Jay's barbecue - disinvited
@emergingsoul has written 1537 posts since 2020, none of which have anything to do with Jay.  How to discredit yourself in 20 words or less.  
Looking for a room friendly speaker with great bass ? Kudos Titan 808 - a hidden gem
@goingmobile Let me guess, you're trying to sell a pair.  Rhetorical question, as I know you are.  
Contact For Price
My one experience is with a dealer selling a pair of demo speakers.  He wanted 2x the going rate.  He listed them regularly for 5 years, and then drop the price near going rate, and then they sold fairly quickly.  
Jay's rooms almost done - getting nervous
I guess I'm totally out of the loop. What is this thread about? @8th-note Unrequited love.  
Stereophile - Sabrina 5
I thought I read somewhere, a long time ago, that Wilson wired the midrange inversely.  I don't recall the model, or whether this applies to all models.  
Things that “blow your mind”

Your favorite obscure song
The National - Fake Empire  
They should charge more for it…
@theophile The money from the government grant didn't go to develop the turntable, but the technology used tin the turntable, i.e. bio composites, which can be used for a host of things, mostly non-audio related.  
Vinyl Warm Up Time
I leave my equipment on 24/7, so never noticed any warmup.  
Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers.
The 10% tariffs across the board have been in effect since early April.  The reciprocal tariffs haven’t taken effect yet.  
Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ?
Opinion, no; knowledge, yes.  
Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype)
I haven’t tried to sell anything in the last 7 years or so, but 50% for something a year old or less, and between 25% and 33% for gear older than that was typical of my sales.  
What's the story with Borresen speakers ?
There are 16 pairs of Borresen speakers listed for sale on hifishark.  One dealer is selling 4-5 demo pairs.  Doesn't sound like a dearth of used one for sale to me.  
«40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!»
He who isn't busy being born is busy dying.  I think Bob Dylan said that.  
Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
Now if I can only find a woman like that.....   What's your budget?
