    What type of speaker still sounds good at low listening levels?

    That's the answer I was thinking. Horns and tubes.

    What type of speaker still sounds good at low listening levels?

    Curious on thoughts of this. Thinking more of speaker driver type, enclosure, efficiency etc as if effects dynamics, soundstage, rather than a warm speaker with a built in loudness curve...

    One of my PCR papers hits over 9K references

    Very cool. Yes, we utilize pcr's in clinical practice frequently. Hard to imagine life without them at this point.

    AXPONA 2025

    Hi, Agree on the Stenheim rooms. Two years ago the large room was superb. This time, the large room was not impressive, and the smaller room with Dartzeel electronics didn't sound good at all, IMHO. Agree the Boulder/Wilson room sounded good. The main Acora room sounded pretty good to me in...

    AXPONA 2025

    Missed these rooms. Would have liked to heard your room with the Accuphase set up. The main Accuphase room was hamstrung by the Gauder speakers.

    The Real Cost of a $1 million Stereo

    Fritz could have used some astronomy to accompany his audiophilia. I always think of Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot when thinking of the importance of family, conflict with those close to us, our priorities/agendas, and our short existence in the universe. Look again at that dot. That's here...

    What's your office system?

    I spend more time in my office than my listening room. Having good sound during work is a blessing. I have an old pair of Spendor Prelude 2/2's that I bought second handed many years ago. Had a Peachtree, but upgraded to an NAD M10. Fantastic piece, and I love its sound, presence, and display on...

    LTA/Steve Guttenberg/Are there true bargains in the high end?

    I enjoy watching some of Steve Guttenberg's videos. He comes across with a positivity and passion for both gear and music that is very engaging. His channel covers more main stream equipment than is the currency of higher-end focused sharks on this forum. I recently watched his video on the...
