Wilson not delivering speakers as scheduled
@rok2id  I have listened to a number of the Polk's including the L200, L600 and the R500. I think they are all fantastic and I would have kept the L600's but the bass response simply overpowered my room (13' x 17'). Big, big sound and the ring rad... 
Tyler Acoustics Highland H3.5 or Focal Aria 936
baclagg, I used to own a pair of Decade D2’s that I bought from Ty used and sold them a couple of years ago so while the market is smaller for the Tylers they can be sold used, but you will defiantly take a hit if you buy them new and decide to se... 
What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
“Bargain” for a $20,000 component. 
any thoughts on tyler timekeeper
I was curious about those too. Dannie Richie with GR Research talks about them on his YouTube channel. Danny is actually the designer and Tyler manufactures them. Do a google search for Danny’s video if you haven’t seen it.

"Wouldn’t that be the role of the Dealer, not the manufacture?" I would agree if Wilson is in fact giving the dealers that information. I can imagine calling the dealer and them saying "we haven't heard a thing." Or maybe they are fully informed, ... 
Cheap $88 Sony SS-CS5 Speakers - Awesome
blkwrxwgn, I think I missed the boat on Amazon too. Those are showing $118. The thing that is so amazing with these is not that they sound like a Wilson speaker (they don't) but you expect them to sound like a $118 Sony speaker, and they don't. Th... 
Cheap $88 Sony SS-CS5 Speakers - Awesome
I wanted to see what all the hoopla was about with these things so I stopped off at Best Buy on my way home from work tonight. I missed the $88 sale, that ended last night, but I picked them up for $119. What the heck, if I don’t like it I’ll just... 
How do you enhance a bad listening room's accoustics without breaking the bank? thoughts?
To help with room acoustics it’s typical to get absorption at the primary reflection points and, for bass, in the corners and to some degree diffusion but in smaller rooms absorption tends to be a bigger issue. The trick is getting the right amoun...

A lot of the YouTube reviewers have been raving about these little guys. Cheap speaker technology has drastically improved over the last few years.

Man I wish I had that problem. Good for you though! I’m sure the wait will be well worth it, just hang in there. For what it’s worth I got a pair of new polks in two days. 
GR Research Upgrades
I’ve had two pair of speakers modified by Danny. Neither were terribly expensive speakers to begin with but they sounded really good, measured pretty well, and were well made (to a price point) and that tends to be the reason many send their speak... 
One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle.
Some people love Tekton speakers for the reasons they love Tekton speakers. That’s great! Said people love telling people how great they are. Also great! Buy and try has demonstrated that the ones I heard aren’t the sound I’m looking for. Trying e... 
REMINDER: tighten up your loose screws
Nice trick surfmuz. I had thought of using the blue thread lock before but that sounds like a good idea. I’ll use the thread lock for my fingernails instead.
