio quality: to my ear Qobuz "Studio" is better than Tidal hifi and Master: broader dynamic/frequency range, better definition, presence, air, blah blah quack ...
