Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under
Get a couple of phased array type PA speakers and an 18" powered sub, then you can rock yer gonzagas off and entertain the neighbors for much less than 15K. 
Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1
I've actually done a comparison at a shop that sells Rockports and Magicos (accidentally stumbled into this little shoot out), and although both deliver the goods in the mega buck sound arena, I preferred the Rockports as seeming slightly more "th... 
Schiit not shipping
My Freya, albeit with non stock Sylvania 6SN7GTBs, projects a perfectly balanced soundstage with depth and air unless the recording has none, in which case it produces that also. 
Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel
My Heresy III "Capital Edition" speakers were just under $1500 (they list for $2500 as they're a "special" edition with signed cabs and non standard finishes, although exactly the same performance as a standard Heresy III) and included free shippi... 
Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar
Wondering if in Australia Schiit is pronounced "shite."

The Heresy IIIs have surprisingly accurate bass within their range...relatively "hump" free, although that of course is influenced by where you put them.  
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Many critics of this thread are absolutely NOT "knocking the product," (except for the simple fact that graphene is extremely carcinogenic...be on the lookout for my new asbestos based contact enhancement products, as it’s no biggie, right?) they’... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Wait a minute...I think I should get credit for first pointing out the "graphene is carcinogenic" facts (maybe I’m not the first...still...), and for my endless harping on the hyperbolic sales push issue...AMG is hijacking my angry tweaker base! 
Looking for a warm sweet speaker
Silverline Preludes. 
Leave preamp on all day, off at night
Clearly the answer for tube longevity is to never turn a tube amp on at all...this does have an impact on the sound of your rig as there will be none, but the tubes will last MUCH longer. 
Bob Carver new tune expected
It's not a question, it's more of a poem...nearly haiku. 
Leave preamp on all day, off at night
Turning tubes on and off helps the tubes last longer. That's simply a fact. Tubes don't age when they're off. 
Schiit not shipping
I'm sure Schiit isn't happy with delays in shipping as it's likely that many have cancelled orders, and getting a bad reputation for service is something no manufacturer wants. In any case, although mine was delayed by a couple of weeks back in No... 
Surprised
I paid 200 bucks each for my 2 RELs. 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
This thread is an obvious commercial enterprise filled with the same hyperbole and sales zeal as the SR red and black fuse threads. It's "Beta testers to sales generators," and hey...Mrock gets 3 grand for every 10 bottles of this stuff he moves s...
