| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Another vote here for the Paradigms. Also try listening to Martin Logan Electrostats....with powered bass like the Ethos...at moderate levels they are clear and for me non-fatiguing for hours. | |

| Anybody Using a Portable Audio Player (DAP) As a Streamer? As an aside...I use a Fiio M11 Plus LTD as my source > Bel Canto S300IU using the lineout (LO) function > 1 to 2 rca cable into the Bel Canto > ML Ethos.... Sounds awesome and simple to use. | |
| Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc. Have tried and subscribed to Tidal, Amazon HD, Spotify and for a bit Idagio. Have narrowed down to Qobuz for detailed listening sessions at home, and Spotify until recently for car, Bluetooth, wireless Headphone, etc. Now am actively downloadin... | |

| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? I also deal with tinnitus. Mine is in the 8-9Khz range. I will be receiving a new FDA approved medical device (Lenire Neuromod) later this month in hopes of mitigating the 50 dbs ish tinnitus level. Having said that, I treat my dedicated listenin... | |
| True high-end Speakers need a midrange I'm surprised nobody has mentioned electrostatic solutions.....for 2 channel focused listening experiences, a pair of hybrid electrostatics (ex: ML Ethos) does IMHO a great job for a two way with 375Hz crossover. Seamless delivery of sound... |
