Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer
I have had very positive experiences with this Chicago dealer and have personally met with Albert at his store in Chicago. Earlier this year, I drove +3 hours one way and I spent about 4 hours with him demoing different equipment from brands like:... 
Think ill just go with a lumin
I purchased a Lumin D2 about 2 years ago and liked Lumin so much that I upgraded to the Lumin T2 last month.  I highly recommend the T2 as a starting point based on several factors: Improved soundstage and musicality over the D2, fantastic app tha... 
Short list of musical subwoofers
I have been through many subs and recently replaced my Martin Logans with REL s/812's.  My only recommendation would be to make sure whatever you land on get a pair. Good Luck!   
What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.
My set up is: Roon Nucleus+, a Synology NAS DS918+ and a Lumin T2.  The Lumin T2 offers a great soundstage and I just upgraded from a Lumin D2.  I use the Lumin T2 in my main listening area and I have Sonos set up in 7 different zones where I use ...

Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD
I love my McIntosh and Sonus Faber combination. You will too.  Magico speakers sound a bit hollow with McIntosh based on my demos.   
Capital Audio Fest Notes
@divertiti My best of show by a LONG shot was the Kharma Exquisite Midi I was introduced to Kharma in April and was blown away as well.  The dealer had the DB9S which were very impressive so I can't imagine how great the midi sounded.  Thanks for ...

Looking for Speaker Input
Earlier this year I had the opportunity to demo many amps connected to an Aurender Streamer and many different speaker combinations.  I heard amps from Boulder, McIntosh, Luxman, Pass to name a few. Speakers heard were Focal various models, Magico... 
Rotel RSX 1550 and RMB 1585
@oldhvymec   It was a blown fuse on My RSX 1550 and since the trigger was in use on my RMB1585 that's why it would not come on.  All fixed now and they actually cleaned everything uo on the insides and plays like a champ again. Woots 
NO listening sessions posible , bookshelf for a Raven Nighthawk
I recently purchased the Sonus Faber Sonetto II's and all I can say is WOW!  For such a small speaker it really does over deliver your expectations. I, too, like you, was unable to audition and went with a dealer recommendation and am beyond thril... 
REL vs JL AUDIO
I just switched from my Martin Logan Force subs and picked up 2 REL subs after demoing REL and JL Audio.  Extremely happy with the upgrade.

@mayoradamwest Can you tell me more about your ARC/Alexia 2 set up?  I'm looking at both of these to upgrade my system.  What are you using as a Preamp?Thanks!Woots 
replace Mcintosh with Luxman
I had the opportunity to demo my current McIntosh MC1.2kwh amps as well several amps and speakers. I did listen to the Luxman 900u amp you are looking at and the Luxman gave much more detail than the McIntosh with every set of speakers that were d...
