Relaxed, musical DAC around 2k used?
Audio Mirror Troubador new 
Stage III Concepts Cables - Any Advice/Feedback/Thoughts is deeply appreciated.
I’m watching this thread with some interest. I agree that contrary to common audio system wisdom, a top-flight cable can make ALL the difference, even in a mid-range system. I have invested in MIT interconnect and speaker cables which are the same...

Do $2k speakers + DSP = $50k speakers?
I was a bit confused with your tag line question. If you were to say DSP applied in an active crossover, I would say a $2K speaker could sound like a $8K speaker. Since you clarify that your DSP was meant to actually refer to room correction, I wo... 
Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s
Hey Steve. Happy New Year.One suggestion I might make is the Shelby-Kroll monitor and sub set up. I noticed over on usaudiomart that the designer has some cabinets and drivers that he is building out for folks as they specify. The midrange and twe...

MIT Cable Matching
The Oracles may be better, but IMO your Magnum M1.5 is no slouch. I'm happy with my mid-range MIT Matrix 36 ICs and Matrix HD 60 bi-wire speaker cables, which have really brought my system together with details and cohesiveness that really does co...

I live in the Houston area and had the PB1i speakers for a few years. Great soundstage, top to bottom accuracy and ruler flat on and off axis dispersion, and amazingly clear midrange. I sold them a few months ago, more just to try something new th... 
The most musical sound in my 40 year's Audio history.
Thanks for posting your history and that you're not happy with your speakers and system.  That helps others evaluate and work towards what they believe sounds best (within budget(s)) 
Hall of Fame: BIGGEST BADDEST Monster Amps
Can the Krell FPB 700cx be bridged to mono ? Definitely would tip the scales.  Evil grin.. 
Is the NHT xd System worth buying today?
@jeffersondavis:Sounds like you couldn't make the Xds sound the way you wanted because you don't have the technical capability. Those crazy looking upside down M60s were not a "replacement". If you are looking to some side-bar in an old Stereophil...

Is the NHT xd System worth buying today?
JD, have you ever actually HEARD the system? If you weren't interested in it, when/how did you "see them go for $1200 or $1500"? Was that like 10 years ago? lol.  The selling point of the system was not just the amp, but the active crossover and e...
