Is it possible to bring your kids into this hobby?
LMAO. I was wondering if this hobby will be lost on the next generation. 
Choosing new speakers after 20 years
My Primaluna Dialogue HP has plenty of effortless power with my Schmidtlambrix Monk801s. These full range speakers do tend to be easier to drive though. This speaker company made it simple to purchase with their money back guarantee. 
Do you ever miss vintage gear you no longer have?
My Altec Lansing model 19s. The first song I heard on these was Black cow by Steely Dan. Totally hooked on them after that. I’m curious about how they would hold up to my current system. 
smaller speakers for critical listening?
Parker 601 from Schmidtlambrixaudio. Optional stereo subs reach VERY low. Transparent mids and high put the artist right in front of you. 
$5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick
Have you checked out the Monk 801 model from Schmidtlambrix audio?Crystal clear highs with outstanding imaging. With dual vertical enclosures these beauties go very low in the bass Very efficient set of speakers! They only sell online but will set... 
Full Range comparison
Check out Schmidtlambrixaudio.com   Awesome use of Alpair 12p with absolutely transparent sound with gorgeous cabinet finishes. I demoed these and hated to leave them! 
Tubes or stick with S/S
I have owned many solid state amps. I researched and finally went for a Primaluna Dialogue HP loaded with KT150s with Brymar gain tubes and I am done with amps! This thing rocks. The 8 KT 150s (thank you Kevin) give you bass that is soooooo author... 
Louis Chochos from Omega Speaker Systems
The Monk 801 (schmidtlambrixaudio.com) with a Primaluna Dialogue HP is an awesome combination. Full range speaker that images with amazing clarity. 
PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS
I have owned a Primaluna Dialogue HP loaded with KT150s integrated for over a year now and can’t say enough good things about this amp. I had my neighbor help me paint my house and what did I pay him with? Yes a Primaluna Dialogue HP! We both love... 
Going to try a tube integrated.
If you can find a Primaluna to demo do it. I currently run the Primaluna Dialogue HP with KT150s. Awesome amp! Powerful and tight bass and mids that are very close to the EL34s.  
Anyone ever see a speaker with spun copper ports with full range driver?
Spotted them on the Primaluna instagram. I guess they’re looking to minimize phase distortion without the crossovers. 
One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
For me and my ears my favorite and last amp I will own is the Primaluna Dialogue HP with KT 150s and Brymars for the inside gain tubes.  
Best LPs to Test Turntables
I would go with Stevie Ray Vaughn’s Tin Pan Alley. I’m just starting my own speaker company and this is the track with so much impact that I use this to demo my speaker line. 
Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing?
This one kicks.....”why is it” by Yellowjackets 
New $24,000 inter-connect
At some point doesn’t make sense to just hire the band to play in your living room? 🤣
