Lest you think I am some sort of elitist, I am not. I look for deals on good to great equipment.
I bought my ref 3’s (currently $16K retail), used for $5,000. Motivated seller, local pickup, no boxes or grills, but otherwise perfect. Less than I paid for new R11’s. The R11’s are very good, Ref 3’s great IMHO. Sold the R11’s for $2,500 to a very lucky buyer. My BHK pre 1/2 price, same with my Moon amp. There are great deals out there.
As far as chatGPT is concerned, a great resource when combined with your own research & input from forums such as this.
New to this hobby please help me

@mapman +1 to some degree the definition of a stereo shop is what could be termed knife edge lazy setup. In fairness to the good people at Stereo Unlimited… going to be difficult to find a more extensive set of display inventory… no matter where you buy develop a relationship…. |
If you’re considering the T66’s you’ll need to avail yourself regarding the effects of extremely low impedances (well below 3 ohms) in relation to your amplifier. |
