Thiel Owners
@thieliste Thanks. Can this be easily done or would the speaker need to be shipped to Coherent Source Service?Years ago I bought a cool car instead of the Thiel 3.7’s. I sold the car 2 weeks ago on Facebook, it was crazy, sold in less than an hour... 
Magico A5 (ordered) or S5mkII
There are posts on Audioshark comparing these 2.

Were there any changes to the CS 3.7 during its production run? 
Paradigm Persona series
@steve59 What gear are you using to make your 7F sound so good? 
KEF Blade -- how good are they?
There have been quite a few negative comments on this site over the years about the Blades. I personally think they are the best speakers for what I appreciate the most, incredible placement of performers on the soundstage.One difficulty in owning... 
Wanting to get back into the hobby and want to start with the speakers.

Magico vs the world

A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream......
Glad to see that people on Craigslist are listening to the tunes. The gear does not really matter relative to the importance of music. 
Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system?
+1 on XDRguy His modified Sony Tuner is very good. For the price it is incredible.  https://www.xdrguy.com/ I listen to the same station, which has 2 broadcasts channels. One on FM and the second on HD radio. I listen to the FM on my Magnum Dyna... 
RIP Eddie Van Halen. What was your first stereo you rocked to VH on?

Baby Proof Floorstanding Speakers
I am in the same boat as you. My son though was huge for a 2,3, 4 year old and with a running start I think can knock down most floor standers. Between the ages of 2 and 3 my boy just wanted to run and sort of body check things. When he hit 4 his ...

@decooney  Brilliant interview. 
Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed!
Room treatments do little to address modal problems in a small room. I tried. Minimal benefits. And do you really want to fill a small room with 10inch ugly looking panels? In my experience this statement is 100% wrong for my system and room. I... 
Beating a dead horse.... SACD
I recently got my Vacuum State moded Sony SCD-1 out of storage and back into my system.  I have to say it is a pleasant surprise after all these years. I am also enjoying the slower pace of selecting a disc and playing it on the SCD-1. A nice chan...

Room treatments first. I have the same sized room, though I took out a closet door to add a bit more volume. GIK Acoustics did my room treatments for $700.My KEF LS50’s needed the room treatments before they sounded great. It was a massive differe...
