Where does it end?
It ends where you can see the copper. For $4300, maybe gold? 
Tube Amp in Snowpiercer
I always thought that the Martin Logan Aerius speakers were out of place in Chandler and Joey’s apartment. Then I saw the episode where he bought them. He did go broke buying them. 
SQ vs. Music
I belong to a group on Facebook that focuses on audiophile recordings. Members suggest recordings that have terrific sound. When I first joined the group, I bought several recordings based on the suggestions. Maybe it wasn’t the genre I usually li... 
Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way?
I have owned a pair of Klipsch RP-5000 and I have auditioned the Forte IIIs. I found them both to be hard to listen to for long periods of time. The La Scalas I auditioned had a nice airy sound to them, but the sound stage and imaging were lacking...

How old are you?

The conclusion I've reached about speakers
I am always hopeful when I click on one of his threads there will be zero responses to it. But, alas there always are.   
Your favorite 'concept' album
Only one mention of DSOTM?  
Flat screen between speakers, again.
I take the cushions off of my love seat and place the back cushion in front of the cabinet holding the tv and the bottom cushion in front of the screen. It covers the 55” screen very well and it is 4” dense foam. I don’t know for sure if it helps,... 
DAC Break In Period
@rodman99999 I’m so convinced now I believe I’m moving on to cables and see what that does for me! 
DAC Break In Period
I’m hoping Santa will set me up with a nice coax cable. I’ve been good this year!
