Had anybody listen to LM3 monster speakers?
Anyone know how much these retail for in the US? 
Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss?
Totem Mani-2. One of my favorite monitors of all time.  Was in production for around 20yrs with very little changes. 
Horns: Why don't they image well?
Ask Alon Wolf of Magico why he designed a horn speaker as his flagship speaker? Or Tannoy why their best speaker is a horn speaker.  Ushers flagship is a horn.  Living Voices flagship is a horn too.  I love horns and own one of these pairs.  I thi... 
Are you seeing more 9/10s?
I believe age shouldnt matter.  If its 20yrs old and looks perfect, it should be a 9/10.  I see so many 9/10 ratings now that should be a 7/10 or less.  I always ask the question does it have any scratches or nicks anywhere?  And almost always the... 
Pbn Montana XPS sig speakers
Great sounding speakers, excellent build quality,  and a steal at their used prices.  Your amp should be a perfect match for them.  I think PBN speakers are up there with the best of the best speakers.  For whatever reason they seem to fly under t... 
Best High End Audio Manufacturer???
+1 for PBN audio.  Peter is great to deal with,  is very knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I will soon complete my system with all his top level components. 
Any Large Acoustic Suspension Speakers Being Made?
PBN Montana KAS-2, WAS-2, and Master Reference.  Similar to the Dunlavy speakers, but look better, built better, use better parts and drivers, and IMHO sound much better.  All this comes at a cost. 
Recommendations for putting new veneer on speakers
Also, I prefer to have the old veneer stripped off, and not just new veneer put on over the old veneer. 
What do you miss about old school hip hop music and why?
taters, your obviously familiar with some rap 
Is high end audio to snooty for its own good?
Calvinj, just looked it up.  I like it....I wish there was more of it with different artist.  I know a good handful of rappers can play instruments, and you can hear it in some of their songs.  Just wish they would use their talents more. 
Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system
Calvinj. Im a huge fan of too short.  I think most members on these forums would faint if they listened to his lyrics...lol 
What do you miss about old school hip hop music and why?
I miss the story telling, or the themes some of these guys came up with. I miss How different everyone sounded, and how each rapper had their own personality.  Nowadays they seem to all sound the same, and it is so commercialized now.  Rappers are... 
Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system
Why don't you give it a try rather than writing multiple stupid posts about the subject?  Ill even lend you a CD…or better yet a record.  
Is high end audio to snooty for its own good?
To me audiophiles are nerdy old guys that are a little on the weird side.  At least 95% of the ones I have met.  
Opinions on Krell LAT-1 Speakers
I listened to a set over 10yrs ago at a dealer for some time.  At the time I wanted to buy a set of their little brother the LAT-2.  I thought they sounded nice, and was built really well. Overall they were more of a neutral sounding speaker.  I r...
