Would you spend you money on modest brand new car or rather buy top notch vintage one?
Well, try to insure 1M audio equipment.

The cars are not the subject of discussion.  The title of the discussion was chosen  for different reasons. The subject here is not to compare cars vs. audio equipment, but rather buying new gears  vs. used.

@roxy54 Many vintage audio gears fetch more money if they are in the original condition. No, I don’t believe that the reason being is - collector of vintage. Personally, I don’t know even one collector unless he/she is an audiophile first and coll...

@sns @blisshifi @z32kerber Bravo! Thank you for sharing your gratifying journey with us. That’s what I call dedication. You are perfect example of "blue collar audiophiles" - yes, it is a compliment. My hat’s off to you.

@skyscraper  You made me laugh so hard .  Thank you for the cleaver hummer.  You must be a stand up comic, aren't you?  
DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take?
@kingharold I don’t have exactly the same problems like you since my horn is dual concentric from 22k down to 400 Herts (it might even go down to 200 H since most likely I would let the dual 12" low midrange speakers go full range). However, I’m ... 
DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take?
djones51 These are all good suggestions, but if I had learn anything from the past, there is no substitute for large drivers.  If I'm not wrong, the speakers on your list are relatively small monitors. Thank you for your input - greatly appreciat... 
DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take?
There are high and low frequency limitations with full range speakers and therefore higher distortion at those frequency as well and not the best dynamics either. But I get your point. Better live with good midrange where most of the music is inst... 
DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take?
I agree, that’s why many of us like full range speakers. However, what do you do with two, three, or got forbids, four way speakers? Are you suggesting DSD perhaps? If so, they have other problems, as noted above from some members, or active analo...

@blisshifi blisshifi I’m glad that you’re able to learn from good and bad purchases - don’t we all do? However, if you don’t mind me asking how many varieties of speakers, amps, pre, source electronics, analogue and digital one can purchase over ...

At my vacation home and liking the way they sound using first order passive analog crossover.   
DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take?
I’m using low watt tube amplifiers and VT pre for the speakers, lampizator tube DAC/DSD, Esoteric transport, Garrard 301 with the original heavy mass steel tubing tonearm with Ortofon SPU G/T cartridge among others, Nagra T and Stelavox Reel to re...

Tannoy VQ60 118db with VS218 subwoofers - each side 400lb. The speakers can be used with 3 or 4 stereo amplifiers.  
DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take?
Thank you for the informative and extremely civilized discussion on the subject. No, I’m not personally interested in the PLLC. I also was wondering if the speaker impedance (let say over 100db sensitivities) , 4 way full range from 30 Hz up to 25... 
Can anyone tell me where the progress in audio went?
dekay I believe you're thinking about RCA  LC-9A
