The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you?
@bigwave1 I bought a pair of Bose 401's from Crazy Eddie.  
Spendor D7.2 Pairing - First Watt F8
When you said large and open it makes me think less boundary reinforcement and might be better of with something like the Volti or Forte 4. I’ve owned Devores, Verity, Daedalus, Zu Union, and demoed the D7. I really like the Forte but I’m in a les...

@tomcy6 the cabinet quality is very high. To say this design is a monitor with a dedicated sub dumbs it down, but I think this design gives them the incredible dimensionality.

My first introduction was a Goodwin's in Boston.  I went up to listen to some speakers in 2003 or so and came home with a pair of Taminos. They were very dimensional, colored a bit, but I loved them.  A bit later a local dealer began carrying Dev...

@jc4659 Yes heard from a source very close that it is true, they are no longer in business. Too bad, a reminder that everything is fragile.  
Threshold Stasis S/150

@noromance +1 Thankfully it's easier to change threads than equipment. More than 10,000 posts and you should be kicked off this site.   
Alternative to Sonos.
I have a yoga studio and use Sonos (newer model) and it works most of the time. A few teachers have issues with the music cutting in and out and I’ve never been able to get to the bottom of it. All on the wifi system, perhaps something to do with ... 
Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono
The VAC is reaaly nice. Even the older Avatar can be had for around $3400 used. Use the extra cash to take your neighbors to lunch.  Let us know what you end up with. "Pump up the Volume..."  
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
I've never pursued Tekton because there is nowhere in New England to hear them. That being said it's always been my experience that you get what you pay for with equipment. The phrase that's turned me off- "for the money." I've always equated tha...

Hi @roncagg been a while hope all is well!   
Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti
I'd consider dropping a pair of Verity Parsifal Anniversary speakers in there.   I'm in agreement those look great. Relationships and having to be heard and listened to can be challenging. I'd consider it great that you are both letting your voi...
