Raven Osprey Sonics But With More Power
I would still talk to Dave at Raven and ask him about the new MK4 Reflection.  Maybe you can do a trade.  I used to own the MK3 Reflection in a room the size of 45''L x 32'W with 20'H ceilings.  My Reflection at 65wpc  drove that room effortlessly...

Are Sales Down
During Covid, I was able to sell a lot of components and cables very quickly.  In the last year, I have had no luck selling anything, even with really good equipment.  For example, I have had an Inakustic 3500P Power Conditioner on multiple sights...

Music Server Advice

Is it still worth buying a Lumin x1 in 2023?
+1 tuberist. i have had the Lumin D-2, A-1, U-1 mini and the X-1.   There is no comparison.  Not to hurt your feelings but I found the D-2 to be lifeless.  The X-1 with new power supply is solid.  Look for the X-1 on the used market for between 8...
