Image/soundstage and punch/bass
I’ve not owned Maggie’s, though I’ve heard them a lot.In the right room, the Ohms soundstage is huge, possibly larger than Maggie’s. They image really well, but not quite as precise as properly set up Maggie’s. They are close. Like Maggie’s, they ...

Ohm walsh will do a lot of that for you.   
New Firmware Out For Sony HAPZ1 And S1 HDD Players
I had hoped they would add Quboz support as Sony does work with them on other products.  I would like a Hi-Res option.   
Looking to upgrade from my Goldenears
Love Hard Rock, and I've gone through a number of speakers.Some suggestions.Ohm Walsh 5000's or 4900's.  The 5000's essentially have a 4 band EQ on the back.  But, you actually want to take advantage of room reflections.  Really like mine, and ple... 
Tool fan needs help with speakers (and electronics)

Is OPPO worth the inflated price?
I was fortunate enough to get one of the last production runs.Then, I was even more fortunate to look at Ebay and see how much they were selling for.  I had 100% planned on keeping it and using it.But, more than double my money on electronics?  Ye... 
Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades
@mr_m It's simply, because no matter what thread Atroy gets in, he finds some way to spin how what he sells is better or a better value.Like you, I actually do like some of the Legacy line-up, the Focus SE in particular is a good speaker, and a lo... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
@jetter Gotcha, really looks like a whole lot of useless space and words to me.  No idea what it has to do with Pass Labs... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
Man... at least Troy is selling legitimate brands and equipment. Bo, appears to be using the "show-up and throw-up" method of selling... garbage. 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
@jetter Yeah... I under estimated the volume again.  Definitely hitting peaks over 100db+Oh, on the subject of Pass Labs no question they underestimate power and the class A bias.  Bias meter barely moving.87db 6ohm nominal load on the 5000's.  Do...

What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
@bo1972 I've never heard of Tru-Fi, is this a company, something you sell/rep work for?  Just never heard of it.
