Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades
I wish I could go to Munich, not just to compare the Kef vs Vandy’s, but also to finally listen to a pair of MBL’s.Unfortunately, my gardens need my attention.B 
Tight bass sub recommendations
@big greg, No problem.@millercarbon,I have no doubt 'The Swarm' works well, but it just makes sense that multiple subs will nullify/even out room nodes. Any of the subs listed would do that, when 4 or more were hooked up. The problem is who has th... 
Classical Music for Aficionados
@jim204,I may have mentioned it, but I use something called Fidelizer, which seems to do much the same as O&O.I might just give it a try and compare the two software platforms.I am also in the middle of trying a new streamer- Laufer Teknik’s M... 
Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members?
Common courtesy, and just basic manners, have devolved into a selfish 'me only' attitude. Just look at the state of this country if you want to confirm it.B

Music I would succumb to under torture
Even without having it shoved down my throat, 5 minutes of Hamilton is enough to make me resort to physical disfigurement.B 
Help with a suggestion for using audio equipment in extremely humid climate conditions
If you are so fortunate as to own a house near the ocean, I would think you would also have air conditioning?I'd be more concerned about salt damage.I worked in the Hamptons and saw firsthand how the ocean would necessitate yearly repairs and main... 
RIAA, Questions only please
I decided that if Ralph wanted to have his own discussion about RIAA he could most easily start his own post. It is clear we will not agree anytime soon.As others have pointed out, a forum is for discussion.As for : behavior was not polite nor wa... 
Bluesound Node 2i Question
@gawdbless,I got the best service using the Help tab in the App. Inside there is a 'Send Report Request'.I usually got a response within a day.They seem to have only 2-3 agents for troubleshooting, so they are probably stretched quite thin.I have ...
