Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
I setup the LRS+ this morning in my office, 12 x 11 x 9 with 4 additional feet in the closet where my desk is stuffed. The room is treated, and I think it is sonically in very good shape. I learned over the weekend that my Benchmark LA4 preamp ha... 
Meze Empyrean/Elite new Angled pads. £199 well spent or a total joke.
Meze is a good company and would give them the benefit of the doubt. You likely will find your answer here. Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
The young demographics' excitement with music reproduction is with headphones. Cheaper, easier to get into, and can exceed 2-channel in many ways.

@arafiq I got lucky. When I called the dealer on Monday they said a new delivery was expected the next day. Lucky for me they had an extra unclaimed pair. I will pick them up on Sunday but will only be able to listen on Monday. @jjss49 I sold my ...

Got some good news today. My LRS+ is ready for me to pick up. Problem is finding time to make that 1-hour drive. I will have the KEF KC62 sub arriving on Friday. Since I listen for about 15 hours a day in my office these 2 units should get worked...

Goosebumps listening to his music today.

Not sure if I have vast experience, just recent experience. I placed a 50% deposit on the LRS+ today. I may get lucky and get the LRS+ this week, otherwise, maybe another 3 months of waiting. I emailed Maga Risers earlier today and will order a s... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
I have put up my Lumin X1 up for sale if anyone with the GAN1 is interested. I may trade it in tomorrow if I get a good offer. I am going to upgrade that DAC to the Playback Designs and the Playback Designs Stream-IF gives me the streaming functio... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
Been listening some more to the modded GAN1 and my KEF LS50 Meta. Still not at the uber sonic levels of the CODA #16 gear but damn this is still some fine sound. Next month, I will be buying my Livingroom speaker, the Yamaha NS5000, and I think I ... 
Looking for a great set of Wired Headphones
I had a Meze Empy at $3K and I thought it was rather good. There is something called the Meze 99 Classic that is supposed to be along the lines of the Empy. The Classic is $300.   All | Meze Audio - Sound. Comfort. Design. True high-end.    
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
I had a Playback Designs Stream-IF ($2K) still in my office for the last 3 months and put it into my system yesterday. I noticed that it had a COAX stream output, so I wanted to try it on my modded GAN1. I first installed the ASIO driver from Play... 
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
@campoly I did read that FAQ and also asked Magnepan a question about my room (no response yet). Whatever the case I am going to buy it and give it a try. Reading here about the popularity of the LRS+ makes it an easy resale. Though I think it wil...
