| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer @drlou77 that is a hell of a first show! My first were the two at the Fox in Atlanta in Oct. 1985. Regarding the subwoofer question, I think SVS is the best choice in your budget. The SB-2000 Pro is hard to beat for performance and value esp... | |
| Bowers & Wilkins 801D4 Signature @fredrik222 Those Audiovector R3 sound really good for their price. I enjoyed them at a couple of shows and been impressed each time. | |
| Integrated Amp ideas for a very young audiophile For the sake of your wife and to make it easy for the kid, I would be looking at something entry level but fully competent unit like the Yamaha R-N303. The Music Cast app is nice. The system works with Alexa. It is fully networked so he can pla... | |
| New Speaker advice I love my F36 but they do benefit from a subwoofer. I have Focal 706 in a bedroom set up and they sound good too. Hard to go wrong with any of the ones you are considering. | |
| What's a Good Way to Buy Music Collections? Try Bandcamp if your artists are available there since the artist gets a larger share of the profits on that website. | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? A good budget DAC should be a step up from the one in the Airport Express. Topping, SMSL, and Schiit all have well measuring and nice sounding DACs in you budget. | |

| A step to the side- Smart TV question Sony OLED. Uses the same panel as LG but has much better user interface. | |
| Pee Wee Herman has passed away Loved Paul Reubens work. I guess I first saw him in one of the Cheech and Chong movies. The TV shows and the movies based on Pee-Wee were all great. | |
| Salk Future TBD Sounds like an amazing opportunity for someone with the right skill set. I love the idea of doing this but I know I don't have the skills or experience in either cabinet making or the speaker guts to make it work. | |
| Inexpensive streaming amplifier Go with separates since the streaming part goes obsolete fairly quickly. WiiM Pro streamer for $150 and your favorite budget amplifier. Small class D amps like the Loxjie A30 or a full size amp like the Yamaha A-S301. | |
| Is a home theater even worth it or doable? If you are into movies then absolutely especially the big spectacle movies with lots of effects if you can manage to set up a fully immersive surround sound system with two or more subwoofers. Be aware that streaming audio for movies is usually n... | |
| Lucinda Williams' Stories From A Rock n Roll Heart. Saw her at Merlefest like 20 years ago. Excellent show despite the pro-war Bush fans heckling her. | |
| What to do with my legacy CD collection? I ripped several thousand and then stored them in boxes. |
