At what point do you...
Great responses. Thanks All for taking the time to share your thoughts/experiences. @immatthewj  Music Direct is EXACTLY who I had in mind when I posted. They quite often offer open box items but it's usually not a significant savings, however it'... 
Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested
I have said the EXACT same thing. I don't care how amazing a particular speaker may sound, if it looks like an alien or a UFO, I'm not buying it. I find all the high-end speaker manufacturers after about their mid-level lines they start getting cr... 
Finally received my SimAudio Titan back!
@btw22 glad this helped. I brought mine to Sim right at the start/peak of the Covid thing. I’m sure their turnaround time I must be quicker now? It killed me to be without her for that length of time, but like I said I got the Monolith so at least...

Indeed, looks alone are reason to go with Sonetto👍🏻. Grills off they’re even more classy and elegant looking. Something about that silver ring around those drivers😂! Honestly sometimes I’ll walk by and just stop, sit, and stare and admire them wit...

To clarify I’d give the overall nod to Revel F208’s over the V’s.

@dbeckwith so I have had my Sonetto V’s for 3 weeks now. At this point they are fully broken in. I have been driving them with an Audio Refinement Multi 5 amp. My first serious listening session was this afternoon. The same warm sound as the III’s... 
Clean power and it's affect on sound quality
How about vibration isolators for the remote control, couldn't that help sound quality as well?   Sorry couldn't resist...😝  
Transparent Audio is anything but Transparent
Sorry to hear about your experience. I have actually had GREAT customer service from them always. Every time I call/email Ian has been so super responsive and up front. I live in NH, and they're in ME so every time I order I get my cables next day... 
Ever have terminated speaker wires crossed/mislabeled from manufacturer?
How exactly do you use the continuity meter?  
Ever have terminated speaker wires crossed/mislabeled from manufacturer?
Thanks for the info @erik_squires ​​​​@ellajeanelle ! What's weird is that I know if the wires are crossed it's supposed to be audible (lack of bass), but I didn't notice that when I played them before I did the Audyssey setup.    I also read th... 
on the cheap
Bluesound Node! AMAZING entry unit. I literally after many many years of swearing I’ll never stream finally dove in. Got the Node and am still blown away by the sound of this little unit. The internal DAC is frighteningly good for its price point.... 
Amp — Leave on or turn off
I use my HT system Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Mon-Thurs the wife and I are in our living room. I used to leave everything on. But then figured if my system was going to be completely unused for 4 days, wouldn't it be better to power everything down? ...

Very welcome @dbeckwith. So much great posters and members here and this is always the first place I go to when I need advice/support. Speaks very well to your character that you reply to all comments. I always try to do the same… By the way my S...

@hazeloop I too had Dynaudio. Back in the day the Audience line (82's) was to date the best I have ever heard/owned. Unfortunately, I had to sell them after my divorce. I still miss them...   @dbeckwith I went from Dynaudio Evoke to Revel Perfor... 
Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested
I literally just shipped my III’s on Monday for a trade up to the V’s. They should be here next week. I bought the III’s unheard and can tell you @ghdprentice nailed it with his “natural house sound” comment. I completely agree! I also agree with ...
