Can a speaker just die?
This happened to me on a pair of Epos ES14's I had back years ago.  It was a bad solder joint at the binding post.   
Thoughts and experiences on the Spendor SP100 R2
Thanks to all for the comments and pointers. I am trying to get the SP100’s, and dealing with the seller trying to get to agreement on price.I noticed the pair of used S8e Spendors ... I would surmise that these are not nearly as good as the SP100's. 
Replacement Remote Control For Cary SLP 05 Preamp
I think 125 dollars is pretty darned reasonable for replacing a factory remote for a 6000 dollar preamp. 
How do people feel about BluOS?
Blu OS works well for me.  I stream Qobuz and it works well.  There are frequent software updates, which can be a little bothersome, but overall it works very well.  Stable operation and good search and tagging capability.

Dumb blonde needs help with power cable matching to subwoofer

Best Bang for your Buck DAC ?
I saw the offensive posts before they were deleted.  Truly despicable stuff by the original poster.  Hopefully the site has banned this person.  People come here to learn and share information, not to be insulted and read hateful comments. 
Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
What amazes me is that such a blatantly ignorant and bellicose original post has garnered 4 pages of replies.  Why do people come here and do this?  Seems so pointless. 
Hapa Audio
Hapa has a 'circle' on AC, with quite a lot of user reviews there.  Don't know if they are spotaneous or orchestrated by Hapa as guerilla online marketing. 
This forum is antiquated.
