The LRS+ Speakers
Audiojan- It’s interesting that the .7’s are the sweet spot for you. I’ve seen others who have expressed that they think the .7’s are Magnepans best value for the money.

Hey thanks. There’s something you don’t see too often- an honest, blunt answer!  
How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers?
“Come out” as an audiophile! That cracked me up. Just print out a little sign.  Welcome! Happy to have you in our home, and pleased to share the exceptional sound of our audio system with you. We have a Zero Tolerance Policy on touching any part ...

The thank you all!   
Feel free to talk me off the ledge
Nah!!! Don’t listen to anybody else. Just go buy those speakers. There. Off the ledge.  
The Most Cost Effective Tweak
RE: the addition of ficus trees. How many do you need? Well, if you can still actually visually see your system from the listening position, then you need more trees. Caution: most afficianados tend to  overdue it when adding squirrels. Be conserv...

DAC Dilemma
You know, that may be. I tried installing their most recent firmware upgrade and it wouldn’t install. I never thought about having them check it out for me to see if it was not functioning properly. It’s weird. I thought it was an improvement over... 
DAC Dilemma
Greetings. I started a thread here not long ago in which I asked for advice about changing DACs. As it turned out, in a testament to the depths of my own doofusness,  I screwed up and posted a digital question on an analogue thread, much to my une... 
DAC Dilemma
Someone posted a very well-stated case for the Benchmark DAC3, I read it at work and had to put it aside. Now I’ve gone back to look for it to read it more carefully, and it seems to have disappeared. He probably thought it would fall on deaf ears...

Secret guy: Boy, you got that right. My ex-wife is from Pitt ( Homestead) and I was figuring that the Hawks had a pretty good chance with the Stillers this year. She of course said, Ha! Now whatya think? I said, Gulp! I think we can count on old B... 
DAC Dilemma
David_ten: Yeah, that’s a very good point. Gonna have to think about that.Secret guy: Beats me. I thought I submitted under the digital forum. Whoops. I was bemoaning the fact that the Seahawks will be without Russell Wilson for most of the season... 
DAC Dilemma
Here’s what I think I’ve learned about myself. If I’m reading the Forum, or a review, or audio related article that is in some way descriptive of sound quality, or if we were having a conversation about the same, I would tell you that I want my mu...

You guys have been very helpful, and I thank you. If I’d swapped out for the Benchmark and found it to be bright I would have been a very unhappy camper. And the point of ARC being synergistic is a good one, I think.  
The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard
Okay, so first of all Millercarbon is right. I’m sorry, but he just is. Margaritaville is one of the greatest, and deeply meaningful songs ever written full of exquisite symbols, imagery, and metaphors. But, I would suggest I’d Love to Change the ...
