You should probably practice up on your interrogation techniques and only buy local where you can read body language and voice intonation.   
Stuff You Tried To Love
Wanted to love the Devore O/93 but they made my ears ring. Love all other Devore speakers and tried several amps and even put them in another room for a while. Lygndorf was bad to me. So much hype way back in the day but I just couldn't handle th... 
My First Stereo. What Was Yours?
 I was born in June of 1978. The first stereo I remember was my dads MC 2125, C-28 and Yamaha turntable. The speakers were ADS 910's.  Have had a number since that time. Too many to recall, but VAC and Verity, and Leben and Devore are what I imag... 
Free air, tighter bass - snake oil or cheap tweaks?
I have 2 fully insulated Chewbacca suits, 1 for each speaker. I find the coarse hair textures really help settle the image. I suppose you could use grizzly or maybe moose. however I'd try the shorter moose on monitors. Totem used to give those be... 
where I can buy tubes to my ALLNIC PRE (3A/110A and 3A/109B)
I have a great tube dealer but it takes him 3 months to ship so it depends on whether or not you need the tube, and if you have patience.  
Replacement for Shindo
Is this an importer issue or did they close up shop? What ever happened with you Oppo, did they go under too or was it local issue?   Good luck, these do come up used often. Or call dealers and negotiate a deal. Most Shindo and Leben dealers wor...

Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s
Great to hear these have met your expectations! When I was speaking to Frank (this was like 2 years ago) he seemed to have a great understanding design and of the sound he was after. He was also quite familiar with the Verity line, which I am too.... 
Would u give up usher mini dancer 2 for b&w 802's
I’d almost rather the miserable outspoken pessimist to the fanboy that always has the best thing ever. Maybe, it’s a close call.  
Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box
Seems to be a little turbulence in the air.   
Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box
My apologies I didn't read the whole post. I had a pair of Vandersteen 5's that had a high pass filter to just run the top portion in essence doing what you are saying here.  Haven't tried to high pass any other speakers but I do know some of min...

Why set a sub to 60 if your speaker goes to 30? Go big or go home?  
Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore!
In my experience since 2000 there has been a growing serge of home based audio dealers. They are typically somewhat well off retirees that have turned their audio passion into a small business.  As you might imagine some of these guys are single ...
