The law of diminshing returns?
Diminishing returns is not about the absolute level of money you spend on your system, but whether the last dollar you spent gives you the same increase in sound quality/listening satisfaction as the first dollar you spend.  Typically going from a... 
Thiel CS7 experiment
I remember a dealer in Illinois recommending two pair placed in a back to back, bi-polar setup.  I don't recall if he was using Krell or ML amps.  I never heard the setup, but the dealer said it was his ultimate recommendation over Wilson, B&W...

Look at the man's system!  He has spent tons of money. It's a great looking system.  
8 Reasons why you should buy an $50,000 DAC
You lost me at "invested".  
God, I hate to ask this…
You need to figure out for yourself what's important and what's less so.  Do you have the time and energy to sort out where your equipment and music library will go?  From what you describe that's the real issue. The unused equipment and maybe th... 
Dispersion, narrow, controlled, or bi?
I've never heard them, but the Steinway/Lyngdorf (at least some of their models) are powered dipoles with DSP.  They look quite interesting.

I'm kinda in the Kennymacc camp, but at the same time you should be able to say when something is excessive/ridiculous/silly/stupid/obscene/insane...  Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done.  
Accessing Belt on Immedia RPM2 Turntable
Accessing the belt is a nightmare.  Perkins changed the design in his subsequent Spiral Groove models. It's a two person job.  You insert a lever into the gap between the metal plates of the plinth and pry the plinth apart.  It may not separate e... 
MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers
@roxy54, please explain how you reconcile your current opinion of the 888s with you earlier statements in the thread.  
Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers
@atmasphere, you basically restated what you said earlier in this thread and it's a very sound argument.  I just don't think you are allowing for individual, subjective taste.  We've both participated in this forum for a long time.  One of the thi... 
Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers
Just because a loudspeaker will work better with a big solid state amplifier doesn't mean it won't work very well with your moderate power tube amp.  I am not familiar with either the loudspeaker you are considering or your current amplifier.  The... 
Terry Reid
I actually think Led Zeppelin would have been a better band with Terry Reid.  Not knocking Robert Plant, but Reid was a really good guitarist who would have made live LZ much more interesting.  We'll never know...  
??? Where Does "High End" Start ???
I agree with Audiotroy.  
Recommendations for speakers in a much smaller listening room.
Try your existing Tyler loudspeakers in the new room before moving on the something else.  
They should charge more for it…
The article states that a competitor to WB believes they should charge more for  the product.  He is simply repeating what an industry insider has stated.  What evidence to you present to doubt him?
