2 way, which are the best designs?
Gosta, well, i have had PMC IB 2S and those i liked.I got a good price for them, so i sold them.But perhaps you're correct saying i'd better stick to a 3 way design.Folks don't seem to bother to look what MM 27 really is.For those that read this, ... 
2 way, which are the best designs?
D2girls, i listened to K2 9800 i think they were named.I liked those, but to big in my room. Part from that, i could never afford those. 
2 way, which are the best designs?
Gosta, no they’re not. But i don’t get what that has to do with my question?I’ve actually never used a 2 way design.Lately I’ve been curious to listen more closely to a few. The mentioned ones above are rather small compaired to MM 27. Hm, forgot....

I was thinking more of speakers offering full range.Like Escalante designs Fremont. 
PS Audio Gain cell or SPL Director?
I didn't like Gain Cell. It was way worse than i thought possible.I bought Nuprime Evo dac and CDT 8 Pro.It's not sounding like Wadia at all, more resolving, more ambient.Clarity and detail is key word without any signs of being harsh.I have also ... 
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
Before you argue for crazy upsampling rates on red book cds...I have my transport set at upsamling OFF.I have noted that all forced upsampling just make it sounds unnatural.I have my transport decoupled (floating) /discs of silenece on solid oak p... 
To bi wire or not bi wire
Or add a separate power amp for the bass drivers  
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?

Tyr 2 vs Valhalla v2
I once asked a dealer, what is the most extreme customer you've had.He told me, a guy buying a $25000 speaker tearing out all internal cable and replaced it with Valhalla. He told me, the cabling probably cost more than the speakers. 
Digital coaxial advice needed
I just found 2 digital aes/ebu sets i used back in 2002.One brand i don't remember, the other one is signal cable.I also found 2 custom made Krell cast cables.Perhaps i should try and see how these two digital cables work first.If i don't hear muc... 
Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables?
How do anyone really know that your coaxial is 75 ohm and your balanced dito is 110 ohm?My guess is this also affect the outcome (aka what you hear)Never seen any verification on the cable that it's actually tested and verified. 
The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
If all cables act like a filters to some degree and none is perfect and will never be, then there is no grail power chord or any wire/ cable out there since it's always system dependent? 
Digital coaxial advice needed
Yes i noted. As some say, google is your friend.So, IS2 hammer both coaxial and aes/ebu balanced digital connection it seems!?If so i don't get why there's only one port for IS2 on the dac i ordered.If jitter is zero and bandwidth is top, you'd li...

@ sonicjoy why's HDMI better than coaxial? 
Which HDMI for audio
@auxinput .. That Heimdall 2 is costing an arm and a leg. Nordost sounds amazing with Gryphon, but why do you think it's the best option for Nuprime?Please level!
