High End Speaker Prices
Adding to this... I work for a very high end luxury wine producer we have a wine that sells for $425 per single bottle, and we're launching a new one in 2017 that will retail for $600-800 per bottle.It's a different market and mentality, and diffe... 
What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker?
whichever your direction, get a beast of a sub to control the low and bass drum. 
Rock and roll speakers?
I think Dynaudio does a great job of playing both rock and roll AND classical music very well.Typically, I prefer different speakers and setups for those two very different styles of music. 
NAD C375Bee or Yamaha A-S2000
I loved the NAD C375BEE in my system with Dynaudio fronts, particularly with rock and jazz. That amp punches way above it's weight class. I sold it for a Musical Fidelity A5, and its the biggest mistake in audio that I've made.If your musical tast... 
Your most disappointing purchase or audition?
Interesting the amount of disappointment with Musical Fidelity products in this thread 
Your most disappointing purchase or audition?
great question/threadHad an NAD 375 BEE, loved its sound paired with PSB then Dynaudio speakers, but fell into upgrade bug and reading about NAD being "mid-fi".So, sold it here for a Musical Fidelity A5. Wow, did my my speakers shut down. Terrible... 
Budget floorstading with a good waf.... Help
PSB Synchrony 2 used 
Outdoor speakers
These are not in-ceiling:I've owned the PSB CS1000 and I currently have Definitive Technology AW6500.I like both. The PSBs are more detailed, and very crisp up top, slighty fatiguing on some recordings and mp3.The DefTechs have way more low end au... 
$6000 budget question
The Aerial 7Ts that are currently for sale on Agon would seem to meet your needs, as you describe them.Great reviews; great PRaT, slightly warm and detailed - but not overly so. 
Speaker Upgrade Help Please
Again, thanks all for the responses.The wifey prefers wood Cherry finish, as it matches other stuff like my REL B1 and furniture. The big black fronts of the Vandy's won't go over, nor will some 9 foot metal and black monstrosity. So, basically I'... 
Speaker Upgrade Help Please
Thanks for the responses. The wife won't go for Vandersteens, but I would love to demo ProAcs in the Bay Area.I'm also interested in upgrading within the Dynaudio line, but don't want to go to monitors given the large amount of space I want to fil... 
PSB Platinum M2 vs PSB Image T6 help
While the Image T6 is nice, the Platinum M2 will give you better sound, but you'll need a sub to get the low frequencies. 
Best alcohol for party?
I work in the business.Get two bottles each of a $10-20 red and white wine. Try Starmont Napa Valley Chardonnay and Cabernet.Then grab a bottle of Bacardi, with some cokes, and a bottle of Gin with some limes and tonic water.Finally, get a 12 pack... 
MacBook, old receiver, and external hard drives
Thanks for your response Mwheelerk.I do plan on using iTunes, but may augment with a budget "skin" that will improve playback quality (recommendations welcome).I understand that its best to use different formats for the MacBook input (firewire fro... 
Good speakers under 10K.
Check out a pair of Dynaudio C-1s, plus a REL Subwoofer like a stadium 3.Also, Dynaudios pair well with SimAudio Amplification.
