| Your single most significant purchase mistake? Martin-Logan Monolith IIIx. Ultimately, my bad. Magnificent speakers that could never integrate into my room. Broke my heart. Sent them to Japan to an eager buyer, who paid the shipping! I got off easy, money-wise. | |
| Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air Consider a used pair of Revel M106. Musical but not "cool" like the LS50s. I've heard the M106 well presented at a dealer, and have a pair of LS50s in my second system. The Revels have a wide open feeling, like the Heresy, but, to my ear, more pr... | |
| Audiogon resolutions for 2022 - #1 less exaggeration when it comes to system changes H: I did hear a difference and I will get back to you in a few weeks about whether it was an improvement or not. | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided I learned far too late in life that a few weeks spent repositioning our speakers is the most important upgrade you can make. And if you haven’t done that, a new DAC or TT or power cord is really just going to be the answer to an unasked question. ... | |

| You can go home again When I was a kid, I bought a mono Columbia of the Marlboro Festival under Casals, and first heard it on a Magnavox all in one record player with a built in amp and single cone mono speaker, and I remember being transported by the beauty of it. (I ... | |
| Loudest Sound Ever? dweller3, indeed!And going the other way, from Discovery.com"It may be possible to destroy everything with a loud enough sound. NASA estimates the mass energy of the universe at 4x1069 joules. But that number is considerably smaller than the energ... | |

| More watts or better power ? Audiophilia nervosa? We all have it. Powered subwoofers and external crossovers to reduce the bass load on the Amators might be worth trying.You have great stuff, by the way.Have fun! | |
| System forclassical music I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't help myself...Marc-Antione Charpentier. Pronounced Shar-pon-tee-yay.Aside from me being a pedant, there were a lot good answers.They definitely should listen first and with in-walls... they can't. Enjoy:https://www.yo... | |
| Different amplifier class for different music genres? IMHO: At a price point, maybe. If you need a lot of power at a good price, Class D does that. Class A does not. I think matching the amp to the speakers matters more than what you listen to. I had a Class A ARC Classic 60 that was glorious but I m... |
