Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
Anyone with experience to share regarding Rogers EH series? I found a dealer within a one-hour drive and like the looks...and obviously the specs looks great. 
How much would I lose going to a Bluesound Node 2i
I have Bluesound Powernode 2 to my desktop KEF LS50’s (passive), a Bluesound Vault 2 in my guest room setup, and BlueOS on my NAD T758v3 in the living room 5.1.2 setup. I like them all but know there’s more to be had from the LS50’s. When my deale... 
KEF for Near-field?
I’ve heard all of the ones mentioned except the X300A. I have passive LS50’s on my desktop now, but would have the LSX if they were available when I sprung $900 for the LS50’s that really are a little too large for this application. The LSX is a k... 
New 2018 KEF R series...?
Read through the (very detailed) white paper on the new series. Of course a lot of ad-speak, but it seems a lot of facts and illustrations to back it up. I should get to hear the R3 this weekend.[url]http://us.kef.com/media/doc/r2018_whitepaper_en... 
KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4?
I'm confused about the comment regarding KEF Muon being a copy of the Dynaudio C4. I just don't see any sort of resemblance. The Muon, introduced in 2008 is an all-aluminum cabinet shell with activated carbon damping material lining it. The Muon c... 
Help me upgrade my speakers?
I like your idea of Totem Element Fire! Those are incredible. With every speaker Totem makes, I'm continually amazed at how much they get out of a given sized box. It's baffling, but in a very good way. 
Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5
Wow, I don't know when I've ever read the same crap over and over again from the same person, he gets called out on it, and just keeps doing it.He pats himself on the back about all he's "learned", yet can understand basic writing etiquette, synta... 
Dealers That Sell Large Volumes of Used Gear Online
Reading all of these I see Spearit Sound mentioned several times. They closed for good last fall. The new factory refurbished B-Stock dealer for NAD is now Safe & Sound HQ of Chicopee MA. I believe they got a couple of guys from Spearit Sound ... 
$1000-$2000 Floor-standing speakers for larger room w/NAD 326bee
I have 3 cats, and KEF R500, driven by an NAD T758. The cats totally ignore the speakers, and they look great (to me) without the magnetic attached grills. They don't bother with the speakers even with the grills on, though if they did the grills ... 
Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass
That larger room is what the Blade needs to sing. And man, they do. Like no other speaker I've heard, when they have the space around them is where they work best and have a remarkable ability to project the most defined soundstage I've ever heard... 
Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
When I start listening to the difference sound for which direction I installed a fuse, I'm not listening to music anymore. I'm searching for extremely subtle changes in sound quality that may or not even be there, but certainly ignoring a great se... 
Stay away from the nad
I've found NAD to be Not Always Dependable. My T758 was bought as a refurbished, and 6 months out of warranty the DSP portion of the AM100 module failed. Thankfully my dealer had a used trade-in AM100 from a customer who updated to a newer version...
