Dromme....I wish it were that easy.  The hardest part of my journey is hearing a speaker today that sounds good and then in three weeks you go listen to another speaker. It is hard to remember the differences in sound from the different speakers o... 
Just got my Lumin T2 wasome sound but very bad app
I have had the Lumin A-1 and the X-1 and I think the Lumin App is fantastic.  It is super easy to use.  I use Tidal as well as my NAS collection.

Today I had the opportunity to listen to JBL 4367's.  They sounded good but not a game changer or one that I would put on my finalist list.  I thought the bass was lacking and voice clarity not as good as Avantgarde.  They were driven by a Class A...

That is another reason I like the What's Best Audio and Video forum.  Pictures and graphs do help.

Mahlman....trust me, I will not sacrifice sound for looks.  How I got on this horn search to begin with was hearing the Avantgarde Uno Fino.  That was the first horn I heard and in the same room I heard, Meridian, Eggleston, Vivid, Stenheim Alumin...

soundsrealaudio....will on Torus work?  There has not been much news online since 2007 on this item.  Are you a dealer?   How much are they now including the amp?

If i were doing a mid century modern, Volti, Audio Kinesis, Classic Audio would all fit, but I am not. Right now it is down to Avantgarde, hORNS Universum or Symphony and Pure Audio Project.  Others could be added.   
My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
Dealers voices are invaluable imo.  I don't care if they are representing certain lines.  For those who are pained by it why not just ignore it.  I never heard of Audiotroy before being on this site.  He has strong opinions and yes he is most know...

As the OP, how I started on this adventure was because I heard the Avantgarde Uno Fino.  I had never heard any horn type speaker before.  That prompted my question and the wonderful learning experience from reading everyone's post.   I am embarkin... 
New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC
I have extensive experience with Lumin having owned the A-1 and now the X-1.  First off, the app is simple, easy to use and saves you money because you won't need Roon or JRiver.  Second, I had an Emm Lab DAC 2xV2 hooked up to it also.  I ended up...

A lot of love for Klipsch speakers on this thread.  Hmmmm, I wonder why there are so many for sale on the US audio mart website?

MrD --- i will have a totally separate theater room in my new home which will be acoustically perfect.  Unfortunately, my two channel room is a combination great room and kitchen. That is my current set up and the music still sounds incredible.  I...

I appreciate everyone's feedback.  It has truly been eye opening and interesting.  I have studied each and every suggestion made.  While I am no where near to making a decision, I am going to eliminate a few of the recommendations.  I have elimina...

Right now I have Mola Mola Kaluga mono amps which will deliver more power than I could possible need.

This is a crazy hobby that we have.   Here I am looking at $30-40k speakers for my new house, and then I think I have a loaded 2019 Mustang GT that costs less than $45k.   Somehow that does not make sense.
