The Future of Audio Amplification
I am as big a fan of metrics as the next guy but fact is they never tell the whole story. So glad I do not let naysayers detract me from trying well documented real and factual new technology innovations. I have yet to regret it. I’d still be livi... 
The Future of Audio Amplification
The evidence of my ears are telling me Class D must do distortion right. Go figure!Dead quiet. Very dynamic and nuance/detailed yet smooth and lush. Soundstage and imaging to kill for. A touch warm even.  Where is the distortion?   Must be there s... 
The Future of Audio Amplification
I'm in rapture listening to the glorious distortions of my Class D amps as I write.   
Amp for LS50
Yes the ls50s definitely reward robust good quality amplification.  
New $24,000 inter-connect
I will be getting new bionic ears to go with the mega wires.  
Best amp for KEF LS50
I am using Bel Canto ref1000m amps and klipsch sw-308 sub.  Very nice! 
Most well rounded LS3/5A-inspired speaker?
Kef ls50 is talked about in those terms in some online pro reviews.  
Am I the only one that finds the "Round thumbnail frames" irritating on classifieds?
"High End" Agon is apparently very comfortable with embarrassing format ads compared to most everyone else on the Internet even Craigslist. 
Amp for LS50
Sounding absolute top notch off Bel Canto Reference 1000m (Class D). 
Have you had enough of Classic Rock?
Sirius gives me earbleeds like no other.   Lots of classic rock on Spotify 
Have you had enough of Classic Rock?
It is pretty frustrating that the local classic rock station just plays the same songs people mostly already know over and over and over again. Deep cuts anyone? Live dangerously! 
Have you had enough of Classic Rock?
No I want to keep hearing all those great songs over and over and over again. That's why it's called classic rock and not just plain old rock.  
New 2018 KEF R series...?
Heard R3s yesterday for the first time. Very nice. Would strongly consider owning. Just picked up a pair of ls50s for the current reduced price. They just went on stands in my 12x12 office. Very nice right out of the box even!   I am using a sub w... 
Is this the end of HEA?
These are the golden days of hifi. More to listen to than ever and lots of affordable ways to do it with very good sound quality.  Too bad pop music is so predictable and cookie cutter,  more than ever, but don't let that bug you.  
Movies employing music in a great way.
