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.

Larry - the whole AER website is pretty cool.  The PNOE on You Tube was really great sounding albeit You tube.  LOL.  The price is way above my league, but I did like the look.  It seems they are either $65 - $ 90k or under $20k.....nothing in bet...

Larry....yes the Avantgarde's I would say are on my finalist list.  I have heard the Uno Fino.  Just need to find the Uno XD and the Duo somewhere around the country.  As stated before, I just purchases Mola Mola Amps for another speaker.  If they...

I did go to Deja Vu in San Diego and I had an extensive listening session with them.  I also have been to shows in New York and LA.  I just got back from a week in LA and San Diego with the sole purpose of listening to speakers.  I am going to Dal...

Handicap is 4.  I am building a somewhat modern home so believe it or not the speakers must not only sound great but must be good looking also.  Boxier vintage style horns will not pass the eye test.  AvantGarde is a contender.  The Uno XD is more...

Has anyone from around the world heard the Horn Universum 3 way that are made in Poland?  There are none in North America.  Second question, audio stores are telling me you need to use tube amps with Horns.  Do you agree?  I recently purchased Mol...

The other factor I have is I am building a large listening room.  It will be 20 x 35 so the speakers need to fill the space.
