Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.
I researched speakers for about two years before making my final decision on a pair of B&W  N802's which I bought brand new in 2005 from the good folks at Audio Classics and they are still my main speakers. I have no regrets at all with these ...

Wilson Audio Haters
I don't hate Wilson speakers, I just don't like them. They don't make their own drivers, they don't design the crossover as they hire an engineer to do it, the outside of the speaker looks like the side of a car and they sound very dry. They are a... 
Vandersteen
I'm sorry, but I really have to agree with bewoods1962, he is absolutely correct in what he is saying and I do know what he means without asking him for a further clarification. I know this because I used to own Vandersteens at one time and got ri...

What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
You know sevs, your right, sometimes I actually see mistakes when listening to music while under ( no pun intended ), it's a riot.While on the subject of music, I can't believe the crap that is being put out these days and passed as music.  
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
Hey sevs, I also consider myself blessed, but did you know that I actually was just kidding' around ? Just to make a point here, one does not see mistakes when one listens to music, one hears it.I suspect most of us like the occasional weed, whisk... 
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
About 45 min before serious listening to a serious piece of music I take one HYDROCODON-ACETAMINOPHN  or better known a pain pills. It helps one tolerate any mistakes made in the music, as yes, even serious music has it's mistakes. I only do this ... 
Please help! - Buy VPI Classic or keep Technics 1200
Keep your turntable and buy more albums, or as "bigkidz" says, get a new phono stage.  
Heard the B&W N804d3s ...
I have the N802's bought new in 2004.1. I personally feel my N802's appearance looks better than the        current 802's. I'm not just saying this, they really look better.    They way those lower 8 inch drivers stick out like they do      looks ...

What SS preamp compares to a tube preamp
The one SS preamp I own that sounds like a Tube preamp is my Mark Levinson 380S.  It was also written in a review ( Fi magazine)  that the 380S  sounds like a tube unit.  I'm very happy with it's sound and it can be bought under $3000.00 used. 
Class D Technology
In my personal opinion, I think the very best sounding Class D amp out there right now are the Classe Sigma Mono's.  However, I still think a  Class A,  a Class A/AB,  or  a  Class AB amp will still at this point in time beat sound wise any Class ...
