What do you currently own as loudspeakers?

Does Audiogon charge you to use its forums for your marketing research, Larry? Would be better to put this into a survey with Survey Monkey or something and point us to it. Just saying...

Lrsky;

Aren't you a manufacturer/seller?

Have you considered what a reasonable man might think as he reads your response/attack on Tpreaves?

That's one big bully pulpit you're standing on.

Larr,if you are asking what gives the girls goosebumps i might guess that would be another goose,and not some speakers.

I am settled in with my Thiel CS6 speakers. I would rate them a 9 for sound and looks. Speakers are the summation the entire stereo system. I have owned just 3 different pairs of speakers since 1988. Each time I changed, the entire system had to change to fit the new speakers. In 1988, I bought the Carver Amazing Loudspeakers. I would rate them a 7, until I rebuilt them in 1992. That made them an 8.5. With the right amp and preamp, they were great sounding speakers. I changed to the Thiel CS3.6 speakers which then required a complete system change and I really never got them past a 7. Then I got the CS6 speakers and finally felt like I bettered my original set-up, but oh the cost! These speakers turn my crank. I had goose bumps last Saturday, in fact, listening to Patricia Barber CDs. What a voice! The glasses come off and the lights go out once the room is empty of background noises. I listen typically just on weekends unless it was a hard day at work and might fit in a record or two or a couple of CDs. It is hard for me to just leave the stereo on as background music. It sucks me in and then I get nothing else done half the day. As far as age- a deck of cards.

Lrsky?Correct me if I'm wrong as I often am on computers cause I cant see my neighbor,but,werent you the cat with the DK Design integrated deal about 6-7 years ago?There was a rather large whop-de-doo scandal here by many of us Goners.If not please disregard and have a large night,Bob
