| Looking for speaker ideas. Owners and reviewers are finding these are so incredible they're replacing their Avantgardes, Wilsons, etc. with them. http://www.wavetouchaudio.com/products.htmlI've had their Grand Tetons (the predecessor) for 3+ years... and... I've found noth... | |
| speaker shopping http://www.wavetouchaudio.com/products.htmlYou will find nothing <$10,000 that sounds better than these. People are replacing their "high-end" speakers with these - they're that good (see all the reviews). If you don't mind their look, you ca... | |

| Bookshelf Speaker Recommendations Absolutely... the LS50's with the A21 - "match made in heaven." Had this for 3 years, before moving on to higher priced stuff. | |
| Stand mount speakers for a very large room !! Well... if... you’re after incredible sound in a stand mount monitor, you will find none better than the WaveTouch Audio Grand Teton’s (now Antero’s). Many are replacing their high-end floor standing speakers with these.I have the Grand Teton’s an... | |
| 1st speaker considerations: Odyssey Lorelei, Meadowlark Shearwater, Spatial M3 Turbo S Definitely... definitely... the Spatial M3 Turbo's! Like Maggie's on steroids... great soundstage. | |
| Anticables I would not characterize Anti-Cables as a "scam," any more so, than much higher priced cables, that may not sound any better. The materials for most cables are not terribly expensive. You pay the premium prices for the specific design and creativ... | |
| Selling speakers to a buyer in Russia? And by the way, these procedures are those you should use for any international transaction - they are not directed, exclusively, at those with Russian citizens. They are no more, or less, honest than the average US citizen. Many of the above comm... | |
| Selling speakers to a buyer in Russia? Lot of good suggestions... but... if you decide to do it:1. Advise the buyer of your terms and let him decide if he wants to accept all the risk.2. Have him accept risk of loss from the time you deliver the package to the shipper.3. Allow him t... | |
| To Pre or not to Pre? Here is my take As I've posted elsewhere on Audiogon, I compared both the Creek OBH 22 SS Passive Preamp, and the ARC Ref 3 Tube Preamp. I got the Passive Pre, initially, because I wanted to eliminate the preamp, but retain a remote volume control. The Passive ... | |
| Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions Well... all of those are great... but... why not get a "giant killer" that's new, which will rival any of these, which won't require cap maintenance any time soon, and which will drive most anything...I've got the ClassDAudio (brand) SDS-470C, whi... | |
| Best reasonably priced SACD player? I greatly prefer the Sony SA5400es to the Marantz - it just seems to have better resolution, detail and clarity. Though, the Marantz has a rich, warm, tube-like sound - but, at a cost.However, the Sony is no longer supported by Sony, so you have ... | |
| Securing Monitors to a stand Also - I use a concrete patio block (16" square) as the base under the stands and spikes rest on the block - very stable and difficult to knock over - compared to sitting on carpet. | |
| Securing Monitors to a stand I use some rubber foam mat that I got at Home Depot in a role to cushion the monitors and protect the bottom surface. Think I found this in the carpet area. Then I use a black nylon strap about an inch wide with a sliding compresion buckle to st... | |
| Hardware Options for Streaming Music From Internet via Pandora, Tidal, etc. Well... I do understand... that master analog tape has the best sound quality, followed by vinyl, and then possibly HD CD’s / files, WAV CD’s / files, FLAC files, and MP3 files (or variations of all of these). But... in my A/B comparisons the only... |
