Seeking horn array loudspeakers with a maximum price of $17,500.00 per pair.
@kjl1065 , I am excited for you that you are taking the jump into horns. Do not worry about your Bryston amp at this point. It is a great amp and will loaf along with whatever horn system you purchase. I am a diehard Klipsch guy from way back, and... 
What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase?
BTW, if you want as accurate a sound as possible, you might consider a great headphone / amplifier pairing....you take the room (and the low ceilings) out of the equation, and still play your speakers simultaneously to feel the music through your ... 
What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase?
Based on the ceiling height, I am guessing it is a basement. Low ceiling could be an issue, as pointed out a few times here. Stay away from panels of any kind, ime. Look, part of the merry go round based on my experience is truly based on the qual... 
Can Anyone Identify These Speakers?
When younger and in the industry, I attended / was invited to, a number of speaker designer's (some very well-known now) "unveiling" of a model, some ugly and monstrous, as these in the photo are. Think about it, designing a speaker that can sound... 
Can Anyone Identify These Speakers?
These look to be a home brew of sorts. $10K is a lot of money for speakers. You can always contact the seller, as he/she should be able to answer any questions and/or invite a listen. My best, MrD.  
Hafler Series Trans Nova 9505 vs Yamaha M80 Power Amps
I have experience with both. The Hafler would be my choice, for a few reasons. (1) You can use any heavy gauge power cable of your choice, as it has an IEC connector, as this does make an improvement (2) Yamaha (as many Japanese power amps) has sw... 
Another great gone
RIP Sly, you brought so many great listening vibes to these ears, and many others, as, the op. Some life story, for sure! Condolences to your family, friends and listeners, around the world. MrD.

@rvpiano This is awesome. Congrats. Remote volume is a great thing, as everything we listen to has a different output level from one other. I know you experimented with bypassing your CJ preamp (going passive) and preferring the preamp. Your dac i...

@guscreek, the experience was a great one for me, but not because of the speakers, although they were enjoyable (at that time, my mains were a stock pair of heavily damped Klipsch Lascala, which still to this day, is the presentation I prefer). Ri...

@richardbrand , sorry so late for a response. Admittedly, my classical music listening participation is quite less than the posters here, on this particular thread. I am a rock and jazz guy, 45/45...A great example of an exquisite "studio, multi t...

@rvpiano , I asked about headphones, as you created a thread about having an interest in a great headphone system. I have a few studio headphones, all closed back (Sony, Denon, Audio Technica), as this has been my preference so far, however, I do ...

@richardbrand, as this thread is based on Mercury recordings, and classical for that matter, I likely should not have said anything at all, as I totally agree and concur with everything you said. "Multi Track" recordings are what I was referring t... 
Rick Derringer R.I.P
RIP, and condolences to his family and friends. Always sad when we lose someone we loved and admired. I met Rick in NYC back in the day, as I helped him purchase and set up a pair of mirror imaged Infinity Quantum QLS 1s. I enjoyed myself, that wa...

@rv, I hope and wish you well, always. It is wonderful when you can enjoy the music through the rig. What I find the engineers, producers and the artists do right, and this requires a very fine ear, is the ability to take each individual track (st...
