Bryston 4B Cubed vs Hegel H360 vs Benchmark AHB2
My current Audience Ohno III speaker cabling is good enough for my modest system. Certainly not a weak link. No new cables until I buy my replacement office system. The waiting seems to be taking a long time.

@clarinetmonster2 I don't love the Nova 150 but I like it a lot for what it does and the price I paid. I even use this with an iPhone input so you can see I am not looking for the last word in audio quality. Saying all of that it is better than av... 
A little Patience sometimes pays off! (Kef LS50 content)
@mtdining You must be right and KEF, Thiel, Tannoy, Vienna Acoustics, TAD, and likely others I have not heard of are ALL wrong in their speaker design.@singhania59I use the Audience Ohno III with the LS50's. Not too expensive.https://www.dagogo.co... 
Recommendation on power amp
@transnova  I have heard rumors that the Blades 2 can fit in small rooms, sort of an audio urban legend. Would you mind taking a look at my virtual system and tell me if I would be crazy to out the Blade 2 into this room (for only a few years). Cu...

@noble100 I am looking to get floor standers because I think I can make it work with a DSP capable preamp. I have had monitors for the last 10 years and never had the space for floor standers. I now have a room where a small floor stander like the...

I needed some acoustic treatments to make my LS50 sing. The speakers are sounding great now in my small office. I have some pictures in the virtual systems section with the treatments.I think I have the ideal sized room for the LS50. Even with thi...

@ron1264 I sent you a message. I don't want to divert this thread with my own questions about the STR.

@ron1264 What preamp are you considering for the Coda or Anthem STR? I am also considering both of those amps if I buy the Paradigm Persona 3F speaker.  
Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions
I hate it when certain experts show up to these threads and pollute it with their expertise. Don't read the __ thread if it offends you. 
Audiogon IGNORE Feature
@mental You got the definition of IGNORE that I referenced correct. I do not want to see tons of post, especially arguments on threads. I would rather skip them or have them compressed. I could not care less if these same IGNORED people  see my po... 
Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby?
When you think that far into the future, I find myself doing so rather often. You realize that the "important" things of today maybe not so important in the grand scheme of things. I am currently reading my first real book in about 25 years (non-t... 
Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
I emailed Doug Schneider who did this review of the Blade 2 and asked him which was better the Blade or Blade 2. He said he thought the Blade 2 was better even in a bigger room.https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/960-kef... 
Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
I also have heard the Blade with Hegel gear and then 10 minutes later the Vivid Giya G1 Spirit with Luxman $65K amps. I preferred the Blades. Different strokes. Both rooms were nicely sized.
