No problem buddy, we all make them.

Ralph, all that I can say is you are the best, and it took a putz like deep333 to make you even come close to bragging, which you have every right to do, but you never do. He picked the wrong target this time!

@stereo5 

What would you recommend?

@stereo5 

I looked back at your recommendations and must disagree with your inclusion of Volti as not being appropriate. That could not be further from the truth.

"There is no such thing as truly excellent crap that worked brilliantly for any kind of music."

That is a strange opinion. I have had quite a few speakers, large and small that were very satisfying with every type of music. I don't know what your yardstick is...a fraternity beer blast?

@deep_333 

If I only listened to a few audiophile discs, (I don't own records) there would be no way for me to know how all genres of music sound on a given speaker. I have also been exposed to plenty of live music in my life, and my Father was a violinist.

I believe that the difference between us is that I know that duplicating the realism of live music of any type is not fully possible on any system. The key to a good system I think is one that is able to reproduce a well balanced illusion, scaled to the room in which it is being played.

Nothing that the likes of you would say could bother me, and as for Ralph, he is one of the most highly respected men on this forum as well as the high-end audio industry. That is something that you will never be.

I was thinking last night that there might be alcohol involved.
