| What next for a Volti Lucera based system Before assuming the Volti’s are fully broken in, I’d drive them hard with your most powerful solid state amp, playing pink noise and bass heavy music loudly for at least 50 hours, preferably when everyone is out of the house (at work or running er... | |

| Im going to regret my cable question Save yourself some money while improving sound quality. I recommend getting them unterminated (bare wire) if your amps and speakers can accommodate bare wire. https://partsconnexion.com/bb-cable-duelund-dual-dca12ga-2x12awg-0-18-meter-piece/?se... | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? I somewhat agree with @gano to the extent that I use audio as an escape from problems and frustrations the world inevitably brings. I'm grateful that I have audio as a coping mechanism, as it's not bad for my heath, but it can be expensive if not... | |

| New Volti Speaker - Lucera Let us know how they sound once broken in. What amplification do you plan on using? | |
| Altec Advice for Small Listening Room Having owned 19's in recent years, your room is too small. A single driver horn or smaller Klipsch would be a better fit for that room. | |
| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. @toontrader Having owned both Harbeth 40.2 Anniversary's and horn speakers, I prefer horns. I'm currently using Cary SLI 80 HS with factory cap and hexfred rectifier upgrades. Pairing this integrated with upgraded EL34's and NOS tubes is a sneaky... | |
| Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under? I've been using a deHavilland Ultraverve 3 for a few years now. You won't be disappointed. | |
| SHIPPING speakers? I'd be careful shipping large heavy speakers without a pallet. It's not a problem, until it is... I learned the hard way, so future shipments (assuming larger/heavier speakers) will be shipped on a pallet. |
