| Danny Richie of GR Research describes and explains how he designs loudspeakers. I liked the end where he explains how he designs his crossovers. Very interesting to me. | |
| AXPONA AND SWAF SOUTHWEST AUDIO FEST WHO IS GOING? Would love to meet yall! Will see you folks at Axpona. Nice if we could put our username on our badges. Perhaps write it in. | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? The best speaker I know of near your price range would be the used set of Silverline Bolero speakers for sale in CA. They are fantastic sounding speakers that play full range and beautifully check off the sonic boxes important to you. I think the ... | |
| Roberta Flack What a voice! Just a beautiful singer. Sad news and lovely woman. Listening to her QUIET FIRE recording as I type. | |
| any members in Montana Thanks for the clarification. We are planning a trip to Bozeman and was curious about the statement. I don’t know Montana at all, but Bozeman looks interesting. | |
| any members in Montana “Missoula is not your typical Montana town. ” Curious what this means? Thanks | |

| I feel for you Agree 100% and have built cables, tube amplifiers and modified most everything I have have ever owned in audio. Learned a great deal and had fun doing it. | |

| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" One last point. Many of these acoustic companies will offer to study your room and come up with 2 or 3 price options. I notice these plans all but wallpaper walls and ceiling with a great number of panels. I question this approach. Start slow and ... | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" @onhwy61 your post is certainly true and reasonable. My experience mirrors what you stated. I have had massively to minimally treated rooms throughout the decades. I managed to get all the systems to sound very engaging and enjoyable. Natural wool... | |
| Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under? @steakster is 110% right. That Audio Horizons preamp is going to be a best buy for sound quality based on your budget. I owned one much like that one as well as many other tube preamps with retail prices up to $12,0000. The AH is the best of the b... | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? All gear has compromises including separates. I think making an assumption that separates always sound better is flawed today. When comparing separates to integrated amps today the sound quality differences will come down to design and execution, ... | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? Another thought on design and options for sonic purity. My integrated only has one input direct wired to the tube stage. Bypassed the selector circuit as I only need one input for my dac. This is another step that can deliver sonic benefits. Again... |
