Horn Speaker Recommendations
I did visit Deja Vu in San Diego and learned all about their horns.  I am currently looking at Avantgarde and the Horns Universum from Poland.   
My Triad of Integrateds
Raven Audio Tube amps.  3 levels to choose from.  Outstanding sound that can drive any speakers. 
Request Integrated amp for Sonus Faber
I used the Raven Integrated Reflection MK2.   
Request Integrated amp for Sonus Faber
I have the SF Amati Tradition Homage speakers powered by a Raven Tube amp.  They range in price from $2k - $11K.  The sound is awesome.  Check out the Raven Website or call Dave Thomson, one of the owners. 
High end Cables not important for certain electronics?
YYZ --sorry that I can't tell you how I like the Makua yet.  I will say after talking to WorldwideSales - Robert, he convinced me that there is no better cable than the Inakustic for the Mola Mola.  I did not get the DAC.  I run a Lumin X-1 with a... 
High end Cables not important for certain electronics?
I have the Mola Mola Kaluga / Makua and I purchased Inakustic Cables to go with them.  On another note, I have use the Synergistic Blue fuse on my tube amp to great results.  I am planning on adding the SR Blue to the Kaluga and Makua even though ... 
Scottsdale Speakerfest, 6/29/19
I would agree that the ATC's sounded the best.  Then after talking to the Tempe Dealer, he indicated that there is an active ATC speaker that sounds twice as good...albeit for twice the money.  I would have loved to be able to listen to both of th... 
Special Event June 29th Scottsdale, AZ Speakerfest!!!!!!!
Thank you for putting on this event.  It was great to be able to hear affordable speakers in a non selling environment.  To often I go to audio shows or showrooms where they are only demonstrating $50-100K speakers.  For the average consumer this ... 
wilson sasha daw or B&W 800 d3 or rockport Atria II or dali epicon 8 or sonus faber amati
I have owned Wilson, B&W, and Sonus Faber and listened to Rockport.  I currently have the Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage speakers.  I was not a fan of the B&W sound. I thought Rockport for what you get are overpriced.  I compared the S... 
Tidal WiFi not as good as cd
Yes, the solution is a dedicated streamer.  Look at any of the Lumin products.  I have owned the A-1 and the X-1.  Tidal sounds awesome on my system and the app is super easy to use. 
3 channel amp for H/T
Noble100....what pre amps are you using with your Class D amps for HT.  Nord does not have a 5 channel, which is what I need.   
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
I just purchased the Mola Mola Kaluga and Makuna after having a beautiful tube amp.  Question....do you leave the Mola Mola amps on 24/7?  Or for that matter any Class D amps?  
Special Event June 29th Scottsdale, AZ Speakerfest!!!!!!!
Looking forward to coming to my first meeting.  My system currently consists of a Raven Audio Integrated Reflection MK2 Tube amp, Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage, Lumin X-1, Synology NAS and Isotek Aquarius PC.  I just sold my home and all of t... 
Which types of speakers are ideal against a wall?
I had the Wilson Audio Duette 2's and they had to go against the wall.  They were outstanding.  Sometimes, you can get a great deal on used but maybe still above your budget.  Raven Audio has just launched a new speaker line that you might want to... 
I want a streamer
Lumin all the way.  I have had two.  The A1 and now the X1.  The Lumin AP is fantastic and super easy to use.  The sound is awesome.
