Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui
metaldetektor, thank you for your observations. I would be interested in hearing more as you listen more to the Tambaqui. What connects are you using, for example?That is precisely the type of feedback I wanted. It looks as if the choice will be t...

WBF is by far the best resource I've encountered. A lot of experienced users there, and it tends to be friendlier... What is WBF please?

Well thanks for the link, but the Tambaqui is not mentioned once in that thread, so it appears you have made an error. Neither is the Tambaqui mentioned in the video. As far as the musetec goes, this would never be on my radar because it is based ...

Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference?
This is a very silly question. Listen to them and let your ears be the judge.  
Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k)
"I just saw a super good looking set of VMPS RM40s and a matching VSS (very sturdy sub) for around 4K total. External XOs, TRT teflon caps, silver wiring and AC G3 tweeters. You won’t find anything like it. Period.. One of the top 5 speakers EVER ... 
High End Intergraded comparisons, Marantz, McIntosh, Levinson, Luxman....
I have heard the Kinki. It is good. Another worth looking at is the Japanese integrated Class D amp, Spec. The Spec sounds like a tube amp.

High End Intergraded comparisons, Marantz, McIntosh, Levinson, Luxman....
Mola Mola, ASR, Geman Physiks, Gryphon and Audionet make great integrated amps.  
Am I a hopeless audio snob?
Agree with Kuzma, Reed and Thales. Look at these.  
What are your favorite "HOT" songs?
