Best Subwoofer To Use With A Two Way Speaker System
I have the Wilson Benesch Arcs and I pair them with a REL Strata III, picked up on CL for $400. Great combo, easy to dial in, and they blend together well so the REL isn't intrusive.  Sounds like I have floorstanders instead of monitors, but witho... 
ascend sierra tower with raal or Focal Aria 936
Well now, kosst_amojan, that’s a fine way to go about living your life. Form opinions about things you’ve never actually experienced in person, and then cling to those opinions against all logic or opportunity. With that mindset, there’s no point ...

"Ascend can't possibly be that ideal of a speaker"- kosst_amojan"We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out"- the music label Decca, 1962, when announcing they were passing on signing the Beatles"The earth can't possibly be roun... 
ascend sierra tower with raal or Focal Aria 936
@contuzzi, are you saying that Ascend's (or any manufacturer that sells directly to the consumer, in any industry) business model has no bearing on the way they price their products?  You not only said it means nothing, but you capitalized the ent... 
Tannoy Prestige made in China?
That’s a bingo, donjr. Incidentally, I own a pair of Wilson Benesch Arcs made in Sheffield, England, and a pair of BMC PureVox designed in Germany and built in China. Their retail prices at time of purchase were within $10 of each other - $6500 vs... 
Tannoy Prestige made in China?
I know exactly how you guys feel.  Every day I look skyward and thank the heavens that my iPhone and Samsung Curved 4K TV were "crafted" in the UK.   The former is instrumental to staying on top of my online business, and the latter is how I'll be... 
Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio
If this were 1910, and you’d ordered something from the Sears catalog and not gotten a response by postal mail in three days, I’d tell you to wait. But in 2017, when most people have email on their phone, and at the very least most people with onl...

What form of payment did you use?  
Ethical Help from the AudiogoN Community
I think you've done a good job with the ad.   Because you used the word "damaged" it's possible that John misunderstood and interpreted the ad as meaning that the tweeter is inoperable, but I've read it carefully and I understand that's not the ca... 
High End Amp Price Collapse musings
And yet another thread about how Class D will never sound as good as Class A/AB amps, with a few people who’ve gone out on a limb and tried Class D with great success representing the lunatic minority (I happen to be among the lunatic minority, wi... 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
Melbguy1, if every TAD you've heard sounds bright and fatiguing, you may want to see someone.  Neurologist, audiologist, witch doctor.  Gotta be a hospital or voodoo practitioner somewhere in your village.   Wishing you a speedy recovery and healt... 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
@zephyr24069 Please do come back and post some comments for us, even if only a quickie review.  Some of us here still may have a set of TAD in our future :-) 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
I've only had the opportunity to hear the Compact Reference, but it left an indelible impression on me.   I would go out of my way to get another shot at hearing those again and for a longer period of time.  The build quality was superb and they s... 
Peachtree Audio 2.0
Obviously, any brand can have a quality defect, but I'm thinking that the statistical probability of getting back to back units with the exact same defect is probably pretty slim.  I think cusco69 is barking up the wrong tree with the "cheap parts... 
Peachtree Audio 2.0
 Paksiw, did all of that testing, with multiple amps, multiple speaker cables, cd players, etc. happen at the dealer or did it all happen in your home?  Were you and the dealer able to re-create this noise at the dealer on one of his units?
