2023 Florida Audio Expo Show Report
Already bought some new Sonus Faber, selling my old Legacy Audio Signature II's, in case anyone is interested!  
What happened to those dreaded 1099 forms we were going to receive from Paypal?
@superdryb20 Are you talking about for the 2022 tax year or 2023?  The IRS delayed the $600 threshold to 2023.  Are you saying the current House is looking at the threshold and where did you hear that?  
What happened to those dreaded 1099 forms we were going to receive from Paypal?
@nonoise  Lol, I think you'll have a hard time getting Texans to opt for a state income tax, even though property and sales taxes are higher than some states.  And, why do you bring up California, anyway?  And, since you brought it up, why are pe...

@seikosha And that's one reason why it's nice to live in Texas with no state income tax!  
What happened to those dreaded 1099 forms we were going to receive from Paypal?
@rbertalotto That is what I was afraid of, i.e., that some of these companies were going to issue a 1099K even if they were not required to because they are so eager to please the government.  I half way expected to receive one from Ebay for my sa... 
What happened to those dreaded 1099 forms we were going to receive from Paypal?
Yes, the IRS delayed the $600 reporting threshold until the 2023 tax year, which means if you sell over $600 this year through ebay, paypal, ect., you will get a 1099-K form to mess with on your taxes.  I had received an email from Ebay that I had... 
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
Lol, Sheryl Crow at high volumes?  There's your problem.   
Speakers for Michi X3?
Arendal Sound 1723 Tower THX.  60 day free trial, free shipping.  
Sonus faber lumin v or sonetto iii
I'd say something like 12 x 16 feet.  
Sonus faber lumin v or sonetto iii
I was able to hear a direct comparison of Lumina V vs Sonetto VIII at a dealer.  Importantly, both speakers were played on the same exact system; all we did was swap out the speakers. The sound of Lumina V was so close to the Sonetto VIII that I w... 
Got big amp-help with 20A line and receptacle
Update: Well, color me happy! I finally got two dedicated 20 amp lines run, during our recent kitchen remodel. No fancy breakers or outlets, just standard stuff that they ran. The new breaker has not any problem when I power on the Krell amp. The... 
Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria
Yeah, if you are sensitive to brightness in speakers, I don't see Focal as your solution.  I've listened to Aria, Kanta, and Sopra and they are all going to be pretty detailed and hot in the treble.  As others have mentioned, I would give a listen... 
No love for Legacy Audio
Aeris is phenomenal sounding, IF you can properly run the online setup, which can be tricky.  
Warning for Revel lovers
@artemus_5 If your Samsung has the ice maker in the refrigerator section, I may have a solution for you.  We have a french door Samsung refrigerator with the ice maker in the upper left side.  It would stop working every so often.  Upon investigat... 
First foray into Class A amp -- recommendations
  I ended up buying a Krell FPB 400cx and the sound has been great.  I have had it plugged into a regular 15 amp outlet and I'm about to have a couple of dedicated 20 amp lines run, just to make sure it has enough "juice".
