Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
@atmasphere  I will gladly take a listen to the King Crimson album.  King Crimson in general is a very different type of rock similar to Pink Floyd.   I have been  a fan of King Crimson. If I were to just listen to rock.....Van Halen, Bob Seger,... 
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
I find listening to rock vs jazz, instrumentals or classical are totally different.  With Rock I am listening to guitars, drums, and maybe a piano.  I am listening to the overall beat and vibe.   Rock and roll recordings are meant for dynamic spea...

High End Repair in Phoenix
James is the only guy I would trust my system with.  His business moved from their Phx Location and I am not sure where the new location is  
Help me spend $100,000 on a new system
Consider better cable, especially the speaker cables.  Two of the best I have testred Are Hijiri and QSA Lanedri.  Your system is already very nice.  
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
@calvinj   I have to agree at least on Audiogon.  I attended the launch of the Lampi Horizon DAC in Feb 2022.  After the launch, I posted my review of what I heard.  The hate and negative comments caused me to ask Audiogon to take down the thread ...

I had Canary Audio 300B Mono amps with a Canary 1800 Dual Preamp.  I had a Lampizator Pacific  DAC.  People kept telling me I should try the Pacific direct to the 300B's but I wouldn't.  Then one day, just for the hell of it I did try going DAC to...
